What is outdoor coaching?

free orientation session in nature

During my outdoor coaching sessions, nature becomes an active part of the process. The natural environment helps you tell your story, and I guide you through it. In many ways, nature is a free coach—always available, grounding, and honest.

Nature is full of symbols and metaphors that mirror your personal situation. When something is represented outside of yourself, it becomes easier to observe it with distance and clarity. This slows you down in a healthy way and helps you gain deeper insights more quickly.

Simply being outdoors already brings you into the right mindset. By walking, you start to move—physically and mentally. Walking creates space for silence, reflection, and intuitive thinking. Because we walk side by side, eye contact is natural and unforced. As your pace slows, your head and your heart find a better balance, which makes it easier to reconnect with yourself and discover what you truly want.

What can I expect from outdoor coaching?

The pace during outdoor coaching is deliberately slow; we usually walk no more than 2–3 km in a 1.5-hour session. A complete coaching trajectory typically consists of five sessions spread over 1–3 months. This way, you follow a structured and step-by-step approach, where several sessions allow you to slow down and begin a deep personal discovery journey. Only in the later sessions do we accelerate to define the concrete and practical steps you want to take.

However, if you prefer a calm and relaxing pace but still want quick progress, an intensive one-day trajectory or a multi-day coaching retreat in nature may be ideal. In that case, you stay in the cosy guest accommodation for several days, giving yourself the space to reflect deeply and reconnect with what matters to you.

Every coaching trajectory is tailored to your individual needs. Before each session, we discuss what you personally want to achieve. In addition, I guide you to reflect on at least the following elements during your outdoor coaching journey:

  • Insight into your current situation

  • What you want to change and what brings you happiness

  • What has previously held you back from taking the right steps

  • Your core qualities — the things that come naturally to you

  • The concrete actions you want to take

Although a specific coaching question or problem can help you focus, it is not required. During our free introduction call, I answer all your questions about nature coaching, and as a result, you will quickly discover how this form of coaching can benefit you. This gives you a clear and natural starting point.

What can I expect from outdoor coaching?

“I have followed the coaching in nature trajectory with Bram, because I had just completed the “Oersterk coach” training and I wanted some more insight on where I stood at that moment. And that is what it has given me: insight and self-reflection about who I am, what I stand for and where I want to go. Thanks Bram for these wonderful insights.”

Sandra Holterman – translated from original text in Dutch

“Bram has helped me to reach what was already inside me. What I truly want to be and achieve. In an almost childlike way, I have reflected upon myself with a simple and straighforward approach. And to give subtance to my inspirational thoughts. I have enjoyed it, learned from it, thought about it, and acted on it. Feeling what I know and want.”

Bernel Girwar – translated from original text in Dutch

“I found my coaching with Bram to be a really new and energising way to learn about myself as well as what my future goals are. I am 24 years old looking to find my next steps in life, and had never heard from nature coaching before. Bram really helped me gain insight into what want, as well as what is holding me back. I thoroughly enjoyed using different parts of his farm to go through the trainings. It is a pleasant break from the city, yet somewhat out of the way. Bram himself made me very comfortable, and was very good at explaining both how to do the exercises and what we were doing them for.”
