Coaching in nature
This form of coaching is carried out while walking. Nature is actively used here. Coaching in nature offers powerful added value over coaching within four walls. A number of advantages at a glance:
- Walking in nature helps to quiet your mind. Nature has a soothing effect, making you more able to listen to your inner feelings.
- When you walk and get moving, everything that seems stuck in your head also gets moving more easily.
- A conversation conducted while walking provides space for silence and reflection. Eye contact is not always necessary. This often makes it easier for you to express matters that are sensitive or painful.
- In nature you move outside your own familiar world. You will literally break new ground and discover new horizons. This will make you more open to new insights and ideas.
- Nature offers unprecedented opportunities to work with metaphors and symbolism. This almost always brings powerful breakthroughs in the consciousness process. A symbol offers the opportunity to put the problem out of your mind for a moment, so that you can literally look at it from a distance. This brings you closer to your feelings and invariably leads to clear insights. By making the problem visual, you also create a clear anchor. The same applies to symbolic actions. Choices that are physically experienced in this way will ultimately be real and lasting.
How does a session work?
An important difference with other ways of coaching is that with coaching in nature we first consider in detail what is happening now. What is the situation at the moment (and not yet where you want to go). From there we formulate a wish and a question. We investigate what is holding you back and look at what can increase your capacity, then we formulate a concrete step-by-step plan. So that you actually take action.
An important part is feeling what really lives inside you. Nature supports you in this. Our minds are often busy with what you have to do, what is expected of you, what could be improved/different. I help you to feel what it is like NOW in you and to look for the answers that live within you.
For whom?
Guidance on your trajectory by a nature coach is suitable for anyone who is at a loss and for people who experience too many stimuli or concentration problems. This can arise after a certain event or trauma, but can also be congenital.
Your investment: €100.00 (1.5 to 2 hours) per session. A non-binding (telephone) consultation in advance is always possible.
Experience shows that five sessions are needed to seek answers that live within you.
Special package:
5 sessions of (1.5 hours to 2 hours) €475 excl. VAT (instead of €500 excl. VAT).
Group session?
That is also possible. Contact us for the possibilities.

Tanja: 'I liked that Isabel was always patient and asked the questions in such a way that I had to answer them myself. She never gave advice herself.”
José: 'I noticed that the mindful approach made me very calm and that I suddenly started seeing things differently. Surprising how nature played a part in this.'
Cancellation policy:
If you cancel a booking up to one week in advance, €15 administration costs will be charged. If you cancel within one week before the session, the total costs will be charged. We will then give you the option to follow a subsequent, same session for 50% of the costs.
I work at various locations:
- In the Amsterdam forest or Vondelpark Amsterdam
- In (national) parks in Galicia (Spain)
