Marianne van der Spek

Marianne van der Spek combines her role within Parkinson Boxing International with her experience as a wellness therapist and specialist in working with people with neurological conditions, including Parkinson’s.

Through Marianne’s Wellness, she works with relaxation massage, sports massage, connective tissue massage and Reiki, with a strong focus on reducing tension, improving mobility and supporting physical and mental well-being.

Within PBI, Marianne brings an important perspective: training is not only about effort and performance, but also about recovery, relaxation, body awareness and understanding the individual.

Her approach is calm, personal and people-focused, helping instructors understand the importance of balancing physical challenge with recovery.

Her philosophy: train the body, respect its signals, and never underestimate the power of recovery and relaxation.
