Equine Assisted Coaching

Horses are herd and prey animals. In nature, horses are dependent on one another and the herd to survive. Horses continuously scan their surroundings for potential danger and the other herd members for emotional state, tension and other signals. Equine assisted coaching involves the use of this natural behaviour. The horse reflects your body language, posture, mood and emotions.

As an equine assisted coach, I will guide and translate what the horse reflects. The horse’s responses make you more aware of your own thoughts and feelings, without any judgement or prejudice. 

Horses simply respond to what they sense and feel. The result of this reflective behaviour is an honest confrontation with yourself, enabling us to quickly grasp the essence of your challenge.

Equine-assisted coaching is an awareness process that offers insight into the thoughts and feelings that you carry in your heart.

I will conclude the coaching session with insights from the session that help you take steps in change that lead towards your desired change in life.

Shamanism

Shamanism is one of the oldest spiritual traditions in the world. It has its origins in indigenous cultures in North and South America, Siberia, Asia, and elsewhere. Although the forms differ, they all share one core belief: everything in life is animated and interconnected. People, animals, plants, stones, the wind, and the stars are all part of the same living web.

The shaman acts as a bridge between the visible and invisible worlds. Through rituals, trance, drumming, or meditation, the shaman connects with spiritual forces, guides, or nature to bring healing, insight, and balance: it is about connecting directly with yourself, the earth, and the greater whole.

In addition to being an equine assisted coach and shamanic practitioner, I am a certified and experienced Kundalini yoga teacher. I can give you valuable Kundalini yoga tools that help you in the coaching process.

Kundalini Yoga is the yoga of consciousness. Known for its transformative effects, it strengthens the nervous system through its particular combinations of exercises. It is a holistic practice that includes physical movement in yoga postures,  breath techniques, sound, mantra, and meditation. 

The Journey

Each coaching journey starts with a 1-hour intake where we explore the direction of the coaching process. This is followed by one or more sessions and an evaluation.

The coaching location is in the middle of nature with the horses, 25 minutes west of Amsterdam (easily accessible by public transport). 

Intake and evaluation can also take place in my loft in Amsterdam West.

I hope to meet you and experience magical moments with you and the horses.
