With attention
for your body.

Who am I?

Hi, I'm Sari. I trained as a Mensendieck exercise therapist and I'm the person behind LieverLijf. After completing my studies in Oefentherapie Mensendieck I started working at a practice in the Jordaan, where I have now been working happily for more than three years.

What I love most about this profession? No two days are the same. I see people with very diverse complaints: from neck, shoulder and back pain to arthrosis, chronic pain, sleep problems and neurological complaints such as a herniated disc, sciatica or neuropathy. But also people with posture and movement issues, and older adults who want to regain confidence in their daily movement.

My heart lies with psychosomatics. I have always been fascinated by how the mind and body work together, and how looking there often reveals the real key. In my treatments I work together with the client to identify maintaining factors: what is keeping the complaint alive, and what does your body need to move forward?

One question I hear again and again in practice: "How am I actually supposed to relax? How do I know if it's working?" It's a fair question. For many people, relaxation is something they have unlearned, or never been able to feel properly. Through my massages I want to guide you in that. Not as a luxury, but as support for your body and your mind. Think of it as a gift to yourself.
