Countless times I have seen and experienced the 'beneficial effect' emanating from nature and animals. When people connect with 'nature' and animals together with me, processes of great value can be set in motion.


Who am I..

My name is Antoinette Leduc-Timmer, and I live in Ingen, in the heart of the beautiful fruit region of the Betuwe. Together with my husband and our three dogs: Pip (Tibetan Terrier), Douzel, and Zoëy (Labradoodle). Since 2023, my horse Maurits, a young Friesian stallion, and his friend Wiebert have also been living at our location.

We manage a small one-hectare pear orchard where it is very pleasant to spend time. The tranquility emanating from this place is almost palpable and has helped many to regain their strength.

During my studies in Pedagogy based on an ecological vision at the Utrecht University of Applied Sciences, my wish and desire to help people by harnessing the power of nature grew stronger and stronger.

This study investigates the role of people's environment and the dynamic processes in and around children, adolescents, and adults.


I have always felt a deep sense of wonder for nature, and all of this is now deeply rooted within me. Countless times I have seen and experienced that when people connect with nature, beautiful processes are set in motion. Driven by this passion, I started my company 'Sealence' eight years ago.


With my natural empathy, experience, and coaching skills, I will help you regain your own strength.

The Horses

The horse restores your strength


During the coaching sessions, I work with my fellow horses Maurits, Cali, Skorri, and Pardoesh.

Time and time again, I see how people are empowered (again) together with the horses.


Maurits

Maurits is a Friesian horse of nearly 3 years old. He came to live with me as a young stallion and is allowed to fully develop here into a coaching horse. His curious nature, his down-to-earth attitude, and his empathy make him a wonderful horse to help you gain insights. He is curious and playful and will also invite you to get in touch with your feelings and behavior.

Ali

Calis is a Shetland pony, small in stature, but don't be fooled... despite his fourteen years, he has a mind of his own. And he is not afraid to let you know it. How sure of yourself are you? He looks you in the eye and is a fan of equality. In addition, he has a nose for (personal) leadership.

Skorri is an Icelandic horse with a sweet and playful character, and he does not hesitate to invite you to "take a look in the mirror." Skorri is a master at showing you where your boundaries lie. Additionally, he loves to cuddle and enjoys inviting you to go on a "journey of discovery" together.

Pardoesh
