Hi, I’m Fiona, I live in beautiful Haarlem with my partner Cindy and our 2 cats, and here I share a little bit about my professional background with you.
I graduated with a Master’s in English Language & Literature in 2005 and followed that up with a postgraduate teaching program in 2006. I taught in secondary and higher education from 2004 until 2017.
Yoga has been a big part of my life since the early 2000s. I’ve studied and practiced different styles like Raja Yoga, Iyengar Yoga, Vinyasa Yoga, Yin Yoga, and Restorative Yoga with some amazing, internationally respected teachers like Judith Lasater. My yoga and meditation practice has been my anchor through much of my adult life. After I left my career in higher education in 2017, I started working as a yoga teacher.
Over time, my focus shifted from teaching yoga to practicing Thai yogamassage. I attended my first Thai massage workshops in 2010, and by 2020, I began studying this wonderful art more seriously. These days, I work full-time as a massage therapist, and my practice has really grown. I also teach yoga and massage classes, workshops, courses, and private sessions.
I have a strong background in Thai massage, having completed multiple foundation courses and participated in a 3-year Thai massage therapy program. I’ve also taken many advanced courses in Osteothai, Dynamic Thai, and Chi Nei Tsang (abdominal massage) with internationally renowned teachers, and I’m still learning and growing in this beautiful field.
For me, yoga and Thai massage aren’t just things I do—they’re a way of life. I’m passionate about sharing my love for Thai massage, both in my hometown of Haarlem and beyond. Every day, I feel grateful to be doing what I love, to be part of the yoga and Thai massage community, and to connect with others through the art of touch. I like to think of myself as caring, fun, easy-going, and always open to learning new things and meeting new people.
