Most bodywork techniques are based on a holistic view of health and believe that it is just as important to treat the mind as it is the body. There is also a necessity to provide relevant information about the literal or experiential meaning of what physical, emotional, mental or spiritual wellbeing is.

“Hi Jelle, I want to thank you for the good treatments which you gave me during the last 16 years. Since we met in Meerssen… I frequently came to your place for treatments and always with success. I find it very annoying that you are living so far away now. Although the last time that I looked you up in Spain was successful too. “For weeks already I was suffering from pain in my hip and my thoughts were: Oh my, this is going to become an operation. But you said: let me work on that. You worked for 2 hours, and hard to believe after two days I could walk around again without any little pain. “I am 71 years and feel great, walked the ‘Van Dam tot Damloop’ and about two weeks ago the ‘Bollentocht Loop’ quite a rough course through the fields lasting 4 hours. Furthermore I play tennis, I play golf and I do aerobics two times a week, which makes me feel completely happy. I continue to think that I owe that to you and how you recommend. You have an incredible knowledge of the body and give very good advice, which I always followed, I have to say though.
Jelle to me you are a wizard and if I am in Spain I will certainly visit you again. Lots of luck and I will continue to think of you. Read more “I am 71 years and feel great”

“Thanks for all you’re help and hard work. If I was to describe my experience with you. I would have to say it was physically,mentally,… emotionally and spiritually freeing. The physical side is that I feel younger and more flexible. Mentally was through our talks and you’re wisdom, emotionally was being able to trust you with my thoughts and feelings and the loving understanding you had, spiritually now I have a total reconnection to myself spiritually. All in all I feel lighter. As if baggage I was carrying in my mind,body and heart has been released. Thank you for your friendship and support.” Read more “emotionally and spiritually freeing”

“After a hernia operation in 1997, it was in 1998 for the first time, I visited Jelle in Amsterdam. I was suffering from severe pain… in my back and there were times that I could hardly walk. Each time Jelle was able to treat me in a way that would enable me to move without pain again. I experienced the treatment not only as useful, but also very pleasant. “Every appointment became a pleasure I looked forward to, a joy for my body and mind. The combination of gentle music, the alternation of light and deeper massages, (you ‘think’ you feel pain; but actually you do not ‘feel’ pain) and conversations varied with silences, made it a relaxing and invigorating session.” Read more “After a hernia operation in 1997”
