While your brain is constantly working overtime during busy periods, your body does most of the work in the background. This allows you to immediately feel if a story is true, to fall in love instantly, and to instinctively know who to trust.

Eric Elbers (1961) studied Dutch law and later Business Administration. After a career in business services, he came into contact about 25 years ago with his later friend and mentor Ted Troost, who introduced him to haptotherapy and how the sense of touch connects our inner and outer worlds. After elite sports, haptotherapy also proved invaluable in the business world.
