Gestalt (guh-SHTAHLT)

 Gestalt Coaching is grounded in the belief that we are already whole and that we carry our own answers within us. Rather than fixing or diagnosing, Gestalt coaching emphasizes awareness of the present moment. By noticing thoughts, emotions, sensations, and patterns as they arise, we begin to integrate parts of ourselves that may have been overlooked or left unfinished. This integration supports clarity, choice, and a deeper sense of self-trust. In Gestalt coaching, the focus is on experiencing rather than analyzing. Through guided, experiential exploration, clients are supported in becoming more aware of how they relate to themselves, others, and the world around them. Insight emerges not from being told what to do, but from fully meeting one’s own experience. The belief that each person holds their own answers reflects trust in inner wisdom. The role of the coach is to facilitate awareness and presence - creating space for self-discovery rather than offering solutions.

Equine Gestalt Coaching opens awareness through experiential exploration in partnership with horses. This approach offers the same Gestalt-based philosophy, experienced through interaction with a horse. Horses are naturally perceptive and responsive to their environment.

In sessions, the horse is not used or directed, but encountered as a partner in awareness. The client leads the experience, while the coach supports reflection and integration in a non-judgmental, present-moment way. Together, this creates a unique opportunity for self-reflection and insight.

Many people find that simply being with a horse brings a sense of calm, grounding, and nervous system regulation, allowing awareness to unfold naturally.

No horse or riding experience is required. Sessions take place on the ground, with the horse at liberty in the arena, allowing interactions to arise naturally and safely.
