Being Your True Self
From the untouched nature of Norway, I guide people who feel stuck or are at a turning point in their lives—those longing for an authentic, connected, and effortless way of living. Through my own journey, I have learned that it is possible to break free from limiting patterns and reconnect with your true essence.
A Transformative Journey from the Outside In
For years, I lived in survival mode, disconnected from myself. As a result, my relationships and surroundings also felt distant. Eventually, I could no longer ignore my inner longing—I had to turn inward, into my body, beyond my controlling and analytical mind. With the support of dedicated coaches and therapists who, like me, value attunement, congruence, and presence, my healing journey began.
By using my body as a compass and moving beyond mental control, I was able to heal deep emotional wounds and develop a new level of inner, relational, and contextual awareness. My profound inner journey, spanning over a decade, included intensive training and an extended retreat in bodywork, relationships, business and career coaching, mindfulness, being-oriented therapy, systemic work, Spiral Dynamics, developmental and social psychology, interpersonal psychology, trauma work, Brainspotting, and evolutionary integral development. This journey has profoundly transformed my life.
Guide for Embodied Awareness & Developmental Trauma
Now, I passionately share this lived experience through my work as an online Brainspotting therapist, coach, and facilitator of intervision sessions and retreats. I help my clients free themselves from what is fundamentally holding them back from being fully themselves. My strength lies in creating a safe, compassionate space—both online and in physical retreats—where deep transformation can take place, individually and in small groups.
In the shamanistic tradition, you’re never completely healed until you have become a healer yourself.
