Maria De Dauw - Deep Relaxation
Antwerp
At a glance
Maria De Dauw - Deep Relaxation is a bodywork practice at Provinciestraat 17 in Antwerp, offering one-to-one sessions, workshops and professional training in Transformative Energetic Bodywork. The approach treats the body as an interconnected physical, emotional, mental, energetic and spiritual system rather than as a purely mechanical structure.
Sessions can include PSOAS massage, holistic massage, body dearmouring, bonewashing, connective tissue techniques and work with the energetic light field. The practice also offers Sacred Triangle treatments and related forms of conscious bodywork. Each method is presented as part of a broader process of embodiment, integration, self-healing and personal expansion, with the exact focus shaped around the session and the process of the person attending.
The atmosphere is centred on safety, respect, presence and attunement. The work follows the body's rhythm, allowing physical sensations, emotions and subtle energetic experiences to arise without being forced. Physical techniques may be deep and intense, while the stated approach remains attentive to personal boundaries, autonomy and the body's signals. The sessions combine hands-on technique with quiet space holding, focused presence and energetic awareness.
The practice is suited to people exploring body awareness, freedom of movement, grounding and a stronger sense of embodiment. It also welcomes people working through physical or emotional pain, perceived blockages or a desire for greater stability and centredness. The offering is not limited to individual appointments. Guided practice days, introductions, light activations, workshops and training programmes extend the work into group learning and professional development.
Education focuses on conscious bodywork and energetic healing, including PSOAS massage, body dearmouring and bonewashing, work involving the pubic bone and Hara, heart-centred practices, connective tissue techniques and light-field work. Training and workshops are available in Antwerp and elsewhere in Flanders and the Netherlands. The Antwerp location is arranged on the second floor of the building at Provinciestraat 17, 2018 Antwerpen.
