The best way to reach me is by email:

I read and reply to every message personally, usually within 1 to 2 working days. For the quickest response — and to see live availability — please use the booking system on the Schedule Appointment page.
Why email and online booking only — and no phone number
I work by appointment, through email and my online booking system. This is a conscious choice, and I'd like to explain why.
Presence during sessions: When I am with a client, I am fully there. No phone, no interruptions. The work I offer asks for deep attunement, and that begins with protecting the container — yours and mine.
Clarity and structure: Email and the booking system keep every agreement, confirmation, and reminder in writing. Nothing gets lost, nothing is miscommunicated. You receive automated confirmations and reminders, and you can always look back at what was agreed.
Care for my own energy: Being easily reachable by phone, as a solo practitioner in this field, has — in my experience — opened the door to phishing attempts and inappropriate requests. Working through email and a booking system allows me to maintain healthy boundaries and continue offering this work from a grounded, safe place. This protects you too: the quality of my presence in our sessions depends on it.
If you've sent me an email and haven't heard back within a few days, please check your spam folder first, then feel free to resend — occasionally a message does get lost.
Location and accessibility
My private practice is on the second floor of an old city house (no elevator) at:
Provinciestraat 17, 2018 Antwerp, Belgium
The address is a 10-minute walk from Antwerp Central Station and easily reached by public transport.
If you come by car, please note that street parking is limited. You may want to use a park & ride facility outside the city centre, or a commercial parking garage nearby. For parking zones and rates in Antwerp, see www.antwerpen.be

Booked a treatment that may not be the right fit for you today? No problem. I often work with customised appointments and am happy to adjust your session to another of the same duration — just let me know in advance.
Please arrive no more than 10 minutes before your scheduled appointment, and make sure to be on time.

General terms and conditions
Payment: Online payment at the time of booking is required.
No refunds, one reschedule. To protect against no-shows, bookings are non-refundable. You may reschedule once if you are prevented by illness — in that case, please contact me as soon as possible via email, before your scheduled session.
No-shows: If you fail to show up without prior notice, the full session fee is due. I value your time and ensure you can fully benefit from it, and I ask the same consideration for mine.
Cancellations from my side: In the exceptional case that I have to cancel, you will of course be fully refunded or offered a new appointment.
Medical contraindications: These treatments are not suitable for you at this moment if you are pregnant, have (most types of) cancer, an active hernia, are under the influence of heavy painkillers or other drugs, or have recently undergone surgery. If in doubt, please consult a doctor before booking. Your health and its management remain your own responsibility.
Right to refuse service: I reserve the right to refuse service to clients who display disrespectful or aggressive behaviour, have extremely poor personal hygiene, engage in inappropriate conduct, or do not comply with these terms. In such cases, the full session fee remains due.
Hygiene and comfort
Please ensure good personal hygiene before your session — it is more pleasant for both of us. Avoid eating a full meal right before the massage, and bring comfortable clothing that can handle a small oil spot without concern. I recommend you keep your schedule open afterwards to rest and integrate what came up during the session.
Bookings
All appointments are booked through the Schedule Appointment page. Select your treatment to see available time slots. After booking, you will receive a confirmation email automatically. If you don't receive it, please check your spam folder or try again — and if anything goes wrong, email me at deeprelaxation.holisticmassage@gmail.com.
