Essence + Sentience = Essentience
Comprehensive Integrated Wellbeing
Message from the Founders
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.
With a shared 40+ years of experience in personal training and wellness coaching, we started Essentience to give you the tools to thrive and experience this integrated transformation on your journey.
We are excited to have you here.
Tarik and Sebastiaan
The Four Pillars
Our approach is built on the Four Pillars that make up you.
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.

Shared Experiences
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’. I highly recommend Tarik to individuals and organisations seeking a holistic wellbeing specialist and a personal coach.
Gonzalo de la Torre
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. Even years after our sessions ended, we remain in touch, and I continue to draw on the lessons he imparted.
Marija Trajkovic
My husband and I have trained for 8 years under Sebas’s guidance, and every session affirms his exceptional mastery of the craft. He blends deep knowledge of human anatomy with almost weight-free methods focused on movement and flexibility. What sets him apart is his ability to truly listen as he tailored each session, keeping a constant eye on any aches or movement limitations. Every session felt personal, safe and still challenging. Sebastiaan possesses a rare physical intelligence and a genuine interest in the person behind the body.
