Studio Neshoma
Neshoma is a Yiddish word for the vital life force that lives in the body and is inseparable from it.
The name is a rejection. A rejection of the idea that body, mind, and spirit are separate. This cartesian philosophy has a cost; if the body is separate from the self- the body starts to look like something you have rather than something you are.
Shiatsu starts from a different premise: you are not a machine, and your body has never stopped trying to talk to you.
Shiatsu is reclamation work. When you soften your belly, when you feel your feet on the ground — you're not doing maintenance. You're re-establishing a relationship with yourself that was never supposed to be severed.

What Clients Say
"Can't recommend enough! Paloma, the therapist, is highly skilled, attentive, and emotionally intelligent. And Shiatsu is one of the most holistic and most empathetic bodywork I've ever experienced (and I've been to countless physios, chiropractors, etc.) Studio Neshoma is in a quiet, lovely neighbourhood a stone's throw from Velperpoort Station (accessible by train and bus). Immediately when you enter the studio, you enter a cosy and gentle world. Paloma is very attentive and you begin the session with a detailed discussion over a pot of herbal tea, about your state of mind, emotions, and the complaints on the body. And the massage (for which you stay fully clothed) is extremely skilled, effective, and relaxing. For my complaints Paloma does a stretchy and gentle bodywork which relieves my pain, but I imagine she takes a customised and unique approach to each person. I have severe and chronic back and shoulder pain since many years. Recently, I went with a disc bulge complaint in my lower back which was causing a nerve pinch and after weeks of being in severe pain with trouble walking, I wasn't under any illusions that one session would help. But after Paloma worked on it, the pain slowly melted away. I have had a pain-free week after SO LONG! Truly incredible. By the end of the session, I felt so light in my body and a meditative peace in my head. What I appreciate most is this mind-body-spirit approach, where Paloma is intuitive enough to draw connections, to help you heal. She's very emotionally intelligent and I haven't found any other therapy like this."

"I recently had a Shiatsu session with Paloma and it was completely different from what I expected, in the best possible way. She began by spending time understanding my sleep habits, diet, and any physical or emotional discomforts, which made the experience feel incredibly thoughtful and personalized. During our conversation, I shared that I often wake up between 3–4am. Paloma gently connected this to unresolved grief, specifically the loss of our dog two years ago that I haven’t fully been able to move through. That insight alone felt meaningful. During the session, her touch was so light that I found myself wondering, “Is this really working?” But that night, for the first time in years, I slept straight through without waking up. It was truly remarkable. Paloma has a genuine gift, and I’m so grateful she’s sharing it. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a deeper, more intuitive healing experience."
