What is Connected Haarlem?
Independent therapists under one roof
Connected Haarlem is a place on Koppestokstraat where independent therapists have their practice. Each has their own craft and approach, but we share one conviction: Western health care and other approaches strengthen each other. There are five treatment rooms, a studio for yoga, meditation and groups, and a shared room with a long table.
On Sunday 8 November we open our doors. It's an easy way to meet the therapists and their work: in a short session you'll feel what it's like, ask your questions and find out who suits you.
- Short sessions of fifteen to forty-five minutes, one to one or in a group
- From yoga massage, bodywork and breathwork to hypnosis, meditation and conversations about emotions
- Drop in for a cup of tea and to meet the therapists all day, even without booking

How it works
In your name, with a small contribution
1
Choose your sessions
You can book up to two different sessions in advance, so that as many people as possible get to meet a therapist. There are at least 15 minutes between two sessions, to find the next room and catch your breath. On the day you can add more if there's room.
2
A small contribution
A one-to-one session costs €5, a group session €2.50. You pay when you book, with iDEAL. The net proceeds go to a good cause in Haarlem.
3
In your name
You'll get a confirmation by email and a reminder a few days beforehand. Can't make it after all? Cancel until the evening before; you'll get your contribution back and your place becomes available to someone else.
Where the contributions go
Massage voor de Zorg
The net proceeds of the open day go to Massage voor de Zorg, a Haarlem foundation that gives massages to vulnerable people for whom talking is difficult, such as older people with dementia, people with a disability or muscle disease, and people in a hospice. Touch as a pleasant experience: a good fit for a day full of treatments.
Practical
