Born and raised in the Hudson Valley, I became a nurse in my 50’s after raising 4 musical, talented sons and I truly believe music can heal us and that socialized medicine should be a right in our country. I am a founding member of our community garden in Peekskill, where I was born and raised and still reside. I consider myself an “environmental nut” and believe we need to heal our planet any way we can.
At once analytical, intuitive and compassionate, Korneel uses a mix of modalities to customize his clients’ treatments based on their physical and emotional needs. They have observed time and time again how people have become disconnected from their body, whether through trauma, overwork, or stress, and helps their clients restore balance to their mind-body through therapeutic touch and the resulting down-regulation of their sympathetic nervous system. They care deeply for their clients, which shines through in the calm, comforting, and restful container they creates while working with clients, which in turn allows the clients to release and relax. Born and raised in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, Korneel now calls the Catskills his home, drawn in by the mountains, skies, and nature. They gladly work with everybody that needs their services, and have special affinity for those that have previously experienced trauma, and the LGBTQIA+ population.
Bio:
My approach is to connect with your body’s inherent wisdom through bodywork. With a clinical approach to myofascial release, cupping, abdominal, and neuromuscular modalities, I aim to support your natural dynamic state and reduce pain, discomfort, and restriction. As a native of the Midwest, I moved to the Hudson Valley to live and work in Buddhist retreat. Several years of studying Tibetan Buddhism and Taoism led me to pursue my massage therapy license at the state and national levels. My background of yoga instruction in community clinics and jail settings informs my belief that bodywork is a core component of personal and community health.
