As a physiotherapist I know that massage can support blood & lymphatic circulation, activation of the parasympathetic nervous system which facilitates relaxation of body and mind, and release of areas of sustained muscle contraction driven by the nervous system (ineffectively called ‘muscle knots’ or ‘trigger points’).

Mobilisation and stretching techniques, moreover, also support activation of the parasympathetic nervous system, increase range of motion in our joints, and reinforces the cultivation of a growing over-all feeling of well-being.

All these techniques, in combination with breathwork and a genuine curiosity about you, the environment in which you live and work, and how you function within it, comprise that broad spectrum of what we call: bodywork.

For if a bodyworker wants to be effective, he/she needs to be knowledgeable and passionate not only about the human body, but at least in a similar amount about the human mind.

Since one’s own mind provides the quickest gateway into gaining knowledge of the human mind in general, I have studied the warp and woof of my own mind extensively (and still do). In addition, I made extensive studies of mythology, religion, wisdom traditions, and psychology, in order to gain more insight into that fantastic and elusive phenomenon we call mind.

By means of this holistic approach, and already having gained much insights into my own light and dark sides respectively, I wish to apply my knowledge, skills, and passion for bodywork, to support you in gaining knowledge and insight into your own body and mind. For the better we know ourselves, the more balanced we can go through life. And the more balanced we can go through life, the more jolly we become.

Hence: Jolly Equilibrium.
