Don’t take my word for it. See what others say!
“Connective tissue massage; I had never heard of it before but a good friend of mine introduced me to Jelle. It’s really a big surprise:… Jelle kneads and stretches the tissues around the core of my muscles and tendons especially where they are attached to the bones.
The treatment itself is not always pleasant; though it appeals to me to be really wiling to join what Jelle’s (skillful) hands are doing. But the tension that I almost experience as being “normal” in my body is precisely touched by it and when I’m standing outside again, I feel a great extensive inner relaxation.” Read more “Connective tissue massage”

“Jelle is one of those people who has a genuine gift, an ability to really feel and understand the body. His work is deep and… he’s able to release stress and deeply held trauma in a way I’ve never encountered before. My body has more energy and vitality after a session with Jelle. He gives me more body confidence and flexibility. His work helps me with my IBS and I run further and faster after a session (but not straight away!). I have no hesitation in wholeheartedly recommending him.” Read more “body confidence and flexibility”
David Taylor, February 28, Somerset, UK
Jelle has a very good way of massaging. In contrast to other massages I’ve had, he massages very deep and for a long time. Maybe,… it is better to describe it as a special deep tissue manipulation technique. It will loosen the tissues much better up and already after the first session I got rid of the pain in my shoulder; which had been bothering me for two years and no one else could really do anything about it. But also the rest of my back is completely loose and supple now. It’s also nice that you don’t have to come ten times for a little half an hour, but that he really spends two hours and in that way achieves a lot more. This time, I went to him two times for two hours and he really loosened my body fully up. I hope that Jelle will be back in Amsterdam in time to keep good track of the results achieved.
