18. EU Business News - Q4 2025 Sven Parthie is an experienced massage therapist and life coach whose work focuses on stress management, pain relief, and burnout prevention. In bringing these distinct and yet interconnected areas together, Sven offers something totally unique in this space, and we take a closer look at his offerings across both massage and coaching below, unpacking what makes Sven such an esteemed figure and a deserving recipient of the award for Best Stress Management Coach 2025 (Brussels). Having enjoyed a diverse career that includes working as an aide to a member of the SPD in European Parliament and delivering professional training and management concepts for companies and political organisations in the form of marketing, writing, and other such services, Sven Parthie is no stranger to highpressure environments. When he began studying massage therapy in 2009, Sven found a way to relieve this pressure, with his massages focusing on muscular tensions and trigger-point therapy alike. Addressing some of the most frequent issues people face with their bodies – often stemming from stress, sports, work, and posture – Sven’s services range from back and neck massages to deep tissue massages, sports massages, and trigger point massages, as well as lymph drainage. For those after something less intense, Sven also offers relaxation and facial massages. Rounding out his offerings here are evening massage classes (which are available for a maximum of two people) and massage introductory classes. Of course, comprehensive stress management requires more than just a massage, but it is through the power of massage that Sven discovered a whole new world of possibility when it came to addressing the underlying health issues of his clients – including anxiety, headaches, back pain, and sleeping problems. Realising the effectiveness massage had in these areas, Sven began to train in coaching and psychotherapy, allowing him to combine the physical and mental benefits of massage with the awareness of life coaching. Diving deeper into the coaching aspect of his services, Sven does individual and group coaching/training sessions alike, incorporating self-management, productivity, and communication into these unique and transformative sessions. As his background in massage suggests, Sven’s techniques here are grounded in the rationalemotive behavioural therapy established by Albert Ellis, which span the use of body awareness to respect the individual’s limits and relaxation techniques to reduce their level of stress. “My coaching clients value my resultdriven approach as well as the integral consideration of their physical and mental states. Also, I try to take a holistic view on the base of scientific and evidence-based methods. Some of my clients are specifically looking for a coach who hasn’t adopted a more esoteric world view.” Sven explores this in a number of different ways, most notably through his integrated programmes for migraines/chronic headaches and burnout prevention/stress management respectively. The first of these programmes spans nine sessions (five coaching, four massage – the latter taking place in between the former) as well as a preparatory talk at the start and an evaluation at the end. Clients can expect their migraines and chronic headaches to ease as a result of their stress reducing and their resilience strengthening. In a similar vein, Sven’s burnout and stress management-focused integrated programme delivers sessions in the same manner and at the same frequency, but with the content focusing on supporting those who are on the road to or are recovering from burnout. On this programme, a client may also choose to skip the massages and focus exclusively on the coaching sessions, which help them to learn ways to both set and accept limits and make behavioural changes in order to stop feelings of overwhelm. With burnout having become somewhat of an epidemic over the past few years – driven by increasing digitalisation, the encompassing nature of social media, and an information overflow – the services Sven offers are becoming increasingly important for people looking to preserve their health and wellbeing and enjoy an improved quality of life. The recognition of not just Sven, but these issues more broadly, within these pages is something that motivates this award winner to continue to improve his services. Recognised for both his unique integration of manual therapy and coaching and the quality of his services across this field, Sven Parthie’s holistic approach sees him go above and beyond in the pursuit of improved living for his clients.
