ABOUT
A handful of things I did over the years.
1996
PHYSIOTHERAPY
I graduated in 1996 after completing a four-year, practice-focused program that taught me how to diagnose and treat musculoskeletal pain and injuries. The program included medical sciences, independent clinical reasoning, progressive learning, and hands-on internships.

Will & Jill
A website that shows how the energy (calories) in your food relates to physical activity. For example, you can see how long you need to jog or sit to burn the calories in a hamburger. I made it to educate kids on energy intake and energy expenditure.

ANATOMY LINKS
A relational anatomy database that connects all the dots and shows which muscles, bones, nerves, arteries, ligaments, and fascia are connected. The verdict: amazing but very intimidating.

LASER TRAINER
"People with frickin' laser beams," inspired by Dr. Evil. The idea: show clients how their hips move in relation to their knees, i.e., rotation and inward-outward movements. This information can help with recovery from hip, knee, and ankle pain or injuries.

A BETTER HEEL RAISE
Strengthen your ankle in both inward and outward directions, i.e., inversion and eversion. This 3-axis heel raise works more muscles and does so more intensely than a standard heel raise.

MOTION ANATOMY
Motion Anatomy explores anatomy through movement rather than separate systems or regions. It explains how all twelve organ systems work together when we move. Made for anyone interested in improving wellness, whether it’s your job or you just want to feel your best.

J&C SPORTS
1996-2001
After graduating from physiotherapy school, I started my own business under the umbrella of J&C in Amsterdam. Over the next five years, I worked with professional athletes and clients worldwide and learned a hands-on treatment method.
VEEL BETER
2001-2014
Building on that experience, I opened Veel Beter in Almere, the Netherlands, with two colleagues. During this time, I developed a more holistic and effective way to help clients. We franchised our therapy method to physiotherapists and worked with many clients worldwide, including professional athletes, entertainers, and executives.
ESSPIRE
2003-present
After moving to the USA, I established Esspire and continued refining my method. I helped high school, college, and professional athletes, as well as entertainers and executives from the US and abroad.
MLB DBACKS
2007
In 2007, I worked as a manual soft tissue therapist for the Arizona Diamondbacks. That season, we made it to the NLCS, but lost to the Rockies.

FREE INITIAL SCREENING, 4 SIMPLE STEPS
Once you book a session, we’ll send you a form to complete.
We use general, non-clinical HRV testing to estimate your ability to handle stress, strain, or a workout.
A general evaluation helps me understand tissue quality, ROM, strength, coordination, and other important factors.
Once we agree to work together as a team and you commit to yourself, we can begin.
