About Me
My name is Romano den Heijer, holistic therapist and founder of Holistic Aruba. Growing up with a mother who is a massage therapist and acupuncturist, I learned at an early age that body, mind, and soul are deeply connected. Over the years, this understanding has shaped both my personal lifestyle and professional path.
Through my daily practice of Qi Gong and my studies in massage therapy, reflexology, cupping, Ayurvedic techniques, and energetic bodywork, I’ve gained a deep appreciation for how the body communicates and how stress, emotion, and patterns influence our well-being.
To expand this foundation, I studied Auriculo, integrating Western, Chinese, and Indian healing systems through ear-acupuncture and pulse diagnostics.
In 2018, I discovered therapeutic sound bowls, which opened a new path of healing and deep relaxation in my work. I completed professional sound bowl training and later assisted in teaching for several years.
As my experience grew, I increasingly saw the role of thoughts, emotions, and inner patterns in physical health. This inspired me to study Holistic Coaching at the Holistic Academy in the Netherlands.
Holistic Aruba brings all these elements together. Bodywork, energy work, sound therapy, and coaching, to help you restore balance, reconnect with yourself, and support your natural capacity to heal.
