Rick and EleMens • Outdoor Coaching

Stop analysing. Start living.

I take you outside, into your body, and back to yourself! With methods that go beyond talking.

FROM COGNITIVE TO EMBODIED

Why Knowing Isn't Enough

The Intellectual Loop

You know what needs to change. You’ve read the books, seen the therapist, analysed yourself. But somehow, nothing sticks.

The Somatic Bridge

I combine outdoor challenges, physical movement, breathwork and cold exposure to help you embody what you already know. So change actually lasts.

MEET YOUR COACH

I am Rick.

I don’t just talk about change; I help you live it. My approach is direct, warm, and deeply rooted in the outdoors. I believe that by stepping outside your comfort zone and into nature, you can find the clarity and strength you already possess.

Testimonials

Real journeys of finding balance, setting space, and coming home to oneself.

Rick is an exceptionally adept spaceholder who combines a strong, yet gentle masculine assertiveness with an intuitive feminine sensitivity, thus creating both a safe container for deep inner work, while also understanding when to deviate from his intended structures and go with the flow of the group.

I’ve participated in a lot of workshops and sharing circles over the years – men’s work included. These sessions with Rick have been among the best, in no small part due to Rick’s competence as a spaceholder.

COMMON INQUIRIES

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to be physically fit?

No, we adapt the movement to your level. It’s about embodiment, not performance.

What if it rains?

We go outside. Nature doesn’t have bad weather, only different mirrors for our inner state. Bring a raincoat.

How many sessions do I need?

This varies, but most people see significant shifts within 5 to 8 sessions.

Is this covered by insurance?

Coaching is usually not covered by basic health insurance, but many employers are willing to fund trajectories for burnout prevention or personal development.

Is this for men only?

All genders are welcome here. Although I am a man myself and I use physical activity to integrate, this works just as well for all human-beings.
