Hello dear, my name is Juliet Cannegieter, also known as Juliet July, which
is my artist’ s name. In addition to being the founder of LAND OF ADAYA,
I also work as a singer, actress and model. ‘Quite a unique combination’
– I have often heard. Which, yes.. is true
and a very nice one too at that!
At some point I even wanted to become a physiotherapist, but I chose the path of my creative passions. Until many years later I arrived at a point in my life where several of my
creative activities became less prominent. Space was created and an ‘old door’ was opened to me again. It became very clear to me that I needed to focus on massaging in a holistic, healing way.
I remember pretty vividly that since my teenage years, I started to
develop a fascination for the ‘Art of Massage’. In hindsight I think this
interest was sparked after an accident I had during a gymnastics
competition. I endured a lot of tension in my shoulders and neck because of it which then led me to exploring different ways of massaging and releasing this tension.
How did ‘Land Of Adaya'
come about?

I received a message from an acquaintance saying how she had a mystical dream about me.
‘Maybe you’ll find it a bit strange what I am about to say..’ she said, before explaining the dream. Nothing could be further from the truth as the dream was very interesting to me. In her dream I placed my hands on her back. From my hand came golden light which consisted of healing energy and she could somehow see how it was healing her back problems. ‘Coincidentally’, I was giving a lot of massages at that time, just for fun. A good friend of mine always had problems with his Achilles and after I treated him a couple of times, it completely went away. He was astonished. He had suffered from these complaints almost all his life.
After this, and that special dream, I realized that something was happening. I took it
as a sign to take these holistic healing massages more serious and I decided to continue with it so that I could be of service and help more people. It felt like a moment where everything came together perfectly. My years of interest in spirituality, creativity, fascination with massage and the functioning of the body mind connection all started to make sense. I dived deeper by doing a lot research & by studying about different massage techniques, energy healing & meditation through several courses. For months I also followed a personal training from my ‘Sensei’, a Thai woman who also had her own massage salon in Amsterdam. I was fortunate enough to learn ancestorial
information she received from her own family.
After this , I started to give Holistic massages to clients on a regular basis.
This time has allowed me to learn a lot about how tension manifests itself
in the body and how we can release it.
Now is the time to enthusiastically share my learnings and my own vision
with you. And that is how and why ‘Land Of Adaya’ is born.
