Equine-Assisted Coaching, life coaching with the help of horses
Would you like to gain insights in your repeating thoughts and patterns? Maybe the horses can help you to reconnect with your true nature.
Horses are sensitive beings. They are authentic and they live and act in the “now”. They communicate without words. Subtle but clear. Their communication is vital in the wild. Horses are herd animals and may be preyed upon by other animals. For them, poor communication means an unsafe situation.
Horses speak to us and respond to us without words. They pay attention to our body language, our emotions and our energy. This makes them particularly perceptive coaches whilst also providing an emotionally safe environment.
They often know how to get to the bottom of things quickly. They don’t judge and they can hold up a mirror and anticipate us. This mirror can be very beautiful and enlightening and sometimes a bit confrontational . Connecting with a horse always provides insights that can start or expand your journey of self-discovery.
How does a coaching session with horses work?
Equine Assisted Coaching is experience- and solution oriented. Working with horses opens a space for creativity and improvisation. What you experience with the horses can be linked back to your daily life.
A coaching session always takes place alongside the horse. As an Equine Assisted coach, I bring you into appropriate contact with the horse; I observes what is happening and reflect what I perceive. No riding or other horse experience is necessary.
I work with various horses and ponies. All the horses and ponies live in groups, outside in the paddock or meadow as much as possible. This is essential for their mental and physical health.
Who?
I coach people who feel a bit stuck in daily life or bump in to the same challenges on a regular base. Current times require inner balance and I believe that if we reconnect with ourselves we can get acces again to our inner compass which can help us find peace of mind and heart and can guide us through challenging moments and occasions. The horses and me are happy to assist you through this process.
It’s important to mention I am offering Equine Assisted Coaching, not to be mistaken with Equine Assisted Therapy. If you would like to know if EAC is suitable for you. Please get in touch.

Reviews
“I treasure the insights gained. They may seem small but often reverberate big in daily life situations. Many thanks to Diana and all the beloved horses”
“I’ve had little experience with horses… as a child…unhappy cold Saturday morning pony clubs walking endlessly round a field.
I didn’t know what to expect when I had my first session with Diana and Jesse.
Wow, tears started to flow even before entering the field…a flood of emotions cascaded my body as I neared my time to be with this beautiful animal.
Words don’t do justice to the embodiment of peace I got to by the end of that first session.
Diana holds the ‘field’ tenderly and gives the right amount of space to honour my process and supportive nudges when appropriate. I deeply trusted the moment and what unfurled – the hour went by so quickly…I look forward to more and watching my process develop with these amazing beings.
This is ‘Nobel’. And he was my coach today under the expert guidance of Diana. What a fascinating twist this day brought. I’m in ✨WoW ✨of the empathy of nature. Such wisdom this horse brings. And how confronting when he actually turned out to be a mirror (ooh, aha and ouch!). Insights into how I deal with work. With allowing to enjoy my life or not. The meaning and needs of various selves that exist in my head and how I bring them together and make them work together. If they can all do their task, there is quite a strong core team that is there for me every day. And all that just inside me!’
