ABOUT ZEBRA
Philosophy
We all strive to find satisfaction in what we do and in how we live. ZEBRA focuses on your role as a mother (-to-be) or father (-to-be) or key carer of a child. What is bothering you? Is there anything standing in the way of your satisfaction that you would like to change? Or are you int he midst of a crisis and are wondering how to cope? What helps you to find serenity and calm in stormy times? These questions lie at the heart of the coaching.
The time when you are planning your family, pregnancy, the process of giving birth and early years are formative both for you as a parent or key carer and for your child. It sets the agenda for your shared path and influences the relationship between you and your child. Discovering that you can rely on yourself in challenging moments gives you confidence and strength to be an example and to pass this on to you child.
ZEBRA puts forward the attitude that you are the expert when it comes to yourself and the situation that you live in. You know what is good for your family and what is not. Trust your inner voice. Activate your untapped resources. Feel the loving bond between yourself and your child. Live mindfully. Learn to let go and relax. Do not try to be perfect; instead be attentive and sensitive. ZEBRA supports you in all this.
Background
The idea of ZEBRA first took root in Tanzania in 2015. While climing Mount Kilimanjaro (5895m) I had the profound experience of findig out just what my body and mind are capable of. This was followed by further moving months in the village of Rhotia in Tanzania. Tere I lived in close proximity with the erveryday experiences of the residents at the Rhotia Health Centre bush hospital and the nearby children’s home. Sometimes joy and sorrow lay side by side. I found myself confronted with moving stories and numerous challenging situations. I found great inspiration and strength in the animal and natural world of Tanzania. I realized that the Circle of Life exists not only in the animal kingdom, but that in all its aspects it accompanies us humans as well. Therefore, the zebras were the inspiration for the name ZEBRA.
Maisha Tanzania
Even after my stay there has ended, I remain attached to the wonderful country that is Tanzania. In 2021 Corina Cabalzar founded the Maisha Tanzania support association that campaigns for the Rhotia Health Centre. ZEBRA sends CHF 10 per coaching package to the Maisha Tanzania support association. Further information on the support association is available at https://www.maishatanzania.ch
