OSTEOPATH

Marike Sala

Background
I am half French and half Dutch, and grew up in France before moving to Amsterdam. I've now lived here happily for 27 years.

Before becoming an osteopath, I worked for fifteen years in both commercial and social organizations. My work consisted primarily of organizing and coordinating, something I excelled at, but which also caused me considerable stress. During that time, I discovered the power of bodywork on my overall well-being: first through massage and then through osteopathy. This realization ultimately inspired a career change. After completing various massage courses, I started my own Thai Yoga Massage practice in 2017. Looking for more depth, I began the six-year osteopathy program at Sutherland College in 2019, which I successfully completed in 2025.

Treatment Style
I am an enthusiastic and empathetic osteopath who works with care and attention. It is important to me that you feel heard and seen. My treatments take place in a calm and safe atmosphere.

What appeals to me about osteopathy is its holistic approach: not only is the complaint itself central, but the entire body is examined to determine the cause and promote recovery. This broad approach perfectly aligns with my approach to health. My goal is to alleviate your complaints and work together towards vitality and a healthy lifestyle.
