Hello, my name is Wim Stultiens from Belgium ….happy to be an international jury member in Thailand. 🇧🇪🇹🇭
My journey in massage, bodywork and therapy has brought me to many teachers and traditions, eventually taking me into the jungles of Java, Indonesia. There, the wisdom of indigenous people inspired me to look beyond technique and explore bodywork as a dialogue with nature, movement, rhythm and the deeper patterns of the body.
Today, I see myself as a bridge-builder between tradition and innovation, structure and intuition, form and formlessness. My work combines relaxation massage, deep tissue, craniosacral therapy, Asian bodywork and Fusion techniques, alongside the development of my own ZenChair Bodywork.
More recently, I have been exploring the future of touch through Three-Hand Massage Signature Techniques, where I work together with a collaborative robot (Cobot). The Cobot becomes an additional “hand” — not replacing human touch, but expanding its possibilities through new combinations of rhythm, pressure and simultaneous touch.
International massage championships have become an important part of my journey — as a competitor, trainer and judge. For me, judging goes beyond evaluating technique. It is about recognising quality, knowledge, creativity, body mechanics, presence and the unique signature of each therapist.
Some highlights of my competition journey include:
🥇 Gold – World Massage Championship, Eastern Freestyle, 2025
🥈 Silver – European Massage Championship, Asian Category, 2025
🥈 Silver – Nations Massage Tournament, Team Belgium, 2025
🥉 Bronze – Nations Massage Tournament, Wellness 4-Hand, 2025
🥇 Gold – Nations Massage Tournament, Thai Massage, 2024
🥈 Silver – European Massage Championship, Asian Freestyle, 2024
🥉 Bronze – World Massage Championship, Asian Freestyle, 2024
I look forward to meeting the therapists, fellow jury members and organisers in Thailand and sharing our common passion.
From ancestral wisdom to the future of touch — human connection remains at the heart of everything we do.
See you in Thailand! 🇹🇭
