About

Isabelle

Quiet Touch Massage is a one-person practice in Leiden and surroundings — for women who want more rest, more ease, and less unnecessary fuss around it.

Every appointment is me. My massage foundation is two diplomas at ProCorpo Opleidingsinstituut: Relaxation massage (June 2012) and Indian head massage (August 2012). I supplemented these with workshops at Leiden Spa Massages, including Lomi-Lomi.

In 2020 I completed my bachelor’s in Medicine at Leiden University. I deliberately chose not to pursue the master’s — entrepreneurship suits how I want to work better: with hands, with attention, with the other person right in front of me. Anatomical understanding stays the foundation of my approach.

Since my diploma in 2012 I’ve kept massaging — well over thirteen years of practice, with all kinds of people and bodies. Not always within a formal practice, but with the discipline of someone who takes her hands seriously. Those years sit in how I work today: not one protocol, but always the same calm, preparation, and care.

The story

How Quiet Touch came to be

I’ve loved massage for a long time — not just as something nice, but as something that can genuinely help body and mind recover.

But there was something that kept bothering me. Just when I was finally warm, calm, and relaxed, I had to head home. And that’s where it often went wrong: the cold, rain, rush, or traffic would take that feeling away again. As if my body immediately tensed up once more. Relaxation gone, time invested gone too.

Why should relaxation have to end the moment you walk out the door?

It doesn’t have to. And out of that, Quiet Touch was born: calm, professional massage, simply, at home. For women who want more rest, more ease, and less fuss around it.

At Quiet Touch you stay in your own environment. No rush back outside. No abrupt transition. No loss of rest. No rain, no cold.

Even better — afterwards you can simply stay where you already are. On familiar ground. In warmth. In silence. In your own rhythm.

What that means in practice

Finally being able to step straight into bed after a relaxing massage. Enjoying your own space with a clear head and softened muscles. No transition that undoes the calm.

That’s what I create — through a calm working method, a warm massage table, and attention attuned to what your body asks. The answer that fits being constantly "on", being busy, being a woman, being you.

That’s the promise. That’s the Quiet Touch.

Who Quiet Touch Massage is for

QTM is built for women who need rest and bodily attention in their own familiar environment. A few things characteristic of the practice:

  • One masseur. Every appointment is me. No rotation, no unfamiliar face at the door.
  • At home in Leiden and surroundings. No waiting room, no drive home.
  • Silence as an equal option. No obligation to make conversation.
  • Prepared, consistent atmosphere. Clean hands, an arranged table, soft music, predictable flow.
  • Clear agreements. Fixed prices, clear process, no surprises afterward.
  • A professional practice: relaxation massage and focused attention for neck, shoulders and upper back. Not a medical treatment.

For those looking for something else — sports massage, medical treatment, or anything outside this scope — I'm happy to refer to a more fitting practice.

Hands quietly shaping a small clay vessel — a practice in the making.

QTM is a new practice. I’ve just started, so the first reviews are still coming in. Whoever steps in now gets three things that become less self-evident later: the introductory rate, first pick of my calendar for follow-up appointments (your preferred times stay available while I fill up), and the kind of attention only possible in a small practice — where I remember your preferences, your rhythm, and your history from the first session onward.

But the heart of it sits elsewhere: whoever books now is choosing without a row of others’ experiences to lean on. That’s trust before anyone else has voiced it on your behalf — and that’s not a small thing. My first clients are also, quite literally, the first: the women I’m building this for. That asks a different kind of care from me than someone stepping in once everything is already running.

Honesty seems the right place to start.
