Recent Testimonials
Don’t take my word for it. See what others say!
“It is 14 years ago now that Jelle Schaegen started treating me for the first time. Because of an untreated broken lumbar vertebra (a fall… in 1975) I was suffering from an unbelievable pain in my back. My tennis arm (overburdened but not by tennis) created years of pain; just like my legs and feet have hurt me a lot.
An orthopaedic surgeon wanted to amputate three toes because I had an inflammation in my forefoot and it is only because of Jelle’s tenacity that I still own them. Because of pain continuously moving from one spot to another, I had to shift my weight all the time while trying to escape from it.” “I visited Jelle’s practice on a regular base until he left for Spain. The first years I would go to him almost every two weeks. Later I could stay away for longer periods of time. The ‘pain’ someone builds up in years, cannot be resolved in just a couple of treatments of course. I am 71 years of age now and was recently playing with my grandson, copying the movements he made, when my son suddenly exclaimed: “Mom, I did not know that you were that flexible.” Well, I am doing fine; but now and then I do miss a ‘large maintenance service’.” Read more “It is 14 years ago”

“As a bodyworker – who had radical massive cancer surgery 15 years ago, I was very pleased to have 8 sessions in close succession form… Jelle. The carpal tunnel syndrome I had, diminishing daily, the right shoulder problem (decades!) going… right knee and right foot ‘Plantar fasciitis’ going… in short – a new body. Jelle has uniquely developed a way to remove the body armouring postulated by Wilhelm Reich. The process is tough but well worth it. My recommendation is to try one session and then if one can see the benefit – to sign up for another 5 to 10 or so – and to complete the course in close succession to obtain the optimum benefit. I am very grateful to have found such a top notch bodyworker as his work has completely transformed my body. Thank you!” Read more “carpal tunnel syndrome”

“When I came to you for the first time, I had that feeling I could not move. Unmovable like a block, physically and psychically. I… was willing though, but just could not make a step. Above that I was not able to connect things in my life: work, happiness, health, my spiritual development. I had all kinds of smaller and larger ailments; one after another. Because of Jelle’s warm-hearted treatments, my body came back to life and started to feel whole and light. Many things went back in organized relation to each other. As ‘desert’, psoas massages made it possible ‘to wag my tail’ again. Doing two years without, I am still profiting on a daily basis and now I notice in the right time, when contracting too much and becoming less movable.” Read more “When I came to you for the first time”
