Ron van Beek came to the US from the Netherlands in 2008. After working as a mechanic for years, Ron decided he wanted to make a change in his life. With guidance from friends and the universe, and attending an open day at Center for Natural Wellness, School for Massage Therapy (CNW) in Albany in 2011, he decided to become a massage therapist. 16 months later he was a licensed massage therapist.
Combining a variety of massage modalities he learned at CNW including Swedish massage, Shiatsu, Aromatherapy, Polarity, Myofascial Release, Sports massage and Hot Stone massage with energy work from New Paradigm Multi-Dimensional Transformation™ and Energy Diagnostics©, Ron has developed his own unique method of massaging.
“I have never had a more healing, nurtured, opening treatment.” – Wendy Hays
“The 90 minute KuNye with Ron was truly blissful. He immediately created a relaxing space and I left feeling cared for and reacquainted with my whole self. Not to be missed.” – Lisa Hart, Leadership and Transitions Coach
“Ron has a very gentle spirit and that came through in his touch and presence to my body. As a bodyworker myself, I appreciated his thoroughness and depth without pain. The work was extremely therapeutic and healing. I highly recommend Ron and wish I could bring him home to Montana with me. Hands down, the best massage I have ever received. Thank you.” – Crozier
“Ron is an amazing therapist – my first experience with KuNye massage. His touch was compassionate and confident. The addition of Tibetan Bowls deepen the experience with gentle sounds, and offer guidance toward transition.” – Lynda L.
I just returned from an over-night stay at the Menia Retreat Center. During that time, I was very fortunate to have had four services at the beautiful Dewa Spa.All of them were amazing, but I really have to take a few minutes to write about Sarite Sanders who did Craniosacral Therapy and Nicole Bernhardt who provided Extended KuNye Massage.
Both of these women are gifted practitioners who clearly are dedicated to their healing modalities. Sarite is not just a healer but a teacher–a very powerful combination for a true wellness practitioner. She even suggested movement exercises that I could do at home to help with an old injury–one I had not told her about, but that she “felt” as she worked on my body. Both of these women took time to explain what and why they were doing certain things and thus were able to create a very safe environment for healing. Thank you for a truly lovely experience.

Honestly, two of the best massages I’ve ever had.
