For employers
a força offers employers body-based coaching with horses for employees at risk of dropping out: three programmes with a fixed price, reporting on progress and employability, and a start within two weeks. In The Hague and Leiden.
Coaching for employees for whom talking is not enough
Some employees don't just drop out. They function well, too well sometimes, until the body stops. Rest doesn't help, conversations bring insight but no change. What is missing is contact with their own body: feeling tension before it is too late, knowing limits before they are crossed.
That is what I work on. Body-based, with horses, and with a clear goal: an employee who is back at work and reads their own signals.
What it gives you
Less and shorter absence. An employee who notices when it gets too much and does something about it. Reports you can use: progress, employability, what the work needs. And a fixed price per programme, so you know the cost in advance.
Three programmes
Before it becomes absence
For the employee who is still working, but where you or the company doctor see friction. Four sessions in eight weeks. One report: where the limits are, what this person needs to keep working. € 1.350 excl. VAT.
Compact
For the employee who is partly absent or working on adjusted duties. Eight sessions in three months, aimed at stabilisation and regulation. Mid-way evaluation, final report. € 2.950 excl. VAT. Extending to the full programme is possible for the price difference.
Full
For the employee with more going on than workload alone. Twelve to fourteen sessions in five months: regulation, limits, processing. Two reports, two consultations with you or the company doctor. € 4.650 excl. VAT.
All prices are programme prices, including intake, plan of approach, reports, consultation and location. No hourly rate, no surprises.
How it works
You get in touch, or the company doctor does. I meet the employee in an introductory conversation of an hour and a half; it is free and commits no one to anything, not the employee and not you. If it fits, you receive a quote within a week and we start within two weeks.
What you do and don't hear. You receive reports on progress and employability, with recommendations for the work. What the employee shares in the sessions stays there. Every report is discussed with the employee first. That way everyone knows where they stand.
And one thing to know in advance: in the first weeks it can get heavier before it gets lighter. That is part of it and it is in the report. It is no reason to stop.
Why a força
From April 2023 to July 2026 I ran reintegration programmes commissioned by UWV, the Dutch employee insurance agency (Werkfit, Participatie and Naar Werk), through a partner organisation. Of the nearly one hundred programmes I completed in that period, 77 were concluded successfully, 18 were ended early and deliberately referred to more suitable help, and 2 were unsuccessful. Of the programmes that ran their full course, 97.5% were successful. In the independent evaluations of those programmes, client satisfaction ranged from 9.3 to 9.6 out of 10. I am a CRKBO-registered trainer and work from a method I developed myself and described in The Vertical Axis. My specialism: people who functioned on willpower for a long time, often with a neurodivergent profile nobody saw.

What participants say
Eefje senses precisely what is feasible and where the limit lies, and guards that balance with great care.
Strict but fair. I found out why I react so strongly to some situations, and I have become calmer.
