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 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.
