Masterclass AquaCare The Netherlands, April 2026
in person @ Kicozo

Learn from the best:
Madeleine Kerkhof, Rhiannon Lewis, Inge Westerlinck and Julia Falkenstein!

The Dutch are known for their expertise in water management. Madeleine and her internationally renowned Team are taking the medicinal use of water in all its diversity 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 stand alone treatment modality, but also when enriched with additions such as clay, essential oils, herbs, hydrolats and more. Water has its own vital energy which is in intimate dialogue with the body’s fluid matrix.

In this unique Masterclass, Madeleine, Inge Westerlinck and Rhiannon Lewis will share their decades of expertise with their characteristic passion.

Madeleine and Team have 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 virtually any treatment plan, even when facilities are limited.
