Your body already knows the way.
Fascia is the connective tissue that runs through everything, much like water always finds its way through any landscape. When it is loose, hydrated and free, your energy flows. Your thinking clears. Your presence fills the room.
Hans Schokkenbroek works at the intersection of body, breath and identity. He helps high performers release the patterns that keep them stuck, stressed, and performing below their true capacity. Not by pushing harder, but by letting go of what no longer serves.
Rooted in the science of fascia and decades of lived practice, Hans meets each person exactly where they are, and guides them toward a life that feels as good as it looks from the outside.
My Core Services for You
Help regulate stress & release fascia
Guided fascial maneuvers that release the tension your body has been holding onto for years, so your nervous system can finally settle.
Improve well-being, mobility & joy
As fascia unwinds, your range of motion returns, and with it the ease and lightness of simply moving through your day.
Transform to a more authentic, healthier life
Underneath the patterns and armor is a more honest, joyful and healthier version of yourself. This work helps you transform toward authenticity.

You are not a body that has fascia.
You are fascia.
Fascia is the intelligent, gel-like network that runs through every part of you, wrapping your muscles, bones, tendons and organs into one continuous, water-based system. It conducts electricity, holds memory, and carries the stress and emotion your mind has long since moved past. It is the only organ that cannot be surgically removed, and it has its own language, one that fascial maneuver work speaks to directly, releasing what the body has been holding onto.
One Connected Network
Wraps and connects every muscle, bone, tendon and organ into one continuous system.
Stores Memory & Emotion
Holds onto stress and trauma long after the mind has moved on.
Rich in Nerve Endings
Contains a thousand times more sensory nerve endings than the brain itself. Fascia is your brain.
Cannot Be Removed
The only organ that cannot be surgically removed. It has to be released.
The top has started training fascia. Everyone else is still training muscle.
Twenty years ago performance meant strength, conditioning and technique. That is still true, and it is no longer enough. At the highest level the attention has moved to the tissue that connects everything: fascia. Not as wellness, as a performance variable.
In the Netherlands that shift has barely landed. That gap is exactly where I work.
Novak Djokovic does these same maneuvers
Novak Djokovic uses Fascial Maneuvers from Human Garage. During Wimbledon it was there to see, the same specific maneuvers, and the footage is on Instagram and TikTok. And this is not only about rotation. The same tissue wraps your ribcage and your diaphragm, so it decides how deeply you are able to breathe, and it holds the tension your nervous system has been carrying under stress for years. Release it and rotation, breath and stress all move at once. If it is good enough for one of the finest athletes who has ever played, it is good enough for your body too. And you do not need his team for it: these are the same maneuvers I teach, and you perform them yourself.
Fascia is already on the table in the UFC, Premier League, La Liga and Bundesliga
Mads Tömörkènyi has been teaching fascia since 2014, invented QuantumBiomechanics® and founded MT Performance® and LUMÉ, the first circadian gym in the world. He came out of the absolute elite of Danish football and works as a movement coach with fighters in the UFC and with footballers in the Premier League, La Liga and the Bundesliga. He is also the man who publicly endorses my work. His words are further down this page. And in golf it has reached the establishment: Titleist's own Performance Institute teaches connective tissue and fascia work in its Fitness Level 2 certification.
In the Netherlands you still have to go looking
Fascial Maneuvers is the method of Human Garage, taught here by a certified Level 1 coach, from Hilversum and online. Not treatment and not therapy: guided movements you learn to perform yourself, so your body releases the tension it has been holding for years. What the top has done for them, you learn to do yourself.
This is not medical treatment and not a substitute for a doctor. It is coaching, and it works with what your body can already do.

My Core Values
Be Like Water
Transparent, clear and trustworthy. Life-giving and flexible, taking on any form it meets. Patient and strong enough to carve through stone, one drop at a time.
Be Authentic
Some of the most authentic people I know have Down Syndrome, including my own son, Jasper. Unfiltered joy, honest reactions, zero pretense. That's the truth I try to live by: stay true to yourself, and let that honesty lead everything you do.
Live in Gratitude & Joy
Move through life with love and respect for everyone, and hold gratitude and joy close in every moment. Focus on what you have, rather than what you lack.
From engineering wells
to engineering wellness.
Hans Schokkenbroek spent the first chapter of his career in the energy industry as a Well Engineer at Shell, before moving into operations, business development, and eventually many years in start-ups. He built a full corporate life. Seemingly happy and successful. And then he started paying attention to what his body was telling him.
Born in Algiers on 4 January 1964, he traveled the world and lived in many countries along the way: Algeria, Turkey, Portugal, Indonesia, the Philippines, Malaysia, Gabon, Tunisia, Djibouti, Vietnam and Scotland.
He is married to Barbara and has one son, Jasper, who is literally his jasper stone. Jasper has Down Syndrome. He loves life, especially eating, swimming, listening to music, and playing golf (handicap 18).
Hans and Barbara lost their first child, Daphne, after a week. It remains by far the most traumatic moment of his life, and yet he is grateful for the lessons it brought. It was the first time he truly appreciated what matters most: health and joy, for himself and all the people he loves. When the unresolved trauma of that loss finally came out of his body, he became more aware, and was slowly and steadily guided toward his purpose: to help balance the Sacred Waters of Mother Earth.
Through a few very hard life lessons, I became aware that I have a purpose, and when I finally started listening, many teachers showed up to help me find my medicine and to start being authentic.
He is especially grateful that Grandmother Medicine Song, a Hopi Elder, showed up in his life to teach him some of the Hopi tribal traditions.
Together with Pieter, Hans runs Dragonfly, helping people transform themselves by balancing inner and outer living and working spaces: inner, finding and releasing the deepest traumas, and outer, technologies for water, sound, energy and light that create living and working spaces to keep healthy people healthy and help sick people recover faster.
His inquiry led him deep into the science of fascia, the connective tissue that holds everything together and carries everything we haven't yet released. He trained in Fascial Maneuver techniques under Human Garage and earned his certification as a Level 1 Fascial Maneuver Coach in March 2026. Today the Dragonfly Healing Centre in Hilversum is his base, but Hans goes wherever his clients call him. Becoming a certified Fascial Maneuvers Coach sits at the centre of this work to help people heal and transform themselves.
Thirty minutes, no obligation. If it is not the right fit, I will tell you honestly.
Built for people who perform under pressure
These are the people I work with most, but this work isn't limited to a title or a scoreboard. If you're ready to transform physically, emotionally, spiritually or mentally, you're in the right place.
Top Athletes & Teams
Strength and conditioning is no longer where the difference is made. Fascia decides how force travels through your body, how fast you recover, and how much rotation you have without fighting for it. You learn to release that tension yourself, so form holds week after week instead of peaking once.
Executives & Leaders
High-stakes decisions and long hours take a physical toll long before it shows up as burnout. A looser body means a clearer, calmer mind under pressure.
Golfers
Golf is a lifelong, asymmetrical rotational sport, and the body pays for it one-sidedly. Fascial Maneuvers restore rotation, protect the lower back, and keep you swinging for decades, not just a few seasons.

My work with Hans has been truly interesting. Hans shares a unique wisdom about the human body and the energy that connects us all. After all, this is the essence of healing, so my new journey with Hans has been a great experience, and I'm looking forward to many more!

After
I've been following Human Garage for a while and was absolutely thrilled to find Hans offering Fascia Maneuvers in the Netherlands. On my way to Hans I was thinking about how difficult letting go often is, but once on the treatment table that thought quickly gave way to a feeling of effortless relief. With his support and the specific fascia work, I literally felt a heavy weight fall from my shoulders and legs. It taught me that you don't have to force yourself to let go of everything to still experience a deep, liberating calm in your whole being. After two sessions with Hans, I am highly satisfied with his work.

CFO at Xillio · Fascial Maneuvers sessions, Hilversum
I came to Hans while I was dealing with burnout and looking for a way to regain a sense of balance, both physically and mentally. In my role as CFO I am used to a demanding environment with a high level of responsibility, and I had reached a point where the impact of that pressure was becoming increasingly difficult to manage.
What I appreciated most was that the sessions were not about a quick fix. Gradually, I started to notice a real difference in how I felt. The tension reduced, I felt more relaxed, and most importantly, my burnout became much more manageable. It helped me reconnect with my body and recognise signals of stress earlier, rather than simply continuing to push through them.
Hans has a very grounded and attentive approach. He listens carefully, adjusts the session to what is needed, and creates an environment where you can truly slow down and let go of tension. For someone who is normally very focused on performance, responsibilities and results, that was particularly valuable.
I would certainly recommend him to anyone experiencing prolonged stress, tension or burnout.

Chronic pain after a car accident · Fascial Maneuvers sessions, Hilversum
I have lived with severe chronic pain for a long time, from a car accident and bottled-up trauma. I walked into the Dragonfly Healing Centre without an appointment and met Hans. He saw right away that I was carrying quite a bit with me. He said, come by tomorrow, I will cancel my golf appointment, so he could get to work before I went on holiday.
We did fascia work. It was very confronting. A lot of pain, the accident, the trauma, and a lot came loose. Later, on the Mechow sound system, it went into overdrive and a huge amount of stored energy released. That gave me an enormous amount of space.
I notice a big improvement in the pain in my legs, and my sleep is genuinely better, especially at night. I am pleasantly surprised. It all happens on its own, nothing is forced, but a tremendous amount happens. I am very grateful that I went.

Hans gives you such a warm welcome, you feel safe from the very first moment. He reads exactly what your body needs and always works in the right order, using words that guide you to truly let go. Being held steady, combined with the sound system he works with, helps you go so much deeper. Afterward there's real lightness in my body, more joy, it just feels so much better.
Sanne, HilversumB. Kikkert
Fascial Maneuvers session at the Dragonfly Healing Centre, Hilversum
I am highly cognitively developed and clever, but I kept running into things I couldn't solve in my mind. What gave me confidence was the conversation beforehand with Hans, it made me feel safe enough to go ahead with the fascia release. I still don't quite understand what exactly happened during the release, but at one point, when he held me in a certain position, I cried enormously. Something quite big was set free there. That evening I looked in the mirror and in a flash noticed I looked different. Fresher, younger even! Now I have more energy, I feel lighter, less worried, less anxious and more relaxed. Those are the things I noticed.

Before you book, you probably want to know this.
What actually happens in a session?
Every session starts with a fascia assessment, so Hans can see and feel where you are holding tension before anything else happens. From there it is guided, hands-on fascial maneuver work, followed by a personalised home practice you take with you. Nothing generic. It is built around your body, that session.
I am not flexible or "into" bodywork. Is this still for me?
Yes. Most of the people Hans works with are high performers who have never done bodywork before, not yoga teachers. You do not need to be flexible, calm or experienced to start. You just need tension somewhere that is getting in your way.
Do I need to be in Hilversum, or can this be done online?
Both work. Every session, including the Single Session and the Fascia Reset, is available in person at the Dragonfly Healing Centre in Hilversum or online. Choose whichever fits your life right now.
How is this different from massage or physiotherapy?
Massage and physio mostly work with symptoms: the sore spot, the tight muscle, the injury. Fascial Maneuvers work at the root, in the fascial network that holds your whole body's patterns. That is why the effects tend to last, rather than needing another session next week for the same tight shoulder.
What if this is not the right fit for me?
Every program starts with a free 30-minute discovery call, no obligation. If Hans does not think this is the right fit for you, he will tell you honestly, before you spend anything. That is also why there is a 100% money-back guarantee behind the work itself.
I lead a team, not just myself. Can you still help?
Yes, that is what Corporate Vitality is for. Half-day and full-day workshops, a 45-minute Stress Reset format for busy teams, a fascia and vitality audit for teams, and ongoing coaching for organisations. Available anywhere. Get in touch and Hans will build a quote around your team.
Let's talk.
