Feel. Learn. Transform.
About me and my work
My name is Sheila de Leeuw and I am a somatic bodyworker. My work is rooted in a deep fascination with the body as a gateway to healing and personal transformation.
In the sessions I offer, the body takes center stage. Through touch, breath, movement, verbal guidance, and presence, we work together to discover what is troubling you and the underlying patterns connected to it: creating space for greater freedom, ease, and relaxation in your body and daily life.
The body does not lie. It holds a deep wisdom about what is needed for healing. Lasting change happens when you turn inward, feel what is present, and allow yourself to meet it with awareness and curiosity.
Every process is an adventure, a journey of discovery. Sometimes it is raw, sometimes gentle, but always honest and real. My intention is to create a safe and grounded space where you can meet yourself without expectations or pressure. A space where you can be more authentic and reconnect with your natural sense of freedom, creativity, and aliveness.

The Grinberg method
The Grinberg Method is a structural bodywork approach that teaches you to increase self-awareness through touch, breath and movement. It allows you to work with chronic pain, emotions, trauma, limiting beliefs and counterproductive behaviours by addressing the patterns in the body that hold these experiences in place. The method aims to reduce tension and pain while enhancing focus, energy, presence and personal freedom in everyday life.
Massage therapy
In a massage therapy session, various bodywork techniques are combined to support your physical, emotional and mental well-being. Through the integration of touch, breath and gentle movement, the work helps to ease tension, reduce stress and calm the nervous system. It also supports deeper, more restorative sleep, strengthening your overall well-being.
Footwork
Footwork is an approach that works exclusively on the feet. Drawing from The Grinberg Method and massage therapy, it uses touch and movement to stimulate awareness and release tension throughout the entire body. The feet mirror our overall physical, mental and emotional state, allowing the session to support change far beyond the feet themselves.
This approach is especially suitable for people who prefer not to be touched elsewhere on the body, enjoy foot-based work, or wish to remain fully dressed during the session.

★★★★★
“I’ve been going to Sheila for massage therapy and Grinberg sessions for over two years now. The different sessions with her are always fantastic, deeply healing, and I feel completely at ease. Because of that, I have total trust in her and every time I leave with new insights and a greater sense of acceptance toward my (sometimes painful) body.
It’s been especially wonderful that she helped me start breathing deeper during sessions, which has brought me so much. It almost feels like she can read your body, it’s truly something special.
In short, I wish everyone a Sheila in their life. She truly has golden hands.”
