Massage as a Deepening of Your Soundfloating Experience

Discover how massage and Soundfloating can complement each other and help you relax more deeply.

​

At Soundfloating, you can currently choose between two massage practitioners: Josef Rebbe and Nadine Oceanlight. Each has their own background and approach. When booking a massage, you can see at checkout which practitioner is available and, if possible, indicate your preference.

​

A massage can be booked before or after a Soundfloating session, but can also be experienced as a standalone treatment.

​

Before a Soundfloating Session

A massage before Soundfloating can help release physical tension and prepare your body for the session. This can help you feel more relaxed and comfortable as you begin your Soundfloating experience.
 

After a Soundfloating Session

After Soundfloating, your body is often already deeply relaxed from the warm water, the stillness and the sound vibrations. A massage can continue this state of relaxation, giving you space to gently settle back into your body, notice what you are experiencing and relax even further.

 

Massage with Josef Rebbe

My massages draw on a range of massage and bodywork approaches. Depending on what you need and what feels right for you, I combine techniques from Shiatsu, Deep Tissue, De-Armouring, Chi Nei Tsang, Craniosacral Therapy and Energetic Massage, among others.

I always tailor the massage to your body and to what you experience during the session. Your wishes and boundaries are central to the way I work.
 

Massage with Clothes On

For this massage, I use techniques from Japanese Shiatsu. By applying pressure to specific trigger points, the massage aims to support balance in the body and encourage a freer flow of energy.
 

Oil Massage

During an oil massage, you wear only underwear. This massage focuses on deep relaxation through flowing, gliding movements. I also incorporate techniques from Deep Tissue Massage.
 

Intuitive Techniques

In both forms of massage, I may intuitively incorporate techniques from De-Armouring and Chi Nei Tsang, as well as gentler techniques from Craniosacral Therapy and Energetic Massage.

This may include attention to the abdominal and pelvic areas, including the groin and gluteal muscles. These areas can often hold deeper layers of tension, which may contribute to discomfort in the lower back, neck or shoulders.
If you do not feel comfortable with being touched in certain areas, that is absolutely fine. I always take your wishes and boundaries into account.
 

A Network of Specialists

Sometimes you may encounter things that call for additional support. If you wish, I can put you in touch with specialized practitioners from my wider professional network.

Together, we can explore what kind of support might be appropriate for your particular needs or situation. This might include systemic work or trauma therapy, for example, or perhaps a floating or massage session in warm water.
 

About My Background

From 2002 to 2005, I completed my Shiatsu training at CSMBK in The Hague, where I studied with, among others, Yoshinori Miyashita.

Since then, I have gained extensive experience as a massage practitioner and have continued to deepen my knowledge through additional training and modules in De-Armouring, Chi Nei Tsang, Karsai Nei Tsang, Craniosacral Therapy, Energetic Massage and Kashmiri Massage.

Alongside my work as a massage practitioner, I also teach workshops on De-Armouring and massage in warm water.

 

Massage with Nadine Oceanlight

Lomi Lomi

A Hawaiian Bodywork Ritual

Lomi Lomi is a traditional body massage from Hawaii, combining flowing, rhythmic movements with variations in pace and pressure.

Using the hands, forearms and elbows, a continuous flow of movement is created, inviting you to relax more and more deeply. The massage is inspired by the movements and rhythms of the ocean and is experienced as a flowing full-body massage.

​

The Movement of the Ocean

During a Lomi Lomi massage, slow, relaxing movements alternate with stronger and deeper movements. The continuous flow can help you move out of your head and bring your attention more fully into your body.

Within the Hawaiian tradition, intention and prayer also play an important role. These elements are part of the way I practice Lomi Lomi.

​

The Power of the Elements

Lomi Lomi is closely connected with nature and the elements. The massage incorporates different movements and rhythms, from large waves and gentle streams of water to soft rain and swirling currents.

Breathing can also be part of the session. Through the combination of movement, touch and awareness, the massage becomes a ritual that creates space for relaxation and deeper body awareness.

​

“In Lomi Lomi, the rhythm and movements reflect the nature and elements of Hawaii. Because you are also made up of these elements, your body can recognize them and return to its own natural rhythm and relaxation.”

​

De-Armouring

Gentle Body-Oriented Touch

De-Armouring is a body-oriented touch practice that focuses on areas where people may experience tension, sensitivity or protective patterns in the body. Literally, de-armouring means “removing the armour” — softening protective tension that may have built up in the body.

With this approach, I work with gentle touch and pressure, particularly around the heart and abdominal areas. The touch is introduced slowly and adapted to what you experience.

​

Listening to Your Body

Everyone responds differently to touch. Some areas of the body may be more sensitive than others. During a session, nothing is forced. Instead, the focus is on listening to the signals of your body.

You do not need to achieve anything or push through anything. You can simply be present with what you feel and notice how your body responds to the touch.

​

Tender Touch Technique

There are different approaches to De-Armouring. I work with the Tender Touch Technique, a gentle form that I specifically apply to the heart and abdominal areas.

My own experience with this approach has shown me how much difference gentle, attentive touch can make. From this experience, I accompany others with care, calmness and respect for their personal boundaries.

​

“During a De-Armouring session, I listen to your body. Your body shows where and how it wants to be touched. You don't have to do anything — you can simply relax and experience.”
