My name is Petra Mester and I currently live in Breda, in the south of the Netherlands, where I practice Esalen Massage® and Energetic Healing (currently for women only).
Bodywork may now be a very important and incredibly beautiful part of my life but that hasn’t always been the case. After graduating, I worked in commercial businesses for several years, being a dedicated and hard worker. Inspired by a former employer, I then added a new dimension to the concept of work: passion! Following my heart, I went upon a journey to find my own passion in life, which led me to the
Findhorn Community, the world famous ecovillage and international centre for holistic education in Scotland.
Being part of this community and living there for nearly two years, I gradually became more aware of the deep longing of my hands to be used in ways that went beyond using a computer! And so nowadays I am combining my work in a commercial business environment with bodywork and in that way I’m nourishing my own body, mind
and spirit!
I did my Esalen Massage® Training in Scotland with
Perry and Johanna Holloman, both certified teachers, living and working at the
Esalen Institute (Big Sur, California). Soon after successfully having completed that training, I found myself enthusiastically being called to do the Bodies of Light course with Tjitze de Jong, a graduated teacher in
Barbara Brennan Healing Science. During my nine months of training with him, I learnt different energetic healing techniques, which I now integrate in my massages and also practice in dedicated healing sessions.
I believe the main qualities that come through my hands are love, compassion, care and tenderness. Giving a treatment is always a treat for myself as well, as it brings me so much joy and peace!
Both in my massages and in my healing sessions I aim to create a loving, caring and nurturing space where the client feels safe enough to relax and let go of tension and troubles.
