The Six Lessons

- Group Summer Workshops 2024

[Pre- Registration Now Open Across Europe, for Group Session]

Do you need to: 

Become more self-confident, self-acknowledging and certain in your life?
Find greater trust in yourself and your intuition? Stop seeking approval and praise from others, and become physically and mentally stronger and happier?

Resolve issues with centering, balancing and control of your horse?
Improve your physical and mental state while riding?
Find a closer connection to your horse?

This course is for you, on the ground.

I offer a combination of coaching using the principles of neuroscience; the Chinese
art of Qi gong to help you ground, center and balance yourself,
and Pilates to help your body in the saddle.  

You will resolve issues with centering, balance and control of your horse, improve
your physical and mental state while riding and find a closer connection with your horse. 

You will also become more self-confident, self-acknowledging and certain,
with greater trust in yourself and your intuition.

You will stop seeking approval and praise from others and physically,
and mentally you will be stronger and happier. 

  • Coaching

    You are the expert in your own life.

    But we all get caught up in our stories and our self beliefs and our mental patterns.

    My job as your coach is to listen deeply to you; to hold up your reflection to yourself, and to use neuroscience to disrupt your patterns by asking the right questions so you can move ahead and then make your new reality.

  • Qi Gong

    This ancient Chinese art teaches breathing, centring and balancing of yourself.

    Through Qi Gong you will learn to not only to calm your mind and focus your attention.

    I will also teach you how to find your center and then to set your boundaries – the two things that make you unshakeable.

  • Pilates

    Unbalanced distribution of the riders’ weight causes confusion and distress to the horse.

    Very often ‘naughtiness’ is just the horse responding to your own involuntary instructions.

    Through Pilates I will identify your imbalances and through exercises we will make you stronger, more supple and more balanced. You will build a deeper bond, both in and out of the saddle.

  • Individual Solutions

    By keeping spaces limited everyone in the course will work to identify and deal with their own individual issues and come up with their own individual solutions and plan of implementation.

    The power of the group is in enhanced communication and learning, creativity, productivity and accountability. We will create a community of like-minded people who will support, encourage and share their different perspectives and knowledge to help each other not only now but into the future.

The course is based on the learnings of the last eighteen years with my horse, A’bientot – better known as “The Sheikh”.
He was the main man, but he wasn’t alone; Humans along the way have been:

Shi Heng Yi, Head Master at the Shaolin Temple Europe, Germany.

Klaus Schoeneich and Gabriele Rachen-Schoeneich of the Zentrum für Anatomisch Richtiges Reiten, Goch Germany.

Why work with me:

  • I’m a certified professional coach and a member of the International Coaching Federation, a peak body of coaching worldwide.

  • I’m a qualified Balanced Body Pilates instructor and have been studying qi gong for many years, with Shi Heng Yi at the Shaolin Temple Europe and more recently under Sifu Yap Bo Chong in Kuala Lumpur, the Lineage Holder of the Yan Shou Gong.

  • I’m an owner, rider and firm believer in the methods of ARR to create the grounded and balanced horse in accordance with classical methods.

    This very particular mix of expertise, experience and love has helped me create this course in order to help other owners who are searching for the same solutions for themselves that have taken me 10 years and more to find.

Groups of more than 6 require a second coach and facilitator.

In Germany & Switzerland this is my colleague Ulrike Heine, also a certified professional coach.

Ulrike is fluent in both English and German so while the courses are held in English Ulrike will be able to assist if conceptual translation is required.

In the UK my colleague Eileen Daly will work with us where the workshop will be hosted at Hollow Farm Equestrian.

Based in Ireland, Eileen is a certified therapist who uses Mindfulness, Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Gestalt techniques in her Art Therapy practice.

She is a fellow student of the Yan Shou Gong and has been working to combine the principles of this authentic qi gong into her therapy practice for the last five years.

It will be our honour to share this part of your journey with you.
