Paarden coaching sessie met Spike

paarden coaching en shamanisme in amsterdam en haarlem

Spike is een van de paarden die bij Orlando op stal staat en met wie ik ook coach. Vorige week gaf ik samen met hem een mooie coaching sessie. Dit is wat de cliënt me na afloop schreef:

“Na de sessie voelde ik me heel licht toen ik op weg naar huis liep, alsof er letterlijk een zware last van me af was gevallen. En ik was me op een of andere manier ook veel bewuster van mijn omgeving, niet alsof ik op scherp stond, maar veel meer één was geworden met mijn intuïtie. Het is echt bijzonder hoe die onrust en heftigheid van Spike eigenlijk heel erg klopt met de angsten, boosheid en het verdriet die ik heb, maar waar ik me nog niet van bewust was. Doordat ik het nu zo visueel heb dat Spike zo stampte, maar ook het gevoel wat ik kreeg toen hij tussen ons in ging staan, lijkt het ergens ook buiten mij te liggen waardoor ik die emoties meer los kan laten.”

Equine assisted coaching session with Spike

Meet Spike, one of the horses of the same barn as Orlando. We gave a beautiful session together last week. Here is what the client wrote to me afterwards:

“After the session, I felt incredibly light as I walked home, like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders. I also felt much more in tune with my surroundings, as if my intuition had sharpened. It’s remarkable how Spike’s restlessness and intensity mirrored the fears, anger, and sadness I’ve been carrying that I wasn’t aware of. The image of him stomping is so vivid in my mind now. And when he stood between us, it felt like something outside of myself was helping me release those emotions, allowing me to let go just a little more.”

Natural Horsemanship in California

coaching met paarden equine assisted coaching

Throughout August I am in California to further develop in Natural Horsemanship. The basis is to communicate with horses in the language that horses also use with each other. 7 games are central: horses play these games together to determine who the leader is. I use these games during the coaching session, which often gives beautiful insights about themes such as setting boundaries, standing up for yourself, and giving direction (to your own life).

Coaching with horses in Senegal

For 25 years I have been living and working partly in Senegal, West Africa. My son has a Senegalese father and since his birth, the bond with Senegal has become even stronger. I love the people, the culture, the nature, and the spirituality. Me and my son have been to a beautiful place on the ocean where beautiful horses and people live ~ a great place to give horse coach sessions, in combination with yoga. I aim to offer my first retreat in Senegal in 2026.
