Experiences of participants in the Eponauqest Certification Training

These professional coaches completed the Eponaquest training. Here are their experiences!

In my work with managers and professionals, I notice that this training has changed the way I listen. Whereas I used to listen primarily to the story, I now also listen to what someone doesn't say. I am alert to incongruence, emotions, and what the body reveals. This often leads to very different conversations.

Thanks to this training, I can stand more firmly in my own power.

In the Eponaquest Training, I learned how to break through emotional blockages and how and where to better protect my personal boundaries. I can now stand more firmly in my power, even when things don't go as planned.

I apply these insights not only to my clients, but also to raising my children and in my relationships.

I do this work with a lot of satisfaction.

In the NOW program, I was able to heal from a trauma that I had carried with me since I was a baby. In this program, I learned to communicate more clearly and authentically—at work, with my family, and in my relationship with my partner. I am very grateful to Josselien for her guidance.

Thanks to this experience, I have become motivated to take the Eponaquest training as well. I do the work with great satisfaction.

I found the personal approach particularly valuable.

I was inspired by the way Linda Kohanov wrote about horses in her books. That is why I chose the Eponaquest Training. What I really like about this training is:

personal attention;
the space for your own process;
and the extensive practice in the field.

This provides a good foundation to get started as a coach yourself. I use the tools I have learned daily myself and pass them on to my clients with great pleasure.

This training not only teaches you something, it helps you awaken.

I have completed multiple horse coaching courses, and I can say without hesitation that nothing comes close to the depth and richness of the Eponaquest Training. Eponaquest touches upon something very profound and lasting.

The inner transformation you undergo is worth everything, and I haven't even mentioned the special coaching tools and insights you gain to support your clients. This training doesn't just teach you something; it helps you awaken.

Experiences of participants in the NOW Program

The NOW program has helped me to see and experience who I am. For me, the necessary change does not necessarily lie in learning even more, but in learning to listen to my intuition – however cliché that may sound. In the program, you work with your emotions and the body scan. These help me become aware of what is happening inside me, allowing me to make choices from a place of calm and trust rather than haste and a need for action and control. Figuratively speaking, through the NOW steps, I have rediscovered my wings and my softness (especially towards myself).

marketing specialist

I have felt energy, gained insights into my emotions, learned to understand myself better, and discovered how valuable it is to remain authentic, set boundaries, let go, and sometimes give something away in order to grow personally. The program is structured so beautifully and with such variety. With every season, I feel the transformation within myself. I am accepting who I am more and more and enjoying what tomorrow may bring. In addition, I have had the privilege of meeting incredibly wonderful people. I wish everyone the courage to embark on this special journey. It is a gift to yourself. ❤️

Finance Director

I started the NOW program after an accident. As a result, I had to change a lot in my life and had also lost myself a bit. Through the program, I learned a lot about myself, but also about the people around me and my interactions with them. I received practical information that allowed me to build upon what I learned in the course. Because the workshops were held every three months, spread over a whole year, it was also easy for me to apply what I learned immediately, without falling back into old behavior or feelings. And I would also like to mention the contributions of the horses; they were very special. I am doing much better now!

Beautiful, very beautiful, if working together can take place in the manner of a horse herd. To be able to be part of the herd, it is important to me that I am who I am.

Taking time to feel

“Learning to feel in the exercises with the horse. Experiencing, feeling, and receiving direct feedback. Taking time to feel, staying connected, and then acting!”

— Maartje Loth

First, connection with yourself

Pleasant group size, pleasant relationship between guides and participants, nice outdoor space, and variety in horses. Connection with yourself first, and maintaining that in contact with the other person or the horse.
