About Eddie Gilpin Massage

At Eddie Gilpin Massage in Amsterdam, we aim to offer you the best possible experience, whether you come in with specific complaints or simply to relax.

You may have questions before booking a session. Below you’ll find answers to the most common ones, so you can feel at ease taking the next step.

Good to know

This work started from a simple idea: when the body relaxes, everything else begins to shift.

At Eddie Gilpin Massage, the focus is on personal attention and working with care. No rushed treatments, no fixed routines, but a session that follows what your body needs in that moment.

Everything is grounded in quality, attention and trust, so you can fully let go and allow your body to recover.

What can I expect during a session

You don’t have to perform or explain everything. We start with a short check-in, after that the focus is on the treatment. You can simply lie down and let your body do the work.

Do I need to talk during the treatment

No. Some people like to share, others prefer silence. Both are completely fine. The session is about what your body needs, not about saying the right things.

Will the treatment be painful

No. The treatment is never about pushing through pain. We work in a way that helps the body release tension without forcing it.

What if I don’t know where my tension is

That’s completely normal. You don’t need to figure it out beforehand. The body often shows where the tension sits once you start to relax.

Will it help with stress or feeling constantly “on”

Yes. Many people come in with a full head and a tense body. As the body relaxes, the system slows down and there is more space to breathe and think clearly again.

How will I feel afterwards

Most people feel more relaxed, lighter and clearer. Sometimes the body needs a bit of time to process, but overall there is a noticeable shift.

What should I wear

Wear something comfortable. During the treatment you will be properly covered, only the area being treated is uncovered.

Is Polarity Massage very different from a regular massage

Yes, it’s more gentle. It focuses on the feet, hands and head, using light touch to help the body settle and release tension. It’s especially helpful if you feel tense or tired without a clear physical cause.

What is a hot stone massage

A hot stone massage uses warm stones to relax the muscles and help the body release tension more easily. The heat allows the body to soften without needing deep pressure.

Are the stones very hot

No. The stones are always kept at a comfortable temperature. Warm enough to relax the body, never too hot.

What does it feel like

Most people experience it as deeply relaxing. The warmth helps the body let go faster, creating a calm and grounded feeling.
