Experience a unique, non-verbal path to self-discovery. Our on-location coaching in the Netherlands and Italy helps you build a relationship based on trust, presence, and authentic connection with your horse and yourself.
They do not respond to what you say; they respond to who you are. In their presence, the things you carry without realising, tension, grief, uncertainty, disconnection, become visible. And from there, something can begin to shift.
Horse-human relationship coaching offers a different kind of space. One that does not require you to find the right words. One where the insight comes not from talking, but from being present.

Carrying the weight of past trauma or accidents that keep you from being fully present and relaxed in the saddle or on the ground.
Feeling like you must always be “in control” or “achieving,” leaving no room for true connection.
Your horse is reacting to your internal state, but you aren’t sure how to read the signals or regulate your own energy.
Imagine a relationship where you no longer need to “fix” your horse’s behavior, but instead understand the narrative behind it. A future where you feel stable, clear, and deeply connected, using the horse’s honest reflection to rediscover your own inner clarity.
A small resistance.
A reaction you don’t expect.
A feeling that something isn’t quite right.
You try to adjust — but it keeps coming back.
Because it’s not just about what you’re doing.
It’s about how you’re in it.
That’s where we start.
Each situation is different.
I take the time to understand what is really happening for you and your horse, and adapt the work accordingly — rather than applying fixed methods or categories.
Your horse responds to subtle signals — in your body, your timing, your attention. We work on becoming aware of what you’re communicating without words, and how your horse responds to it.
Tension, frustration, hesitation — they don’t stay hidden.
Instead of pushing through or shutting down, you learn how to stay present and regulate your state while working with your horse.
The need to perform can create pressure — in you and in your horse.
We shift the focus from getting it right to being present, allowing a more natural and responsive interaction to unfold.
Horses respond to clarity.
We explore how you set boundaries, make decisions, and trust your own perception without overcorrecting or second-guessing.
Working with a horse invites a different kind of leadership — not based on control, but on consistency, clarity, and presence.
This changes how your horse responds — and how you experience the relationship.

I started riding horses when I was 11 years old, mainly with a “classical” military-style approach focused on show jumping. I have always believed that the human-horse relationship is fundamental, and in fact, when I was 14 and I was given my first mare, Cristal Marvel, I always tried not only to ride her but also to build a strong bond with her outside the arena.
Unfortunately, at the time I didn’t have the right knowledge, and in Southern Italy horsemanship was barely talked about. In 2020, during the pandemic, I spent time at a ranch to learn how to build a relationship with horses from the ground up. I worked with green young horses and problematic horses, some with saddle issues and even horses that would not allow people to approach them.
Over the years, I have also taken care of my best friends’ horses, and in the photo you can see Storm, a left-brain extrovert who challenged me in the lasts 6 years but also gave me so much satisfaction.
I completed a two-year professional training in Coaching and Counselling at the Academie voor Coaching and Counselling, I work as an Assistant Teacher for first-year students, supporting future coaches and counsellors in their learning process. My specializationof the second year is on Loss, Grief and Trauma I am a registered member of LVSC, the Dutch professional body that upholds ethical standards and professional quality in supervision and coaching.
