Job Opening: Part-Time Massage Therapist
(Ayurveda Practice) - Amsterdam (ZZP)

Do you give massages that feel grounded, skilled, and truly tailored to the person on the table?
Flow to Balance is a calm, welcoming Ayurveda practice in Amsterdam. We’re looking for a female therapist who delivers high-quality (Ayurvedic) oil massage and is open to working within our Ayurvedic way of care.

Important: Must already have the legal right to work as a freelance (ZZP) therapist in the Netherlands/EU

We can only consider applicants who already have the legal right to work as a freelance (ZZP) therapist in the Netherlands/EU. Unfortunately, we cannot respond to applications without the right work authorization.

What You’ll Do

    • Give warm oil massages with care, presence, and attention to the client’s wellbeing.
      (Abhyanga experience is a bonus, not required.)

    • Do a short 5-minute intake at the start of each session to understand how the client feels (body + mind) and adapt the treatment accordingly.

    • Create a calm, welcoming atmosphere: greet clients, help them settle, listen carefully, and make them feel safe and cared for.

    • Work independently in the practice while following our standards for:

      • Client comfort + warmth (careful draping, one area at a time, client stays covered and warm)

      • Oil management (mindful use so towels/linens stay usable)

      • Clean, professional flow throughout the session

    • Support continuity: after a treatment, help the client plan their next appointment (when appropriate).

What We’re Looking For

Must-haves

  • Minimum 3–4 years hands-on massage experience (or clearly equivalent)

  • Comfortable with oil massage

  • Warm, calm, professional, reliable

  • Strong communication skills (clear, client-focused, attentive to detail)

  • Fluent in English (basic Dutch is a plus)

  • You have a KVK number (or are willing/able to register)

Big plus

  • Background in anatomy/physiotherapy or strong anatomical knowledge

  • Firm, skilled touch (with sensitivity)

  • Experience with Abhyanga and/or Marma massage

  • You communicate promptly and clearly (structured replies, answers all points)

Schedule options (steady + agreed)

We agree on a steady schedule together: which days and times of the day (including breaks and what feels like a sustainable number of sessions per shift).

It is a part-time job offer, depending on available clinic timeframes it can be for a minimum of 3 client sessions/ week.

At the moment the only available times are in the evening or in the weekend.

What We Offer

  • A calm, professional practice where everything is set up — you focus on giving great treatments.

  • Clear agreements under a freelance (ZZP) contract.

  • Support to learn our way of working (draping, oils, flow, clinic standards).
    We’re not an “institute for teaching,” but you will be guided so you can work confidently within our style.

  • Market-based, competitive payment.

  • Steady schedule on mutually agreed days and timeframes from the available ones.

Important to know (so expectations are realistic):
When you start, it can take some time to build a fully booked agenda. Weekly numbers can fluctuate, while it tends to stabilize over a few months (seasonality plays a role).
