with Madeleine Kerkhof
a unique opportunity in The Netherlands
June 12-15, 2025
The Dutch are known for their expertise in water management. Madeleine is taking the medicinal use of water to a different level: AquaCare is a complementary modality which can be an extremely valuable addition to any nurse’s, naturopath’s, massage therapist’s or aromatherapist’s practice.
In AquaCare, water in different temperatures and different states – from cold to hot, is utilised as a therapeutical tool to help prevent and treat health issues, and offer relief from symptoms and side effects. Think of fatigue, stress, anxiety, sleeplessness, but also digestive tract problems such as cramps and constipation, and pains – including muscle and joint pains, spasms and neuropathic pains.
There is a whole world of evidence and experience based benefits attached to the sensible use of water as a treatment modality. In this 3,5 day unique Masterclass, Madeleine will share her vast expertise with her characteristic passion. She will explain its working principles and cautions. Sometimes we can benefit further from additions to water, such as a carbonated bath, (epsom) salts, herbs or aromatics, which are discussed and experienced during class.
Madeleine has a special talent to think and work in possibilities rather than problem solving – as long as there is some water available, and she will show you how AquaCare may be fitted into any virtually treatment plan, even when facilities are limited.
