Annelies Declerck: who am I?

‘Healing comes from being lovingly present to what is.’

After graduating in Japanese Studies at the Catholic University of Leuven, I lived in Japan for 5 years. I continued my study of the Japanese language and finished my Master in Comparative Culture at Sophia University in Tokyo.  I was steeped in the culture, the language, the food, the lifestyle… and that’s how I first came into contact with shiatsu, Japanese pressure point massage: at the source. This first acquaintance grew into a passion and the introduction to Eastern philosophy opened the gateway to other holistic healing methods. The first stone had been laid on my path to conscious development and growth.

Besides shiatsu, meditation, systemic work, dream coaching, live the connection, kundalini yoga and shamanism are now the pillars in the centre for healing IYASHI that I birthed together with my husband, Ronny Massa in 2002. We also have 4 kids!

Today, the call of my soul brings me to the archetypes of mother, of priestess, of yogi and of shaman… inspiring me to guide people on their path.

My quality is: to be present with you in my heart and from there to make space for the earthly and the heavenly. To see, hear and feel what is needed for transformation and integration. This gives you an impulse in the themes you encounter or what you are struggling with in order to continue on your own path. We always focus on your desire and intention, and on the potential that lies ahead. Blocks that are in the way (in the form of trauma, ancestral themes, inner child pieces,…) can be healed and integrated.
