How I met the Légèreté

I was fascinated by horses already when I was a little child. With my mom's horse allergy, horse riding seemed far away for me, but destiny made it so that my cousin Ute started to ride, and I was allowed to go with her. Many horses helped me through difficult transformations like adolescence, and a horse named Princess was my best friend and helped me cope with my father's severe illness. It was only when I quit horse riding that I became anorexic, driven by a profound need to please and succeed, mastering studies and early high-level professional functions together very successfully. Once I reflected on what made my life purposeful and happy as a child, I came back to horses, and my life became much more purposeful, happy, and healthy, transforming my relationship with others and myself. I finally had my first own horse, Dinky, followed by the wonderful chestnut mare named Die Leichtigkeit des Seins - the lightness of being, who inspired me to start this program named Légèreté.

Horses as a co-coach


Horses have an incredible ability to teach us Légèreté, which translates to lightness or ease. This concept encompasses:
Clear and Direct Communication: Horses communicate in subtle, non-verbal ways, teaching us to convey our intentions clearly and effectively without misunderstandings.
Empathetic Leadership: Horses respond best to calm and confident leadership. They teach us the importance of empathy and trust in guiding others.
Intuition in Goal Setting: Horses help us tap into our intuition when setting goals, allowing us to explore our authentic desires and how we want to live.
Balanced Decision-Making: With their non-judgmental presence, horses support us in finding a balanced approach to lifestyle medicine goals, fostering the right mindset to create healthy and happy habits.

Scientific proof

Research has shown that equine-assisted coaching can lead to significant improvements in mental health and personal development. Studies indicate that interaction with horses can reduce stress, improve emotional regulation, and enhance self-awareness. The non-judgmental nature of horses creates a safe space for individuals to explore their emotions and behaviors, facilitating transformative growth.
Incorporating horses as co-coaches in our program brings a unique and powerful dynamic to personal development. Their ability to mirror our emotions and provide immediate, honest feedback makes them exceptional partners in the journey towards self-discovery and holistic well-being.
Through the Légèreté program, we invite you to experience the profound impact that horses can have on your personal growth and overall happiness.
