ABOUT EQUINEFLOW
|
At EquineFlow our primary focus is to train and certify equine assisted coaches in The EquineFlow Approach for horse guided human development. We are a team of passionate equestrians who help inspired horse people become powerful horse guided human developers who change the world for the better.
EquineFlow was founded in 2010 by Monique Ravesloot. In 2005, Monique was part of a Dutch consultancy group that participated in a corporate leadership training event at a horse farm. The positive effects of the training were unparalleled and Monique vowed to one day bring this work into the mainstream. A few years later, as an expat living in America, Monique left the corporate world. She teamed up with a neuroscientist to develop an equine assisted coaching approach for horse guided human development and began using the approach with clients. |
Focusing on equine-assisted modalities that encourage new patterns of thinking by mapping of new neural pathways, Monique watched her clients develop fresh methods for coping and progressing. The stories they told themselves began to change, their internal dialogue shifting to unprecedented wisdom. With the gentle guidance of the horse, her clients realized that they had personal power and choice, often realizing this for the first time in their lives.
Monique says, “Horses are healing. Nature is healing. Feeling truly understood by someone who has gone through what you went through is intensely healing. If you mix these with research based, intentional neuroplasticity modalities, you get something very powerful. No matter where people are in life; in the boardroom as a C-suite executive, or in the classroom as an 11 year old student; this is something that the world desperately needs right now."
In 2018 people began asking Monique if she would train them in the EquineFlow approach. In 2019 the first 6 Certified EquineFlow Practitioners graduated from the EquineFlow University. During the COVID19 pandemic 13 more students were trained in the approach. In 2023 EquineFlow will add three new EquineFlow universities in Raleigh, NC, Paonia, CO, and in the Netherlands, to accommodate international students. In 2024 EquineFlow will launch a virtual EquineFlow University to facilitate wider flexibility and accessibility in e-learning. Also in 2024 EquineFlow will start quantative research studies to measure the efficacy of the EquineFlow approach.
The EquineFlow Approach helps people amplify agency by learning how to reliably access an integrated part of their mind that excels in strategic thinking, called Omnicognition. When they let inner knowing and power emerge, everything they long for at the core of their being, can become reality. Through developing strategic, adaptive cognitive enhancements, clients successfully address pervasive challenges, both individually and collectively, nationally and globally, both at home and at work.
Within the EquineFlow Approach, facilitators work only on the ground with untethered horses at liberty, primarily in their natural habitats. The approach is client centered, client determined, and permission based. The EquineFlow Approach has successfully supported hundreds of people of all walks of life in moving forward in life. The EquineFlow Approach is non-clinical. It is not intended or suitable for psychotherapy, psychiatry, or counseling, and is free of assessments, diagnostics and treatment plans.
