Make a Difference at Your Retreat / event
Invite Deep Bodywork
Support your participants, performers or team — through deeply embodied care. Whether it’s a retreat group, a touring company, or a performance team — I offer intuitive and effective somatic massage that meets people where they are, and supports both body and being.
This work lands softly, works deeply, and responds to the physical and emotional needs of each individual.
While my private practice is rooted in bodywork for women, I work with all genders on location — offering restoration, regulation, and reconnection through massage.
Hi, my name is Tess — Massage Therapist | Womb massage & CNT facilitator | Intimacy Counselor
Based in Bruges (Belgium), I run a private practice where I support mainly women and those who carry the wisdom of the womb through deep abdominal massage (Chi Nei Tsang), womb massage, and body-oriented counseling.
In this work, I help people return to the subtle language of their body.
During retreats or events, I also work with men. The belly — our physical and energetic center — stores tension, emotions, and long-forgotten desires in all of us. Touching this area with presence often opens something that words alone cannot reach.
What I Offer
I offer 1:1 sessions on one or two selected days — unless you'd like me to be present throughout the entire journey. I'm flexible and open to co-creating what best supports your flow!
Besides bodywork, I’m also available to help with other supportive tasks to ensure your event runs smoothly.
The techniques I work with:
✺ Chi Nei Tsang (CNT)
An ancient Taoist abdominal massage technique that supports the detoxification of organs, stimulates digestion and emotional release, and restores vitality.
Benefits:
• Reduces bloating, digestive issues, and fatigue
• Frees up blocked energy and emotions
• Deepens the connection between mind, body, and inner world
✺ Womb Massage
A therapeutic and energetically tuned massage focusing on the womb space — or its energetic imprint (even if the physical womb is no longer present).
Benefits:
• Restores connection to the womb as a source of intuition, pleasure, connection and creation
• Supports hormone balance and emotional clarity
• Especially supportive in life transitions: menstruation, fertility journeys, postpartum, and menopause
✺ Energetic Body Massage
A full-body intuitive massage (60 or 90 min) working along the Thai Sen lines, the nervous system, and subtle energetic pathways.
This work invites people to drop beneath the surface, release old patterns, and open to deeper presence.
Benefits:
• Regulates the nervous system and promotes grounding
• Clears energetic stagnation and supports emotional integration
• Invites softness, sensuality, and inner safety
✺ Deep Tissue
A slow, focused massage technique targeting deeper layers of muscles and fascia — ideal for those carrying chronic tension or built-up physical stress.
Benefits:
• Releases deep-seated muscle knots and physical blockages
• Improves posture and mobility
• Supports emotional release stored in the tissue
• Helps restore a deep sense of groundedness and relief
Who I work with
I collaborate with retreat organizers, facilitators, therapists, artists, teachers and other spaceholders who wish to bring deeper bodywork and energetic support into their events.
I'm also available for short-term assignments with performance groups or physically demanding teams — such as artists, performers or athletes — where consistent bodywork plays a key role in recovery, release and embodied presence.
With a background in Thai massage (90 + 150 hours training in Chiang Mai) and many years of experience in deep tissue work, I’m able to offer solid, grounded treatments when needed — especially for those who push their bodies to the limit.
While this is no longer the core focus of my current practice, I carry this foundation into every session I give.
In collaborative settings, I offer sessions for all genders.
Why Work With Me
✔ I bring depth and presence. Every session is a ceremony — safe, grounded, and tuned into the deeper layers beneath the surface.
✔ I offer experience + intuition. My hands are well-trained (Thailand-certified), but it’s my attunement and loving precision that clients remember most.
✔ I respect your container. I work with your retreat or event’s structure, never against it — sensitive to group dynamics, pace, and energy.
✔ I adapt with ease. From high-end artist care to intimate women’s circles — I know how to meet people where they are.
✔ I expand your offering. My work adds a unique, profound experience that lingers far beyond the retreat — emotionally, physically, and energetically.
Please Note: August 2025 is devoted to a massage assignment in service of a traveling artistic production. My hands and heart are available for collaborations again from September on — feel free to reach out to align dates! 🧡
