Equi-coaching
Equi-coaching
Gripping events are not necessarily inherently traumatizing. Whether or not an event (or series of events) has traumatizing consequences depends on two things: (1) whether or not we had access to at least one fully safe connection to help us process the events and (2) whether or not we had some form of control over the situation.
Also, each person’s capacity to navigate certain emotions is different from that of someone else and even from one moment in time to another. Any given incident can be shocking and debilitating for one person and be received in a totally different, less impactful way by another.

Equi-coaching Therapy Horse
With my therapy horse, I invite you to make a connection with him and you get to pet him, lead him, feed him, cuddle him. These simple, yet effective exercises help you create agency, initiative and movement, helping you evacuate built-up stress, learned helplessness and regain a concept of gentle control.
In the meantime you and I talk, I help you access inner wisdom by asking the right questions. Encouraged by the power of the horse, you gain confidence and strength to address elements that might be scary to confront all by yourself.
Equi-coaching: Release Trauma
The mere fact that you get your body to move supports and relaxes your nervous system, which in turn supports neuroplasticity through somatic movement to release trauma from your body, and eventually mind and soul.
Note: this elderly, half-blind horse is your wise guide, will treat you with respect and will demand respect in return. We work from the ground, not from horseback.
In order to make a lasting impact to turn your life around, break the trauma bond for good, bring the focus away from them and back to you, and then transform your identity into one that no longer attracts unhealthy dynamics and practice secure attachment, we will be working together in a 12-week program.
I don’t offer stand-alone equi-coaching sessions, but if you wish them to be included, we can integrate them into your made-to-measure program (only if we can book in-person program: equi-coaching is not available online).
At the end of this program you will know, feel and experience everything you need, in order to live a bullet-proof life, where narcissism, manipulation and toxic tactics no longer have a place! Freedom, harmony and personal agency will be your new normal!
