Lionsgate Events Facilitators - Maxime Willems

Maxime is an equine-assisted therapy practitioner with a deep devotion to healing through the wisdom of horses. She lovingly facilitates workshops and retreats where participants are invited to slow down, notice what is, and explore the profound intelligence of horses as guides for emotional healing, clarity, and transformation.  

Through this work, she supports participants to stay present, cultivate curiosity, and connect authentically - with themselves, with others,
and with the world around them.

Alongside her work with horses, Maxime brings a rich foundation in yoga, meditation, pranayama, and mindfulness practices, weaving body, mind, and spirit into every experience. These practices support participants to ground in the present moment, open the heart, and move with awareness and intention.

Maxime is also a qualified counsellor with a background in Gestalt psychotherapy - a relational approach that supports awareness of thoughts, feelings, and patterns as they arise in the present moment and in relationship with others. She weaves this with her experience as a doula, trauma-informed yoga practitioner, and yoga therapist to create deeply supportive, embodied spaces for healing, self-discovery, and connection.

Maxime creates environments where participants feel deeply held - where slowing down is encouraged, breath becomes an anchor, and space is made to truly notice, reflect, and relate. With horses as co-facilitators, her workshops offer a living mirror for self-awareness, emotional processing, and authentic connection, gently reminding participants how to listen, trust, and engage with presence. 

In Maxime’s workshops, she invites you into a lived experience of wisdom and healing with horses - a space to be seen, supported,
and guided back to your own inner knowing.
