1:1 Somatic bodywork sessions @ilanlevmethod

🤍Book your spot via link in bio or DM.

♡Alleviates pain and discomfort caused by physical, emotional and energetic blockages in the body. ♡Through gentle movements of the limbs, we clear and open up pathways, releasing tension towards the muscles and deeper organs.
♡This results in a state of relaxation and alert awareness, making you feel both lighter and more energized.

Sessions are customized to suit your needs - the treatment always meets you where you're at.

During sessions, we discuss together how you're thinking/feeling, where is your body today (good question, right?), briefly tapping into physical, emotional, and mental states. You lie down on the table, and we progressively explore your movement capabilities, identifying any blockages, and working on helping your body overcome tensions found along the way.

The body responds to these movement patterns quite immediately. We are made for moving, for thinking/feeling movement as organic, "easy", effortless. This initiates a unique and transformative journey of self-discovery, in turn providing an intensive learning and deep healing process.

With our hands we are constantly doing, directing, holding, adjusting, controlling. We use them to interact with the world and make things happen.

So what happens when you let someone else hold your hand?

Letting another person guide your hand can feel surprisingly vulnerable. You’re giving up a little bit (or a lot) of control and allowing movement to happen without you having to initiate or figure it out.

In bodywork, this can become a doorway into trust, surrender and awareness — feeling what happens when you don’t have to do, but can simply receive and let the rest of your body respond.

[Besides inducing vibration and movement through contact which translates in opening up, bringing deep presence and listening , registering new patterns, clearing the mind, going back to your senses, refreshing the system with new energy, allowing for a whole lot of playfulness to be awakened, and more. But that’s for another couple of stories]

•Your greatest strength•

Lots of body practice during summer in no particular order.

Group classes in many beautiful places (literally 7)
Got to train with dad. My sisters and I joined my mum’s outdoor (by the sea!!) workout club how cute can it get.

I discovered my hips fly like butterflies since I no longer dance professionally - I think they might have finally released some of the pressure and dust - thank you #ilanlevmethod.

I finally took classical Pilates classes and visited new spaces @estudiopilatesbenalmadena . Worked a lot. Everywhere.

More practice with friends hanging in torture beds and others visiting me from far joining my classes <3

Felt the kindness and spark of many people ready to make your day a little lighter, at least more fun.

Regular clients on the table (look at Louis, his glow after treatment is always present and we’ve been working together already for 4+ years✨)

Privates at my fav gym @wearequeergym [Dm if you’re interested!] and special 1:1 ILM bodywork sessions at home.

And lastly, a somatic movement event by the (Dutch) beach @therapiehuiszandvoort @continuumdiaries - I guess it’s still a beach !! With a lovely group of involved, strong and present humans. Thank you!!

That was a great closure to a summer full of body practice🪽 by @te.bodypractice

Teaching at @wearequeergym has given me a place to grow, learn, move, and just be. It doesn’t matter how I arrive I can always be myself. I hope for more spaces like this in the movement-fitness-wellness industry. I wish for more people to count on a safe place when it comes to a practice-training-healing setting.

From training at the gym, dancing in the club, or at my own bodywork sessions, I’ve found the queer community committed to generate and transform spaces for every-body to thrive. I’m proud to be a part of it. And through these values is how I try to drive my practice too.

This time at Het Meterhuisje in Westerpark we hosted a pop-up during Amsterdam @worldpride2026 . Along with an exhibition by @prinsdevos , I was happy to teach a Pilates group class and host a sign-making workshop for the @transpridewalk 🩷

Thanks for everything and everyone who joined! by @te.bodypractice

Frieda has been coming for sessions for about three years now. Thank you for your joy, trust and beautiful view of the world.

Here are her words about how she experiences the body-mind-soul work we do together🪽

I feel so lucky to have the chance to accompany people like her - and she’s mother to one of my best friends!! What a gift!!
