“……..despite our differences, we’re all alike. Beyond identities and desires, there is a common core of self – an essential humanity whose nature is peace and whose expression is thought and whose action is unconditional love. When we identify with that inner core, respecting and honoring it in others as well as ourselves, we experience healing in every area of life.” – Joan Borysenko -
Hello, my name is Esther Schenkel and I’m a specialist in Rebalancing and Relaxation massage therapies.
My specialties are Relaxation massages and Rebalancing Massage Therapy (combined with breathing techniques, meditation, and awareness of body and mind).
In 1999 I felt that working as a HR consultant and trainer was not satisfying enough anymore. I love working with people, but I felt I needed to step away from the rational thinking, from endless meetings and discussions and tight structures. I wanted to connect with people in different ways and explore the different aspects within ourselves. In 2000 I finally decided to make a change and started with a three year training and journey inside myself at the center for Intuitive and Creative Development in the Netherlands. Learning to work with our energies, emotions, feelings and with the connections we make with ourselves and the people around us.
In 2006 I continued my journey with a deep and profound three year training in Rebalancing Therapy at the School for Bodywork and Awareness in the Netherlands. This very powerful training taught me, among other things, that we always have the possibility to find inner peace and stillness, regardless how we feel, where we are or what we do.
Other massage courses and working in a Spa supported me to further specialize myself in both directions: Relaxation and Rebalancing Massage therapy.
From my own experiences and through working with clients I have learned that most of the time we do not listen well to our body and what it is telling us. Uncomfortable tensions such as headaches, neck, back, and shoulder pain, stress, sleeping problems, depressed feelings or other discomforts are often the result. Rebalancing or Relaxation massage therapy can support you to release those tensions.
My clients are:
- those who simply want to relax for a while
- those who recognize those tensions
- those who want to be in better contact with their body and feelings
If you’re interested, please call me at (+599) 5863697 and make an appointment.
Although based on St. Maarten I also offer the possibility for sessions on the surrounding islands once travel expenses and time are covered.
