About ATA
ATA was born from a belief that safe, nurturing touch has the power to restore us.
In a world that asks us to constantly give, massage offers an opportunity to slow down, soften, and return to ourselves. Through therapeutic touch, we can reconnect with our bodies, create space for rest and self-care, and remember that receiving support is not something that needs to be earned.
About Kelle
Hi, I’m Kelle.
Originally from New Zealand and now living in Haarlem with my two daughters, I’ve always been drawn to creating spaces where people feel welcome, nourished, and cared for. For many years I expressed this through food and community, creating places where people could gather and feel at home. Massage has become another extension of that same calling.
My approach is influenced by Thai massage, Swedish deep tissue techniques, Osho-inspired bodywork, and elements of shiatsu and lomi lomi. Rather than following a fixed sequence, each treatment is guided by intuition, presence, and the unique needs of your body in that moment.
I believe that touch is one of our oldest and most fundamental forms of communication. Long before we have words, we are soothed by being held. Yet many of us move through adulthood profoundly touch-deprived.
While massage cannot solve every challenge we face, I believe deeply in its ability to support healing. Safe, respectful touch can help us soften places of tension, reconnect with ourselves, and create the conditions in which the body and nervous system can rest and restore.
Sometimes healing looks like release. Sometimes it looks like relief. Sometimes it is simply the experience of being cared for without expectation.
My hope is that every person who walks through my door, or welcomes me into their home- feels safe, respected, and deeply listened to.
Whether this is your first massage or part of an ongoing self-care practice, thank you for being here.
