Working with people has always been central to my life, both as an individual, top athlete (hockey), and therapist.

My name is Luc, a musculoskeletal therapist dedicated to providing holistic care that integrates both Western and Eastern techniques. My journey into holistic therapy began with my studies in physiotherapy at Utrecht University of Applied Sciences. Over the years, I have expanded my knowledge and skills through various educational programs, courses, my experiences as a therapist for more than 15 years, as well as my personal inner journey.

Through my personal journey, I have become aware of my own traumas, pain, sorrow, beliefs systems, thoughts patterns, and actions. This inner journey guided me overland from the Netherlands to India & Nepal, where I had the opportunity to deepen and embody my knowledge of yoga philosophy and Buddhism. This experience opened my heart and showed me methods and insights to grow and stand in my own power and live my full potential.

As a former athlete, I understand firsthand the frustration of being sidelined by pain and the transformative power of finding effective solutions. Through my own experiences, I have learned that the balance between your body and mind has a significant impact on your overall well-being and performance. My approach to therapy is rooted in the belief that true healing occurs when we address the interconnectedness of body, mind, and soul.

In India, I had the opportunity to learn to work from a place of love, with the intention to serve, love and care. Over the years, I have been involved in various social/humanitarian projects. This has inspired me to create an open and free practice place for people who do not have Dutch documents and therefore do not have the right to work and receive appropriate medical care in Amsterdam.

With a background in both Western medicine and Eastern traditions, I offer an unique treatment concept of evidence-based techniques and ancient wisdom to promote holistic well-being. In my practice, you can expect a warm and compassionate environment where your well-being is my priority.
