A Living Practice Of Connection, Movement, & Peace
“ When we find the quiet behind our mind and gently listen, time and space arises 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
Welcome to The Way of Quiet Presence &
The Way of Harmonic Attunement​
​
This space is devoted to the quiet art of relationship - between body and breath, stillness and motion, human and horse, self and life.
Through an integration of The Masterson Method®, Equine Hanna Somatics®, Straightness Training, Taoist Meditation, Qigong, Acupressure, and Sound Healing, Saskia offers a gentle path toward balance and wellbeing.
Her work is not about fixing but about listening - creating conditions in which harmony can emerge naturally.
​
The Way of Quiet Presence
​
A path for anyone seeking calm, clarity, and authentic embodiment
​
The Way of Quiet Presence offers a return to the still point within.
Through Taoist meditation, Qigong, and Equine Hanna Somatics®, Acupressure and Acutonics® Sound Healing, this path invites you to unwind tension, quiet the mind, and rediscover the body’s innate intelligence.
It is open to all - horse people and non–horse people alike - anyone drawn to live with greater awareness, compassion, and connection.
Through these practices, we learn to meet life from softness and respond to the world from balance rather than reaction.
​
When we rest in quiet awareness, peace becomes our natural state - not something to reach for, but something to remember.

The Way of Harmonic Attunement
​
A path for deepening the relationship between human and horse
​
This integrative approach supports horses in conditioning, recovery, and ongoing management within a safe, professional, and compassionate framework.
​
The Way of Harmonic Attunement extends the same philosophy of listening and balance into movement shared with horses.
It brings together The Masterson Method®, Equine Hanna Somatics®, Straightness Training, Acupressure, and Acutonics® Sound Healing to support the horse’s physical, emotional, and energetic freedom.
Through sensitive touch, rhythm, and breath, both horse and human are invited into a field of mutual trust and gentle communication - a living dialogue expressed in movement and stillness alike.
​
When horse and human move in resonance, both become instruments of harmony.
​
The Heart of my Work
​
Healing arises through presence, not pressure.
Each session, course, and gathering is designed to cultivate awareness - in the hands, in the body, and in the shared field between beings.
Whether you come to restore movement, deepen connection, or simply remember how to breathe with ease, this work offers a space to return to harmony.
​​​
Saskia's practice is rooted in the belief that healing and learning are one continuous movement of awareness - that when body, mind, and spirit are met with curiosity and compassion, transformation unfolds naturally.
​
The way we listen, touch, and move shapes the way peace enters the world.
