Denis.
With a background as a professional dancer, Denis brings the presence of a performer and the touch of a deeply intuitive bodyworker. He danced internationally for over 20 years with renowned companies such as Ballet National de Marseille, English National Ballet, and ICK Dans Amsterdam. This journey gave him a profound understanding of the body; its strength, its limits, and its need for recovery and care.
Denis discovered massage through his own search for reconnection after years of physical intensity. He trained at the ITM Thai Hand Massage Academy in Amsterdam and now offers Thai Yoga Massage, Deep Tissue, Reflexology and Chair Massage.
His sessions are intuitive and attentive, grounded in a strong sense of presence and deep listening. Denis sees each massage as a meeting between two bodies and two stories. He brings a calm, respectful energy and adapts his touch to what your body needs, whether that’s space, depth, stillness or movement.
Fluent in Italian, French, English and Spanish, Denis connects with ease and warmth across cultures. His treatments invite a sense of balance, embodiment, and inner calm.

What people are saying.
“Denis was incredible! His knowledge of the body and detailed style were refreshing. I’m a massage therapist of 15 years and that was one of the best massages I’ve ever had.”
— McKenzie Carter
“I was given a massage voucher. I love massage, especially therapeutic massage. I chose Thai. After the very first session, I noticed changes not only in my body but also in my outlook on life; it felt very positive. Now I'm a regular client of Denis. He has strong and delicate hands and an intuitive understanding of where and how much effort is needed to ensure the client remains in harmony after all the treatments. He is also just a very warm and pleasant person. I wish everyone a therapist as high-level as he is. I'm incredibly grateful to him and the Tension Tamers.”
— Lara Voitsekhovska
“Denis's massage is intuitive and powerful. And in my experience, he's one of the best masseurs I've encountered in years. He works in an inquisitive and thorough manner, and the combination of deep tissue and stretching works incredibly well for my body. You can tell in every movement that Denis, a former dancer, understands the body like no other.”
