Talia Soldevila also offers Horse Assisted Coaching for families, individuals, couples and adolescents. The horses allow us to clarify where we are. Together we will find ways to solve problems, conflicts and personal doubts. We learn how to know ourselves better and how to use our own resources. Sessions are totally confidential and are held on a weekly basis.
Horse Assisted Coaching is especially effective due to the immediate feedback the horse gives us and clients do not feel judged. Coaching sessions are conducted in much the same way as traditional coaching is led however, by incorporating horses and specifically designed activities, clients are invited and encouraged to find their own answers. Most activities are led on the ground and occasionally horseback riding will be included with the clients’ agreement.
It has been scientifically demonstrated that being with horses causes specific effects on humans:
• Stress level reduction: 12-26
• Articular degeneration: 56-0
• Thymus: 65-0
• Increase in DHEA levels
Horses affect our limbic system causing our heartbeats to synchronise.
Horse Assisted Coaching offers us the opportunity to use metaphors, which are tools of common use in social growth, self-knowledge and learning. By experiential learning the client lives problems that he/she will have to solve alone and by which the Coach invites the client to reflect upon, thus the benefits are that you obtain more in less time as opposed to conventional coaching. We use metaphors in situations that arise during the activities with the horse which are comparable to real-life situations. It provides us tools and strategies we can apply to our lives.
