Great place to loosen the aching muscles! In this wet country, it is a treat to give yourself this present, the Corpus Rub. In this cozy and warm studio in Oud-Zuid you can enjoy a relaxing massage. They offer a width range of massages from Classic Therapeutic Massage to Hot Stone Massage and even a pregnancy massage. I enjoy the place very much and afterwards I am always mentally refreshed and physical relaxed and a bit tired. The couple that runs this Corpus Rub, recently opened a second place at the Leliegracht in the old centre. It is advisable to make reservations for a good rub job!

Born in Amsterdam, in the now famous P.C. Hooftstraat, I set my first walking steps in the Vondel Park. I came back when I was 20, went away, came back, and repeated that a couple more times. I’ve now been back since 2007, and I live in the center of Amsterdam.
About me
When I was 15 years old, I started a catering service. After my studies, Hotel Management School, I had management positions in the international hospitality world.
Around my 45th, I was forced to see again what my wishes were. I decided that my natural talent was to support others in their development. I became coach for both individuals and teams and that’s what I do with a with a lot of pleasure.
Besides this, I’am a passionate fan of music (all music, but with a special weakness for the Rolling Stones, Miles Davis and jazz), a passionated amateur cook and a faithful visitor of the circus. I love to dine out in the city of Amsterdam.
What Amsterdam means for me!
Amsterdam means freedom, history, bubbling, interesting people, possibilities, challenging, experiencing, trend and friends.

Corpus Rub Massage Studio – In need of a great rub?
Toscanini – Already 30 years the best!
A stylish spacious restaurant with great light, and a lot to see. Very attentive and nice staff, and nice appetizers to feel welcomed. Italian Food, which is very tasteful and original Italian. I love this place, I could easily eat there every week. Which we try to do. The menu has great variety, they have good daily specialties and it’s a bit hassle and dazzle which makes it also an entertaining place. An extra reason to visit: it is on the Lindengracht, just around the corner from the Noordermarkt, in a nice and cosy area, with lots of nice bars around to have a drink before or afterwards (Papeneiland, Finch, de Kat in de Wijngaert). If you go to Toscanini, make a reservation, because it is packed every night! Details about this spot (Show on map).jpg)

Balthazar’s Keuken – Coming back top level!
This former blacksmiths workshop is now Balthazar’s Keuken, a contemporary place, with open kitchen. I experience the absence of a menu card as the best choice ever made. De 3-course dinner menu exists of a platter with small tasty bites, tapas and mezzos (very international). Karin and Alain are the passionate chefs of this very Amsterdam place. The place for foodies and lovers. In the summer with nice weather there is a small terrace on the pavement in front of the Balthazar Kitchen. And continuously keeping up their level of good cooking and nice service!!! Details about this spot (Show on map).jpg)

RED Tournedos en Kreeft – Surf & Turf
A restaurant with a concept and therefore still going strong! With limited options, and chairs to stay in for a long, long time. The location is great. The restaurant is stylish and the food is good. RED, is one of those upcoming Amsterdam restaurants. After opening in 2006, it became an instant hit! They serve just two dishes, no appetizers, a few desserts, and a great French cheese trolley. Lobster or Steak, with great French fries, home made mayonnaise and a salad. The wine list is entertaining and promising, but the staff is focused on selling champagne. Chilled and sizzling, looks nice, and fits RED. One of my monthly favourites! Details about this spot (Show on map).jpg)
