Alchemy or Touch

Since September 2017 I have been a certified practitioner for Alchemy of Touch treatments. The Alchemy of Touch is a special and meditative form of bodywork. It is a combination of Rebalancing and recent scientific insights. The method was developed by Tapesh Paradiso together with Anouk Hornman.

The method is aimed at releasing blockages in your (myofascial) connective tissue. Recent research shows that our “fascia” plays a crucial role in energy management. The resistance in your meridians is measurable and can be reduced by smooth wave movements (Fluid touch).

Tapesh Paradiso is trained by Osho in Rebalancing. He then further developed this professional technique into a massage form with oil, creating a more fluid, artistic and meditative method. One of the techniques that is used is “Fluid Touch”. In doing so, wavy movements are made, so that energy can vibrate through the body. Thus the fluidity and oxygen flow are improved.

I needed a good massage after stressing days at work and I found Tijs through this site. He's very very kind and very very professional. He took away all my stress with his relaxing Alchemy of Touch massage, he also knew a lot of different dynamic techniques to make my body move in waves. That was a very special experience. He also takes the time and made me feel comfortable. Looking forward to my next treatment with Tijs. Thumbs up! (Joanna S).

Together with Anouk Hornman, he has integrated this method into a wide range of massage and body work, in which a lot of attention is paid to the release of “myofascial energy“. Her contribution as a trauma and stress therapist, focused on synergy between body and mind, has resulted in a total holistic approach, which leads to mental and emotional peace.

One of the most important aspects of Alchemy of Touch is the holistic premise of the interconnectedness of body, mind and spirit. Releasing tension opens subtle energy channels and meridians, allowing the “qi” or life energy to flow more powerfully through the body. The balance between body and mind is restored, which gives a deep sense of harmony and relaxation.

This may sound woolly, but scientific insights form the basis for the method. In addition to knowledge of anatomy, this requires insight into the interaction between our circulatory and nervous systems. Smooth movements such as “Fluid Touch” invite joints, tendons and muscles to create more space. This releases electricity, which is passed on through fluids in the Fascia (the connective tissue). read here more about the Head Band.

  1. A very special massage, quiet, firm, then fluid and in motion. I discovered tensions that I was not aware of. For the last half hour I had the feeling of being on a completely different planet, I felt such a deep peace and relaxation inside. Tijs has magical hands, I can confirm that. An alchemy or touch massage is highly recommended!

  2. Thank you for the fine instilling massage. The combination of different techniques enables Tijs to properly respond and respond to my needs. The alternation of soft, powerful and deep touches provided me with a deep relaxation that I could still feel for days.
    Thanks for the massage

  3. Never had such a wonderful massage! I can recommend this massage to everyone. I felt totally relaxed for days. Silence, delay, cradling are alternated with firm touch. Always with expert attention and involvement. The soul can flow freely - meditative and healing.

  4. Thank you Tijs for the unique experience. I have a different feeling in my body all week. A feeling of calm and soft tingling in my pelvis and my spine. The combination of powerful and soft strokes, kneading, undulating movements and rest made the massage very special. And your warm attention and commitment has moved me.

  5. I experience the massages at Tijs as extremely pleasant and familiar. He helped me to become more familiar with my body again and to feel more confident. Highly recommended, especially the Alchemy or Touch treatments.
