Offerings in English
Practitioner Training course:
Chiron Equine Assisted Therapist / Coach
A new Practitioner Training course begins in June 2026 in Brittany, France.
Learn how to integrate horses into deep, transformative healing work.
Not as tools.
Not by using horses.
But by working with them, as co-therapists and coaches.
In this training, you will discover:
How horses naturally and effortlessly reveal where clients have lost connection with themselves
How they reflect imbalance: emotional, mental, and energetic
How this connection can be restored, and balance gently re-established
Training Structure
The training consists of several modules.
Depending on your background and interests, we will tailor a learning path that best supports your development
Investment
Modules start from €1,099 (including accommodation and meals in a beautiful Breton cottage)
Full training: €2,799 (incl. ,,)
Certification
This course is accredited by the GAT Register.
If you feel called to become an Equine-Assisted Therapist or Coach, we warmly invite you to get in touch.
You can also schedule a free introductory call to explore whether this training is right for you.
Group or 1:1 Retreats
More information will be available here soon.
In the meantime, if you feel drawn to an affordable retreat with all the right ingredients ~ yoga, horse-guided sessions, somatic healing, and time in nature ~ we would love to hear from you.
All retreats take place in the beautiful surroundings of Brittany, France, offering space to slow down, reconnect, and restore.
We'd love to hear from you by email or schedule a call:
1:1 Intensive
Step into an inner journey, online or in person (France or the Netherlands), and awaken your true “Art of Life.”
In this sacred space, you will:
Recognize your sensitivity as a gift, not a burden
Feel deeply that you are already enough
Release the habit of bending to others’ expectations
Invite your body to become a trusted companion
Nurture calm, clarity, and inner peace
Reconnect with yourself, others, and the natural world ~horses, animals, and all of nature
Above all, you will feel free to simply and fully be yourself...
If your heart says yes,
I would be honored to guide you on this journey to your authentic self, supporting each step with presence, compassion, and wisdom.
Are you ready to listen to yourself?
Do the same patterns keep appearing in your life, over and over again?
Do aches, pains, or discomfort linger, despite everything you’ve tried to find relief?
Imagine for a moment what it would be like to truly hear your body, to understand the messages it has been holding all along.
Why do certain situations or people continue to show up in your life?
What is the hidden source of your burnout, anxiety, or depression?
What wisdom is waiting behind your physical complaints or challenges?
In our sessions, we move beyond learned habits and protective layers, creating space for your mind, body, and soul to meet.
Step by step, you’ll reconnect with your authentic self, discovering clarity, inner peace, and alignment with your deepest truth.
This is not just healing:
It’s a journey home to who you were always meant to be.
1:1 sessions:
We will gently explore the depths of your subconscious, uncovering the root causes of the challenges you face.
Together, we tune into what truly needs your attention in this moment. We move beyond the stories, beyond old patterns and labels.
All the answers already reside within you.
When you learn to listen and tune in, you awaken your own strength, reconnect with your inner wisdom, and step more fully into alignment with who you truly are.
There are several methods that can be used during the 1:1 sessions to strengthen you in your process, like for example:
Body awareness exercises,
Trauma integration,
Mindfulness & pure consciousness,
Quantum healing,
Focusing and inner child work.
& during a live session it is possible to use the magic of the horses:
One of the most profound ways to support your healing is through working with horses.
Horses are herd animals, finely attuned to the world around them. Their survival depends on reading body language, of other herd members and of potential threats, with remarkable precision. Because of this:
Horses are truly masters of energy and nonverbal communication.
How a horse responds to you reflects not only how you feel but also how you show up in the world.
Horses mirror our behavior with honesty and clarity, offering insight in ways that are immediate, pure, and direct.
In their presence, your patterns become visible, and your growth is reflected back in real time.
The most beautiful part? When you shift, become more aware, or reconnect with your true self, horses respond instantly and intuitively, reinforcing your progress.
Through horses you discover your own inner strength and authenticity ~ gently, profoundly, and beautifully.
All of our methods complement each other, and we always tailor the approach to what best serves your unique journey.
If appropriate and desired, attention is also paid to the physical health and a complete holistic approach can be used, including the knowledge from:
Ayurvedic / Eastern- & Western natural medicine, herbs, nutritional supplements and essential oils.
Who am I?
My name is Cynthia van der Wal, 19 years ago I founded Chiron Center. I have spent many years working in mental health care, training other (horse) coaches and equine-assisted therapists, but above all, I see myself as a lifelong traveler on the path of discovering my authentic self.
Through my own journey of trial and error, I have learned that the answers we often seek outside ourselves are, in fact, found within.
From this inner exploration, it becomes possible to act and respond more authentically in the world around us.
What I want you to experience most is that it doesn’t have to be difficult.
The things that come naturally to us are often where our greatest strength lies.
I believe that everyone possesses their own inner wisdom and strength, though over time, we may have lost connection with it.
My mission is to help you reconnect with this inner wisdom and guide you on a beautiful, transformative journey inward.
Through mirroring your patterns and offering a safe, supportive space, I help you recognize and rediscover your own “Art of Life.”
Where and how?
1:1 sessions can be taken individually or as part of a Deep Dive trajectory.
Sessions are fully available online or can be combined with live sessions with horses in France (Brittany) or the Netherlands.
