From Technique to True Mastery
An 8-day advanced training for experienced massage therapists. Work with more clarity, flow and intuitive confidence.
You already know the techniques, but you feel there’s more
You’ve trained hard, you’ve built experience and you know how to give a “good” massage. And yet, something feels incomplete.
Maybe you notice you fall back into routines. Maybe you feel your hands know more than you consciously allow.
Maybe you long for more flow, more confidence, more presence. Without losing professionalism.
This training is for therapists who sense that mastery isn’t about learning more techniques, but about learning how to listen, choose, and respond. Moment by moment, body by body.
Intuitive Toolbox is not a fixed protocol, it’s a framework.
You’ll learn how to combine Deep Tissue, Thai Massage, Rocking, Breathwork and Chi Nei Tsang into one coherent, personal way of working.
Not by memorising sequences, but by understanding why, when and how to choose what you do.
What sets this training apart:
✔ Fully hands-on & experiential, learning through doing
✔ Strong focus on flow, transitions & session architecture
✔ Small group (max. 12 participants) for real feedback
✔ Clear explanations and space for intuition
✔ Attention to posture, breath, tempo, nervous system & presence
You’ll leave with a toolbox that feels yours. Refined, embodied and reliable.
What is Intuitive Toolbox?
After these 8 days, you will…
✔ Work with more ease and confidence, even in complex bodies
✔ Create sessions that feel coherent, flowing and deeply effective
✔ Sense what a body needs and trust yourself to respond
✔ Transition smoothly between techniques without breaking presence
✔ Feel less physical strain and more longevity in your work
✔ Show up as a therapist who leads with clarity and sensitivity

What people are saying
-
I’ve been a massage therapist for more than 17 years and have taken many courses in different countries. When I heard about Intuitive Toolbox, I first wanted to receive a massage from Michiel to see if there was still something new I could learn. I’m so happy I joined this training. Not only did I learn a lot of new techniques, but Michiel is also one of the best teachers I’ve encountered. All participants already had experience in massage, and he made sure to keep a great flow throughout the course. If you’re doubting whether to do this workshop or not—just do it. You’ll enrich your massage and your skills. Thank you so much, Michiel, for sharing your knowledge, posture tips, and experience. I will definitely follow more courses.
