A Living Practice of Connection, Movement & Peace

“ When we find the quiet behind the mind and gently listen, time and space arise for the body to soften and speak. We invite the body to feel the tension it is holding, and we validate it, in order for this tension to be recognised and released. A self-healing process is initiated as we are allowing what is there to be felt, recognised and let go of. We are getting in touch with what is holding the body back, and setting it free. ”

Saskia Struik 

Be Free, The Way of Quiet Presence & Harmonic Attunement
A space where humans and horses find ease, regulation, connection, and renewal.

 

Be Free is a living practice rooted in Quiet Presence

It is a space - rather than a technique - where humans and horses are met with listening, softness, and respect for their innate intelligence.

 

Through Taoist Inner Alchemy, somatic awareness, and relational attunement, Be Free supports regulation, clarity, and authentic connection without force or pressure.

At its heart, Be Free exists to help beings return to their natural state of balance - where healing arises through alignment rather than effort.

Quiet Presence - For Humans

A gentle path of inner restoration grounded in Taoist Inner Alchemy and Qigong, and supported by somatic meditation, shamanic grounding practices, and energetic coherence.

These sessions support the softening of tension, deepening of awareness, and a return to the felt sense of your own quiet centre.

For those seeking:

  • Grounding and emotional regulation

  • Inner spaciousness

  • Clarity in times of transition

  • Support through stress or overwhelm

  • A deeper connection with body and spirit

Quiet Presence sessions are available in person or online.

Harmonic Attunement - For Horses & Their Humans

A lineage-based, rehabilitation-informed, and integrative approach grounded in listening, and informed by Equine Hanna Somatics®, Straightness Training fundamentals, Masterson Method principles, acupressure, energetic balancing, and the subtle art of meeting the horse’s whole being.

These sessions gently support:

  • Suppleness, posture, and comfort

  • Functional biomechanics

  • Emotional balance and nervous-system health

  • Deeper partnership between horse and human

  • Clearer communication and mutual trust

Sessions may be equine-focused, human-focused, or shared as Horse-Human Partnership work.

Lineage & Ethics

My meditation, movement, and attunement work is rooted in Taoist Inner Alchemy as taught by Minke de Vos, and informed by Tao Touch / Chi Nei Tsang teachings through my ongoing training with Gilles Marin.

All practices are offered in a non-forcing, trauma-aware, and consent-based way, honoring the integrity of the horse, the human, and the traditions from which this work arises.
