Hello, I’m Bart!
I’m a passionate massage therapist and movement instructor, my mission is helping people reconnect with their bodies and rediscover the joy of movement.
My journey began with my first love—dance. I trained professionally in contemporary modern dance for five years, starting with three years in the Netherlands and completing my studies with two years in Portugal. Dance instilled in me a deep appreciation for awareness, discovery, and fun—the key elements I emphasize in every class and workshop I teach. I believe in fully feeling and understanding each movement, staying present with your body, and having fun together with the group.
After my professional dance career, I furthered my studies in bodywork, becoming a Sports Massage Therapist at MYOS in Utrecht. My goal was to develop the skills to help people who are struggling with their bodies experience the same sense of awareness, joy, and somatic presence that dance brought to me.
Everyone deserves to have a positive relationship with their body, and for me, awareness, enjoyment, and continuous discovery are the pillars of that relationship. My mission is to share these principles with as many people as possible, whether through movement or massage.
