ESSENTIENCE
Your Gateway to Growth
" You sense it - that quite knowing that there is more to discover within you.
You are not alone. "
We are Tarik and Sebastiaan
Together, we have 40+ years of experience in personal training and wellness coaching.
We know how it feels to sense that something is missing.. It happened to us both.
The body was trained, but the mind at times restless. The discipline was there, but the depth was missing. Over time, we discovered what had been missing: not more effort, but more integration.
A way of living that honors every layer of the self - not in isolation, but in harmony.
We created our Four Pillars Framework as a map to this wholeness - uniting Physical practice, Emotional presence, Mental clarity and Spiritual connection.
To give you the tools to thrive and experience this integrated transformation on your journey..
Essentience was born.
Essence: The innate fabric of existence
Sentience: The knowing of self and others
Essence + Sentience = Essentience
THE FOUR PILLARS
Our approach is built on the Four Pillars that make up you.
Which one are you most drawn to?
BODY
Physical
To experience
The active nature of our embodied experience: moving center.
HEART
Emotional
To feel
The deep nature of our feelings, needs and wants: emotional center.
MIND
Intellectual
To understand
The thinking nature of our analyzed experience: intellectual center.
SOUL
Spiritual
To sense
The sensing nature of our shared connected intuition: invisible center.
Essentience is the thread that connects these Four Pillars - offering you a path of integrated growth.

Working with Tarik had a profound and lasting impact on both my physical and mental wellbeing. His coaching extended far beyond fitness, helping me cultivate focus and self-awareness, which significantly enhanced my performance in both my personal and professional life. His approach sharpened my decision-making, improved my work ethic, and helped me tackle challenges with a clear mindset.
David Brown
Tarik and I have worked together for two years during which he has been a personal coach, provided consulting on developing the company’s approach to employee wellbeing, and provided coaching to our office staff. On a personal level Tarik has helped me challenge my priorities, habits and opinions to become more self-aware, focussed and goal-oriented both physically and mentally – a better ‘corporate athlete’.
Cécile Nivlet
In plus of being an excellent life coach, covering broad spectrum from dietetics to meditation, from marathon preparation to yoga, Tarik leads the way with empathy, honesty and determination to help you be a better version of yourself everyday. Every training is different and he obviously completely adapts to the person. It impacted my career, my health and my perception.
