Curious About The Garden?
An escape from the city, in the city
For women. For slowing down. For connection.
The Attic is a sacred space for women. A place to slow down, to soften, and to come back to yourself.
Here, Annelies welcomes you into the world of Vrouwlief, where being gentle with yourself is not a luxury, but a way of living. Through deeply nourishing massages and intimate circles inspired by the rhythms of nature, she creates a space where you can reconnect with your body, your intuition, and your inner knowing.
Everything here is held with care. Warmth, stillness, herbal rituals, and quiet attention. Like being invited into a living room where nothing is expected, and everything is allowed.
A space to feel. To remember. To come home to yourself.
Why is The Attic exclusively for women?
The Attic is a sacred space created by and for women. Annelies strongly believes in the power of women supporting women, holding space for one another, and healing together, sometimes even across generations. By keeping this space exclusively for women, a deeper sense of safety, openness, and shared understanding naturally arises.
What kind of experiences take place in The Attic?
The Attic hosts Vrouwlief experiences such as deeply nourishing Abhyanga massages and intimate women’s circles. These gatherings are inspired by the rhythms of nature and invite reflection, connection, and inner exploration. It is a space where you are guided back to your body, your intuition, and your own pace.
Can The Attic be booked for private groups?
Yes. The Attic can be reserved for small, private groups of women, whether friends, family, or colleagues. Annelies can facilitate a nature-inspired circle tailored to your group, creating a meaningful and intimate experience of connection and reflection.
What makes the energy of The Attic so special?
Great care is taken to prepare and energetically cleanse the space before each session. Everything, from the atmosphere to the smallest details, is designed to support slowing down, introspection, and reconnection. Many women feel it the moment they enter: the space itself already invites you to soften.
Who is Annelies and what is her approach?
Annelies is the founder of Vrouwlief and has been practicing Abhyanga massage for years. She combines Ayurvedic knowledge with herbal wisdom and a deeply intuitive, feminine approach. Rather than following rigid protocols, she listens, feels, and adapts, helping each woman reconnect with her inner peace and strength in a way that is truly personal.
Is Vrouwlief open to collaborations?
The Attic is fully hosted by Vrouwlief, but Annelies remains open to meaningful collaborations with like-minded women and practitioners. If an initiative contributes to the depth, safety, and intention of this space, it is welcomed with care and consideration.
