About Rianne Sibma

Working internationally with leaders, founders & entrepreneurial couples | Founder van de methode Eqrian®

Lead from clarity. Relate from presence. Grow without losing yourself.

You’ve built success. You carry others. You take responsibility.
But beneath the roles and results, you know there’s something more essential:

The way you leadrelate and decide — all of it is shaped by unconscious dynamics.
Patterns you didn’t choose, but still live out.

That’s where I come in.

How Others Experience Rianne’s Guidance

“Rianne’s guidance with horses helped me break through inner blocks and discover my own strength. She creates a safe space where you can truly be yourself. Incredibly valuable!”

Woman, M.S

My work begins where performance ends

I guide leaders and entrepreneurial couples through strategic recalibration — not by adding pressure, but by helping them shift what drives it.

My clients aren’t broken. They’re often powerful, self-aware, and deeply responsible. But even the strongest systems can drift off course when loyalty, leadership and legacy get tangled.

Through precise, respectful work, I help you see what’s underneath — and move from reaction to conscious position.

I work systemically, somatically and relationally. Always strategically.

met paarden, met precisie, met respect

I developed the Eqrian® Method to bring together the most effective lenses I’ve found:

Ik combineer:

  • Systemic positioning — seeing the unconscious loyalties shaping how you lead, relate and take space

  • Body-based intelligence — learning to read what your nervous system already knows

  • Equine feedback — using the mirror of horses to reveal leadership dynamics and energetic patterns

  • Internal Family Systems (IFS/IFIO) — meeting inner protectors with clarity and respect

  • Real-world integration — shifting from insight to embodied, sustainable change

This work doesn’t just shift how you feel. It shifts how you lead.

Who I work with

My clients are ambitious, sensitive, and often in charge of complex systems — businesses, families, or both.
They seek counsel that’s not generic or “soft,” but intelligent, grounded, and real.

People come to me when:

  • Their relationship is under pressure — but not broken

  • Their leadership feels heavy — but still strong

  • Their body signals something’s off — even if their mind pushes through
