Hi, my name is Daniela Kämmerer.
Pathfinder, encourager, light-seeker, visionary.
How I found my way home
What has drawn me to horses since my earliest childhood is their silent invitation to genuine connection. The feeling of simply being allowed to be 'me' and receiving equally authentic reactions. People, on the other hand, seemed rather mysterious and difficult to grasp. The horses and their soft messages have stayed with me ever since.
For as long as I can remember, I have felt on a mission to make our human world a better place for horses.
How? I have come to understand this better and better over the last 20 years, during which I have accompanied human-horse couples in many different ways. The key to me lies in the authenticity that horses invite us to experience. The feeling of being at home within ourselves, of feeling safe when we appear as ourselves.
On this basis, we can not only lead a fulfilled life, but also be in genuine and loving contact with our outside world. As if by magic, conflicts disappear into thin air - and not just between horse and human. Our horses invite us into harmony.
The journey that I was and am on in order to explore the horse-human connection as well as my own personal growth, and being on that above-mentioned mission has been as challenging as it is exhilarating. It reliably leads me in and out of all the limitations that I have seen for a long time - all the "but I have to ...", "I can't ... ", "I'm too small", "I'm not good enough" etc. - and more and more to myself and my potential.
How many external beliefs I have shed, how much self-confidence I have gained, how much inner peace and connection to my own feelings ... What a transformation. What an enrichment for my life! And for my contact with the horses.
This journey has been going on for over 20 years now. During this time I have gathered an enormous wealth of experience, worked with many hundreds of horse-human pairs and constantly added further knowledge, new training courses and new pieces of the puzzle: from riding theory, horsemanship and horse behavior studies to yoga and meditation, animal communication and energy work, mindset and life design coaching. - From science to spirituality and back to the tangible, down-to-earth.
I am passionate about supporting other people on their path. Not just to their horses, but to themselves. To come home to their own center, their peace, their strength. To live the life they really want to live. And to bring their own radiance into the world. Because I know that this will make it brighter for all of us. And for the horses, too.
Life is too short for a hindering self-image.
„For me, it was always the horses. I was magically attracted to them. They were there for me. And've always wanted to be there for them. That's a big constant in my life. What incredible luck that I was able to make this my profession."
