Helping you move, breathe and heal better — through Eastern medicine, yoga and bodywork.
About me
I'm Marcel van de Vis Heil — acupuncturist, yoga teacher, breathwork facilitator and personal trainer with over 26 years of practice and teaching experience.
My work sits at the intersection of Traditional Chinese Medicine, functional movement and the breath. Whether you come to me for acupuncture, a yoga training or an online course, my aim is always the same: to help you feel more at home in your body.
I teach and treat in Amsterdam and Cabeceiras de Basto, Portugal.
Yoga & Breathwork
I offer in-person intensive trainings in (Yin) Yoga and Breathwork for teachers and serious practitioners. Small groups, deep work, beautiful locations.
Acupuncture & Massage
Treatments rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine — acupuncture, cupping, TuiNa and bamboo massage. Available in Amsterdam and Portugal.
Online Courses
Can't join me in person? I offer short online courses designed to give you solid foundations in the theory behind the practice. Study at your own pace, from anywhere.

What people say
"Marcel is an intuitive healer. Both funny and knowledgeable, he made me feel at ease and trusting. I suffered from numbness in my neck and shoulder from an untreated whiplash accident over 2 years ago, which no longer bothers me thanks to his treatment."
