My name is Fabienne Kootstra. As a child I already had a passion for psychology, horses, drawing and painting. For more than 20 years I have studied psychological patterns, trauma and approaches, methods and tools. And nowadays I combine all these passions in my work.

I had trauma causing experiences and situations in my life. Therefore I also tried all kinds of techniques of trauma healing on myself. Along the way I developed my own combination of coaching and therapy skill sets. Based on proven techniques, modern developments in trauma healing and also what works best for me and my clients. And I keep on finetuning.

One of my specialties is abuse, which can be physical, emotional, mental, narcissistic or sexual abuse. Also neglect is a form of abuse.

My work method is a combination of emotional processing, bodywork, breathwork, language, art and last but not least equine assisted coaching and therapy. Horses mirror and heal. They play a key role in my coaching and therapy sessions.
