About Me
I’d like to introduce myself.
My name is Danielle Bakker, and I was born in the wonderful city Amsterdam. After wandering from Zeeland, to Het Gooi, I ended up on the charming coast of Marbella.
In 1991 I received my sportsmassage diploma, and it was the start of a bountiful journey. At that time it wasn’t clear to me that this was something that I wanted to do, but when I moved to Zeeland it dawned on me. I realised I wanted to fulfill the potential and started reading into the variety of relaxation massages. This was also the moment when I started my very own practice.
A friend brought me Reconnective Healing® at the beginning of 2007. It was the tipping point at which I realised I wanted to choose how to live my own life. I started to incorporate intuition into my massage style, and use feeling. During this period I followed courses to continue to develop myself, making me an expert on Hotstone massages, Ayurvedic massages and DMT (Deep Massage Technics).
Summer 2014 marked my return to Het Gooi, in which I rebuild my practice with the rekindled passion that I felt like I had lost.
In 5 years I managed to build a steady practice with wonderful guests, for which I am grateful.
It wasn’t long before I realised that I wanted to live out my greatest dream, and move towards the sun. Which is what brings me here, in Spain. Body & Mind Massage combines years of expertise, a true way with the body, a feeling of calmness for the mind, and the intuition of an expert.
