“Allow nature to do the work” ~ Peter Krijger
Peter Krijger and Coen van Broekhoven have amassed a phenomenal forty years plus of outdoor coaching between them. Step back in time to discover when Peter established the Atma Institute in Amersfoot in the Netherlands in the late 1990s, and was later joined by ex-student Coen. The Institute offers programmes from one day introductory or two day advanced ‘Wandelcoaching’ translated as ‘Walking coaching’ to use nature’s symbols.
Simplicity lies at the heart of their work where the power of two questions; What do you notice?, What does it symbolise?, invites their coaching clients to connect with both wider nature and the inner nature within themselves. Peter and Coen bring their knowledge and experience to life with stories of a dead bird, a tree amongst a forest and how to find your inner king or queen.

Coen van Broekhoven (50 yrs) has been an outdoor life coach since 2010, and a teacher of Outdoor Life Coaching since 2016. After 11 years of going through his processes of personal and spiritual development, he started to acknowledge his passion for growth and started a couple of training programs, also Outdoor Life Coaching.
Through the years he developed his unique way of coaching in nature and specialised in coaching for men and couples. And when he noticed that the profound way of using nature in coaching which he teaches isn´t known outside the Netherlands, he teamed up with the founder Peter Kryger in 2018, to bring their method of Outdoor Life Coaching to other countries. So he now is an international teacher as well as a Dutch teacher at Peter´s institute Atma, an institute that provides training programs for coaching and therapy for over 35 years.
Peter Krijger was born in 1956 and has had his own practice since 1987. He started as a regression and hypnotherapist and has also been doing life coaching since 2000.
