• Coaching with Horses

In addition to body-oriented therapy and IEMT (Integral Eye Movement Therapy), we now also offer equine-assisted coaching. This makes our range of services even more comprehensive, allowing us to provide the right kind of support for every need. We tailor every treatment to who you are, the challenges you’re facing, and what will best help you get back on track.

Why horse-assisted coaching?

Horses communicate without words. They instinctively sense what you’re feeling and respond honestly to your attitude, behavior, and emotions. According to polyvagal theory, horses are also particularly sensitive to signals of safety and tension in our nervous system. They don’t react to what you say, but to what you project. As a result, they hold up a mirror to you, so to speak—not to judge, but to make you aware of patterns you may not yet see in yourself.

By nature, horses help regulate stress and encourage relaxation, trust, and connection. It is precisely this combination that makes equine-assisted coaching so valuable. You not only gain new insights, but you also truly feel them.

Which type of horse-assisted coaching is right for you?

Coaching near the horse or with the horse? These terms are often used interchangeably, but there is an important difference.

Horse-assisted coaching

In equine-assisted coaching, the emphasis is on slowing down, feeling, and becoming more aware. You don’t have to actively work with the horse. Simply by being present or observing what the horse is doing, surprising insights often emerge. The horse reflects what’s going on in your inner world, and the coach helps you translate these insights into your daily life.

Coaching with Horses

In equine-assisted coaching, you take an active role. Together with the horse, you perform various exercises, such as leading, establishing contact, or setting boundaries. The horse responds immediately to your communication style, body language, and energy. This gives you honest and direct feedback and allows you to experience what works and what doesn’t. You learn by doing, experiencing, and discovering.

Both approaches are valuable and can bring about significant change. Which one suits you best depends on your specific needs and what you’re looking for right now. Sometimes it helps to literally get moving; other times, the greatest change comes from simply standing still.

See for yourself

Are you curious about what equine coaching can do for you? We warmly invite you to experience it for yourself. Often, just one or two sessions can convey more than words ever could. Discover how the power of horses can help you continue to grow with greater peace, confidence, connection, and insight.

COACHING WITH THE HELP OF HORSES

About Our Coaches

Everyone deserves the chance to grow and make the most of life.

I believe that change is always possible. Sometimes it’s not just possible—it’s actually the key to healing and personal growth. Whether you’re an adult stuck in old patterns and beliefs, or a child dealing with trauma—whether internal or caused by your environment—there’s always room to take steps forward and make a change.

In 2007, I graduated from the Goodfield Institute as a Body-Oriented Therapist, specializing in nonverbal micro-signals. Since then, I have completed various advanced training programs. In 2025, I earned my Advanced IEMT Practitioner certification, and I recently completed the Coaching with Horses program. I use all of this knowledge to help you rediscover your authentic self.

Before pursuing my passion for coaching and guiding people, I worked for many years in sales roles at several multinational companies. In addition to learning the entire sales process, I gained a deep understanding of people and their behaviour, as well as valuable insights into different communication styles—knowledge that I now use to guide you even more effectively.

Drawing on my life journey and as the mother of a young daughter, I offer a safe, caring, and non-judgmental space where you can fully be yourself. We’ll take the time to explore your issues, reflect together on what’s going on, and discover possibilities step by step. In this way, I’ll support you in finding your own path to personal growth, healing, and building your resilience.

Daniëlle

Since March 2025, I have been a certified equine coach for children, teenagers, and adults. With more than 15 years of experience with horses, I guide people in an honest and intuitive way.

After a long career in retail, I made a conscious decision to follow my passion: working with horses, people, and outdoors. Since completing my training as a horse coach, I’ve been applying my knowledge and life experience every day.

As a mother of two adult children and drawing on my own life experiences, I offer a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental environment where you can be yourself.
