Since my childhood, I have had a passion with everything to do with horses and riding them. I found this same passion in my training as an osteopath, so it was destined to bring both together. The better a rider is balanced, the better his or her connection can be with the horse, the absolute essential part of working with animals. True to our values we support your growth as a rider, in connection with your horse. We want to connect people with the same passion, no matter their discipline, to create a safe environment to work in and to strive for the perfect bond between horse and rider. As an osteopath, I have a huge interest in how our brain and nervous system control our body. From a holistic approach, we developed a screening, treatment, and trainingsystem to map, strengthen and support our processing unit. If a muscle is not controlled correctly, that muscle cannot do anything. It is our belief that by treating and training our visual-, cognitive- and mental skills, the conditions are created to get the best out of yourself as a rider and therefore your horse. Special attention is needed for every kind of trauma, crash, or concussion, these are the conditions for recurring issues, loss of control in the saddle, injuries of all kinds, … and most important misunderstanding the horses.

As a devoted equestrian, I have always been deeply passionate about the art of dressage. With a lifelong dedication to the equestrian world, I’ve refined my skills both in the saddle and academically. Graduating as a sports physiotherapist, I’ve specialized in enhancing the physical well-being of riders.
My journey in dressage began at a young age, and since then, my dedication to this elegant discipline has only strengthened. Alongside dressage, I’ve also delved into the world of show jumping, gaining valuable experience and insight. Whether it’s perfecting the intricate movements of dressage or mastering the agility required for jumping, my goal remains the same: to optimize riders’ physical capabilities.
With a blend of practical experience and theoretical knowledge, I offer tailored solutions to improve riders’ strength, flexibility, and overall fitness. Through personalized training programs and expert guidance, I strive to empower riders to reach new heights in their equestrian pursuits.

The power of changing your believe system.
Let go of your pain, trauma, drama, by addressing on a subconscious level what stands in your way. A large part of our behavior is unconscious. Often we react to our environment without awareness, on auto-pilot. To some extent this is useful, necessary and offers you safety. It can also get in your way and causes you complaints that seem to last.
You have physical complaints that you can’t seem to get rid of, You react more strongly to a situation than seems appropriate, You get stuck in your private life or work……
This can often be related to your own believe system and the system of your family of origin. Together we investigate what is on an unconsciously level getting in the way.
In an earthly, practical way you gain insight and awareness into the underlying reason for your complaints.
