Introduction
W. Shakespeare
My great love for animals and nature and a sense of connection with them, was present from my early childhood. This love grew into an enormous passion, especially for horses and dogs, animals that I cannot imagine not being part of my life and this since my early childhood.
The beautiful horse that shows itself to be so impressive and powerful, but at the same time so sensitive and fine-strung, fascinated me enormously.
Dogs, big and small, with their unconditional love and sensitivity towards humans, also attracted me a lot and I noticed again and again that this affinity turned out to be mutual. Trying to live in harmony with these beautiful animals became my lifestyle.
My motivation was to give these animals a happy and healthy life. However, with the help of one of my horses, I soon encountered the limitations of the regular treatments. Thanks to her I started to feel and notice things that I had never noticed before, and I absolutely wanted to know more about that. During my career as an airline pilot and flight instructor, I started taking a course in sports massage for horses. Many courses later, in which the main approach is to see the animal as a whole as a starting point (holistic vision), I am now finally active as an energetic osteopath for horses and dogs and have built up years of experience. In my treatments a combination of osteopathy, sports massage, acupressure, homeopathy, bach flower remedies and herbs is possible.
WHAT IS ENERGETIC OSTEOPATHY
As an energetic osteopath I combine different forms of holistic therapies in which the body of the animal is considered as a whole, since the different structures of a body are interconnected and influence each other. It is based on the healing ability of the body that can rebalance itself in a natural way. Through this combined approach I strive for optimal treatment to achieve the best possible result. Of course I always work in consultation with and according to the specific wishes of the owner.
Manual therapy
Manual therapy involves gentle, mild forms of therapy such as osteopathy, sports massage, cranio-sacral therapy, acupressure and acupuncture. It goes without saying that I work with a treatment plan that is specifically adapted to your horse or dog.
Phytotherapy, Homeopathy
I use my knowledge and experience with classical homeopathy and herbalism including gemmotherapy and Bach flower remedies.
Depending on your personal preference, you have the option to request a consultation only for manual therapy or only for homeopathy and / or herbs, or for both forms in combination.
If desired, we can always work in consultation with your vet.
Mijn goal is Cheerful, Happy and Healhty four-legged friends!
