The three-year-old daughter had fallen into a lake a few months earlier and had developed a &#8216;disorder&#8217; from being without oxygen for too long. Because of my lifelong fascination with horses, I took her to a riding school to see horses. The horses there &#8216;enchanted&#8217; her. A kind of magic started between the girl and the horses. I had always felt that horses had something magical, but now I had seen it with my own eyes. I decided to follow a training course &#8216;horse coach&#8217; to delve deeper into it. In the meantime the girl has grown up and works as a psychologist with horses in Brazil for children\/adolescents. My own children have also discovered the silent power of horses;-)<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Do you also want to discover this horsepower and work on dealing with stress, burnout, personal growth, career questions\u2026 with horses\/donkeys in a beautiful, natural environment?

Coachees often experience positive changes in various areas such as self-awareness, stress reduction and improving their communication skills. Due to the sensitive nature of horses, which mirror our emotions, participants receive valuable feedback on their behavior and reactions in social situations. This is often experienced as confrontational but also enlightening.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: center;\">Many people find that horse coaching helps them build trust, both in themselves and in others. Horses act as a mirror, making participants aware of their own blockages or patterns. It even works to bring to light and process deep-rooted emotions such as loneliness or sadness.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: center;\">In addition, it is considered very effective for team building, leadership development and dealing with stress. Interaction with horses can also relieve mental tension, which has a calming effect on the participants.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: center;\">If you are interested in experiencing the benefits of horse coaching, you can schedule a session to discover how it works for your personal or professional growth. We start from a life theme or coaching question of your choice.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: center;\">Horse coaching is next to the horse, NOT ON the horse.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">More information about asinotherapy<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: center;\">Donkey assisted therapy, or donkey assisted therapy, is an alternative therapy that uses donkeys to help people cope with mental or physical health issues. The goal is to reduce stress and provide emotional support. The therapy focuses on creating a sense of well-being through touch and the emotional bond that is created between the animal and the person. This bond often promotes emotional healing, especially for people struggling with anxiety or other mental challenges.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: center;\">Donkeys are known for their calm and patient nature, which makes them ideal for therapies that focus on connection, support and reassurance. Interacting with a donkey can help people feel less lonely and gives them the opportunity to process emotions in a safe way.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: center;\">Find out for yourself by taking part in our donkey walks&#8230;<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">More information about the Bertrix location<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: center;\">Bertrix is a commune in the province of Luxembourg, located in the south of Belgium, in the heart of the Ardennes. It is situated about 40 kilometres north of the city of Bouillon and about 20 kilometres east of Neufch\u00e2teau.
