Who I am and what I do

Hi, my name is Erik Stout and I am the face behind Jolly Equilibrium. In my capacity as bodyworker I combine my knowledge and skills as a trained massage and physiotherapist with a sincere interest in you and your story, for it gives me great joy and energy to guide people through the predicaments they present themselves with and find the relief they’re looking for.

Even though I started out my professional life as a graphic designer and semi-professional drummer, after obtaining my BA in physiotherapy in 2016 I began to learn and develop my craft in a yoga and massage studio in Amstelveen, The Netherlands. There I worked with immense pleasure until I departed in 2023 to China for 11 months to learn Tai Chi.

Afterwards the journey led me through big parts of Southeast Asia, Southeast Europe, and Africa (Uganda), where learning Buddhist meditation techniques (Vipassana), journaling, and various volunteering jobs, all became wonderful and precious experiences in the discovery of self – without which no balance can be found.

Therefore, to discover who we are and what we’re about as unique individuals brings relaxation and peace in our entire organism through restoration of balance. That balance is the basis of unbelievable joy, hence:
