Equine-Assisted Coaching

When was the last time that you received, honest, immediate, straightforward, heartfelt feedback on your thoughts, words and actions?

When was the last time you were able to switch off the inner chatter that holds you back and really embrace the present moment with calmness and serenity?

With the innovative experiential learning method of Equine-Assisted Coaching facilitation, you can safely interact with horses, from the ground, and be gently guided by their intuitive feedback on their perceptions of your behaviour and how adapting your approach could be more beneficial.

How Does It Work?

In order to stay safe and survive horses read situations well, they pick up on energy and instincts and if you’re not being honest or intentional with communicating what you want, they disconnect. 

Horses live in the present and respond in the moment, they are not concerned with what has passed or how someone has behaved.

Horses do not make judgements or criticise our actions, so as humans we can experiment with our interactions within a trusted relationship, without fear or anxiety.

Horses have a finely-tuned energy field therefore you can work with them from the proximity that feels safe for you.

There is no riding involved, all sessions are based on the ground.
No prior horse experience is needed.

Dare to Be Brave

For coaching to be effective something must change in a person’s state and this is usually unconsciously driven by a belief about a behaviour. Social standing (or ego) will challenge one’s willingness to be vulnerable to admit this, to themselves and others.

The way animals help in this regard, is that they do not see status. They only see how they are treated and respond to it

Animals provide us with their own form feedback, they are a good mirror for a person’s behaviour.

Maybe, this needs a bit of courage. Because it means doing things differently than expected.


So, this is not for the ones that want to play safe.
Or are afraid about what others might think of this

As a HEART Equine-Assisted Therapeutic Coach facilitator, I fully honour the horses as perceptive beings and their freedom to choose, when and how to work together, with humans.

My priority is to create a safe space, physically and psychologically, and facilitate the interactions.

Not Ready to Be Brave?.

That’s ok! Maybe one of my other solutions is a better fit for you?

“There is something about the power of horses and being in nature that just shifts people to another space, one where they become more self-aware and connected to themselves and others.”

Benefits

 

Why choose an Equine-Assisted approach?

Equine-Assisted coaching is highly intuitive and deeply connective to our inner thinking and emotions. The interaction with the horses naturally helps you to connect the dots to areas in your lives that we may not have connected as easily before.
This is achieved through shedding accumulated layers of conditioning, expectations, roles and habitual responses and limitations, which keep you small.

Sessions are based on a person-centred approach, enabling each individual to reflect on their experience in their own way.

Equine-Assisted coaching work is a very special and authentic experience facilitated through horses supporting people to free themselves from roles, expectations and limitations by rediscovering and connecting to their Authentic-Self. 

Together, we help you with the session you need, be it reflective or action-orientated.
