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.
“Menla is so breathtakingly gorgeous, situated on an indigenous sacred land where its magnetic field is very strong… I have so many beautiful photos of the campus from my hikes at dawn on the property, mostly photos capturing the sunrise and the light rays shimmering iridescently on various aspects of nature. I took almost a thousand photos in my short stay there! Truly breathtaking! Even capturing the miracle of having a doe and her fawns surrounding me just several feet away from me!”
Priscila Espinosa
“Beautiful place, amazing people! I had one of the best massages of my life. What stood out unambiguously at Menla, was that I felt peaceful there.”
Ana M.
“As a residential employee, Menla is a beautiful place to live. Work doesn’t feel like work when surrounded by the natural beauty of upstate New York. The co-workers are all caring and dedicated, and form a community, rather than a workplace. I am grateful to make my home in such an environment of compassion and peace, and to make a living here as well.”
