What is Mauri massage?
Mauri Massage is a full-body massage with warm oil, characterized by long, rhythmic stroking movements using the forearms and hands, supported by music. This treatment works on various levels and helps you to:
-
Release tension and blockages in the body
-
Gain insights into underlying patterns and emotions
-
Connect with your physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being
We will take sufficient time beforehand for an intake and introduction so that we can determine the right approach together. Afterward, there will be space to gradually "return to yourself" at your own pace. Expect a total duration of about 2½ hours for the full experience.
Cost: €125

Why Mauri
Mauri is more than just a massage — it's a journey inward, a meeting with yourself.
What makes Mauri massage special is that it works on multiple levels: physical, emotional, and spiritual.
For many people, it is primarily a deep, relaxing experience. For others — especially when they come to the table with a specific question or intention — the massage can reach further. Sometimes images, emotions, or memories arise that help to better understand or integrate events from the past, present, or even the future.

Within the Māori tradition, it is said that unresolved experiences and traumas echo through as many as seven generations. Not everything we feel or experience originates in this lifetime alone. Mauri massage helps us to look beyond that limited perspective.
In Māori culture, the word Mauri has a profound and spiritual meaning. It refers to the life energy or vital force that exists within every living being and object. Mauri is seen as the essence of life — the energy that supports the vitality and well-being of all that lives. It is both the spiritual and physical force that animates a person, an object, or even an entire community.
When the Mauri of a person or environment is out of balance, it can lead to illness or stagnation. Restoring Mauri therefore means not only physical healing, but also the restoration of spiritual and emotional energy.
Mauri massage opens the body on an energetic level, allowing relaxation to arise, blockages to release, and new insights to emerge naturally.

About me
My name is Wolf van Lieshout. I was born in Tilburg in 1965 and have been living since 2010 in Egmond-Binnen, a beautiful coastal village in North Holland.
In 2019, I started my inhome practice after completing the three-year MA-URI Healing Arts® training, which concluded with a month-long intensive at the Karetu Marae on New Zealand's North Island. There, I also received my authorization to practice this form of bodywork.
My first encounter with MA-URI came a few years earlier through a Polish friend who had been working with this method for a long time. That first session made a deep impression on me, and from that moment I knew that I wanted to learn and share this work myself.
Alongside my practice, I work as a psychiatric nurse. Since 1999, I have been a student and practitioner within the tradition of the Tibetan Buddhist teacher Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche, and I have been practicing Qi Gong for over twenty years.
In addition, I have taken various tantric courses and trainings, including at the Centrum voor Tantra in Amsterdam.

FAQ
1. Do I have to undress entirely for the massage?
Mauri massage works best when you are completely naked. The long, flowing movements can then be fully experienced, without clothing getting in the way. This also has an energetic effect: being naked means being vulnerable — literally and figuratively — and it is precisely within that vulnerability that great strength can be found.
However, there is never any obligation. If it feels better for you to keep (part of) your underwear on, that's absolutely fine. Before the massage, we take time together to discuss what feels comfortable and safe: which parts of your body may or may not be touched, and where any sensitivities or vulnerabilities lie.
You may also find it reassuring to know that your genitals will always remain covered with a towel, unless we agree otherwise together.
2. How do you work with boundaries and safety?
Safety and trust form the foundation of every session. Before the massage, we always take time to connect and discuss what feels comfortable: which parts of your body may or may not be touched, and whether there are any sensitivities or experiences I should be aware of.
During the massage, I remain continuously attuned to your body language and breathing. You are always in control — you can indicate at any time what feels good or what doesn't. Everything you share is, of course, treated confidentially.
My intention is that you feel completely safe to relax, to feel, and to be present with whatever arises.
I'm quite sensitive to music. Can you tell me how you work with music during the massage?
I have a large playlist of carefully selected music, which is played in random order. Based on the principle of synchronicity, I trust that the songs that come to you are exactly the ones that fit the moment. Many clients later tell me that the music felt "just right" — as if it had been chosen especially for them.
The music is played through high-end audio equipment and thus forms an essential part of the overall experience.
If you prefer to hear natural sounds, very calm music, or complete silence, that's of course entirely fine as well.
What kind of massage oil do you use
I work with a blend of rice oil and organic oil from Purity Herbs, prepared with Icelandic herbal mixtures. I follow the principle: "Don't put anything on your skin that you wouldn't put in your mouth."
What are your opening hours?
Because I still work as a psychiatric nurse alongside my massage practice, I don't have fixed hours of availability. We'll therefore coordinate together to find a time that best fits both of our schedules..
Untill when can I cancel an appointment?
If you cancel on the day of your appointment at least three hours in advance, that's no problem.
Reviews

The session I received from Wolf was a gift — a homecoming on a deeper level, home in my body and in the lifelines I was born into. The music, the hands, and the steady structure of this special style of massage touch deeply! I highly recommend it to anyone seeking deeper (healing) contact with themselves. The touch is offered with great wisdom, love, and reverence. It truly carries a lineage of ancient knowledge that lives in Wolf's hands.

I had a really wonderful massage with Wolf. The room was pleasantly warm, and Wolf took plenty of time to explain what he was going to do and what I might expect. He also asked whether I had any ailments he should take into account. I was given time and privacy to undress and lie down in peace. Beautiful music was playing, and I experienced the massage as very pleasant and deeply relaxing. It's a safe environment where you can truly be yourself and allow your emotions to flow freely if you feel the need. The effects of the massage continued for several days afterward — I felt calmer and more at ease. A massage with Wolf is highly recommended!

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of receiving a truly special and wonderful massage from Wolf. He took plenty of time to explain everything, and was very kind, respectful, and professional. The living room where the massage took place was nicely warmed. The massage was so much more than just a physical experience — it worked throughout my entire being, both physically and emotionally. Afterwards, I was given plenty of time to rest and recover from the deep session. That evening I slept wonderfully, and today I feel so full of energy — I hope I can keep it! The Mauri massage is definitely highly recommended.

This Mauri massage was an inner journey and a profound, unique experience for me. Wolf offers a great sense of warmth, space, and safety. His presence was deeply attuned to body, mind, and soul, creating a pure space in which you can fully surrender to your own inner experience. The intensity of the session was beautifully supported by the music and oil. The quality of the experience far exceeded my expectations.

I regularly visit Wolf for a good conversation and a full Mauri massage. You never know in advance what will happen — sometimes I become so deeply relaxed that I start drifting off during the session and just want to sleep afterward; other times, a great deal of energy is released that I can carry with me for days. What stands out is that I always receive exactly what I need at that moment. When I'm feeling emotionally off-balance, I always go to Wolf. It helps prevent feelings of sadness from turning into depression, for example.
Mauri is so much more than just a physical massage — it's often a deeply spiritual experience, very sensual, and sometimes quite intense. Things often surface that you might not expect: memories, images, dreams... I always take something valuable away from it. And besides that, Wolf's attention and loving touch feel like a warm bath you can completely sink into. The energy in your body starts flowing again, tensions are released, and calmness returns. Thank you!

A Mauri massage by Wolf 🐺 van Lieshout is hard to put into words — and I believe that's exactly the point. It brings me out of my head and into my body. With loving attention, skill, integrity, and full presence, Wolf creates a warm and inviting space in which to relax. As a result, I naturally came into deeper contact with my body, my emotions, and the energetic flow beneath it all. Afterwards, I felt more vitality, positive energy, and a strong sense of trust to follow my deepest knowing and highest potential. Highly recommended!

This massage experience was definitely a special moment. I felt warmth and peace, as if I had entered a place far away from the hustle and bustle of the city. I have had many massages, but this experience was completely different. Wolf is very professional. He seemed to know how to bring me into the ultimate state of relaxation at any moment, as if he could read my body's needs. My muscles began to relax and my head went completely blank. His skills were impressive, I almost forgot my problems and stress, the whole massage process was so powerful and healing. This is more than just a massage, it is an emotional connection and nourishment for body, mind and soul. I sincerely thank him for this wonderful experience. I'm looking forward to my next massage.

An exceptionally nice, friendly form of massage. Wolf helps me to feel where tension and obstacles are, which brings me back into balance🙏. After the massage I drink a lot of water and sleep deeply. After that I feel strong and fresh💃
Esther van Mourik

Over the past few years, I've received several Mauri massages from Wolf. If you want to give yourself a gift, I truly recommend this. Through the massages, I reach a level of relaxation that is deeply profound and healing for me. I experience them as both very grounding and somewhat magical. Images often arise, and I feel deeply connected during and after the sessions. Wolf creates a space filled with presence and attention, where there is great respect for whatever arises within you. You are free to decide what you wish to share, which feels very comforting. It helps me stay close to myself.
Mariëlle Rozemond

Wolf listened with attention and compassion to what I wanted to share before and after the session. I immediately felt at ease with him, which helped me to relax going into the massage and to open myself to touch — something that doesn't always come easily to me. I really enjoyed the massage, which I experienced as careful and deeply attuned to my body. It was as if all my senses were awakened, helping me to get completely out of my head and simply be a body — to feel, fully and freely. Wonderful.
During the massage I wasn't emotional, but afterwards my sadness surfaced, and I was able to cry and laugh, because I felt completely safe with Wolf, who was nonjudgmental and fully present — something I found deeply supportive.
