Bio Petra van Scherpenseel

My name is Petra van Scherpenseel. The meaning of Petra is 'rock,' symbolizing solidity and reliability. I aim to embody these qualities in my massage practice, OmArm. After working in a corporate setting for 36.5 years, I felt a growing desire for a more meaningful way of living and working. Discovering how a good and attentive massage brought me a sense of peace, I realized that I wanted to share this with others. During a massage, I reconnect with my body and find calmness in my mind. Over the past few years, I have delved deeper into various forms of massage and successfully completed several training programs, including Medical Basic Knowledge (SNRO), with great pleasure and success.

And let me tell you something else: I still can't get enough of it. Currently, I am pursuing the accredited massage therapist training at Esoterra, and I will graduate next year.

Due to my extensive experience in the busy corporate world, I can empathize very well with people in high-stress jobs. I have personally experienced how massage can be a valuable support for individuals dealing with (nearly) burnout. Massage has become my true passion. Creating deep relaxation for others is truly amazing. It allows individuals to reconnect with their bodies and emotions.

Together, we will explore potential underlying causes of pain, stress, or tension. I have also attended various massage workshops abroad, allowing me to provide a customized massage experience. This tailored approach intensifies the experience while aiming for better results. By increasing your awareness of tension in your body and facing it head-on, you can recognize it earlier and learn to relax.
