Welcome to the Website for

Inner Fire Works

If you are completely new to Inner Fire Works, or if you heard about us through a friend, we hope that this site will help answer your questions about who we are and what we offer.

Shiatsu Practice

Paulus and I both offer Shiatsu treatments in the classical Japanese style, on a futon on the ground. We can also offer treatments on a massage chair. Shiatsu is a very effective treatment modality for complaints involving pain or poor circulation. We are members of the NVST, and our treatments are covered by most insurance companies. Treatments are possible in the daytime, in the evening, and also on the weekend.

Energy Healing and Self Discovery

I also offer energy healing, separately or in combination with a Shiatsu treatment. These treatments are focused on releasing physical, emotional and spiritual blockages. As an intuitive healer and channel, I frequently work with past lives and Spirit Guides, and integrate techniques from Reiki, Cranio Sacral Therapy, Resonance Repatterning, and Family Constellation work, as well as Bach Remedies, essential oils, etc. Instruments from Eagle Research can also be used during an energy treatment, and occasionally I have extras of these to sell.

Bed and Breakfast

Guests are welcome at our home and can spend the night in our practice room. We offer totally organic meals, a hot tub in a large, private garden, and the option for Shiatsu or Energy Healing treatments. Pets and wheelchairs can probably be accommodated, depending on the individual situation. Occaisonally, guests are also welcome for the evening when we have arranged a house concert in our living room or in the garden.

Klussenbedrijf (which translates more or less as a handyman service)

Paulus is available for all sorts of projects in the home or garden, from replacing glass in a window to installing a complete new kitchen. He works as much as possible with eco-friendly products. His favorite projects involve painting and woodwork, such as refinishing wood floors or wooden furniture. He is registered with the VLOK as "Paulus de Kluskabouter" which won't mean anything to most people outside of the Netherlands... (Paulus the Boskabouter, or wood gnome, was a well-known TV cartoon character here some years ago...)

Translation Service

I offer translation services from Dutch to English, and also editing of English-language text. My Dutch is not perfect (as you will see in these webpages) but my English writing skills were developed in a household of English Phd's and professors.
