ABOUT
The art of healing is taken to a whole new level! My secret sauce? A fusion of intuition, massage, body-works and the wisdom of martial arts.
Hi! I’m Maxim,
and I've got a knack for massaging that's not your run-of-the-mill experience. Sure, there are countless websites out there, but why to choose me? Because I am not offering just another massage; I’m your ticket to a unique, transformative journey that's all about you - about your body. Your story matters here, and together, we'll create a path to wellness that's uniquely yours.
From pinpointing pressure points to guiding your body toward self-healing. I am your partner in wellness & self-awareness, and together we learn and improve.
Ready to experience the magic of Maxim's Massage? It's time to unleash the power within.
My goal is to give you tools & awareness that you can apply in your daily life, and only go to a masseur as a luxury, not a need.
MY APPROACH
At 16 I obtained my masseur certificate in Siberia, Russia. But only at 23 I started developing my own technique, deeply merged into my martial arts and out-of-body experiences. I understood that just learning a technique and practicing it 20,000 hours does not make you a good healer: not for self; not for others. Of course, you learn how keep it safe, where are the muscles and bones, how to press correctly. You might even know ‘energy massages’.
In fact! One must know the dynamics between the latter, and, foremost, such dynamics in self, others, and adjustments necessary, while giving a massage. I do not say that the usual masseurs cannot release the pressure, or some tension. But YOUR healing goes beyond traditional or available techniques.
Body Awareness
It all begins with awareness and the little tricks to make it grow. Maybe you have a problem with a lower back. Maybe your hand or shoulder started hurting because you lifted something, or stretched. Or maybe your current massaging practice is very incremental. Whatever it is, first, you tell me your story, and I will take it from there with my intuition & skills.
Muscle Healing
I’d love you to never choose a massage as means to ‘fix’ your body, but as means of fun, and care for self & others. My massaging aims to start-up a process of self-healing, by placing your mind where the issue really is; and allowing the energy to flow. By analysing energy flow through your muscles & body structure, I provide a unique advice & exercises that can help you heal.
MY STORY
Hello, I’m Max, and I’d like to take you on a journey into my world, where the realms of healing and sustainability converge to create a unique and transformative path.
My story begins with 26 years of practicing karate, a discipline where we delve into the secrets of pressure points – unlocking their potential for both harm and healing. Yet, my journey took a profound turn at the tender age of four when a near-death out-of-body experience left an indelible mark, connecting me with something greater than myself, forever shaping my perspective on the interconnectedness of life.
In 2008, a two-hour head massage, gifted by a friend, ignited a spark within me. It inspired me to embark on a journey of self-discovery, delving into the art of massage. By 2012, I had introduced a vibrant culture of daily massages at Metabolic, a period intertwined with my efforts in building De Ceuvel, an eco-neighborhood in Amsterdam North.
But there’s more to my story. My voyage brought me to the Netherlands with a mission to understand sustainability, to uncover sustainable solutions, and to identify like-minded global collaborators. An unconventional journey led to unorthodox accomplishments: I became a post-doctoral researcher without a Ph.D. and invented a groundbreaking method for the inclusive and holistic redesign of cities.
Today, I stand at the forefront of sustainable innovation, consulting with businesses and government institutions in the Netherlands. I play an instrumental role in shaping policies and visions for a sustainable transition from local to national scales. My passion is twofold: sustainability and healing. I’ve embarked on a journey in life where I’m eager to share my knowledge, experiences, and visions, but equally keen to learn from you and the world through our interactions and collaborations.
Welcome to my world, where the power of healing meets the future of sustainability. This is the journey I invite you to embark on with me.
