About me
I have never walked the straight path. Nor the easiest. I have always been drawn towards ideas that challenged the norm. Different perspectives. More complexity, and yet simple connections, between ancient knowledge, new science, nature, philosophy, and learnings from living life.
​
I lost my daughter to an infection. 10 years after I almost lost my son. I have lost my father to cancer. And the first 30 years of my life I nearly lost myself.
I do not believe that there is a higher meaning with everything that happens in our lives. But I know by experience that there are learnings to be be found, and improvements to be made along the journey.
I have struggled to find my place. That was until I found, that being accepted by others did not make life better. That to find meaning, we need to find ourselves first. It was first when I began to treat myself with compassion, and acceptance, that things began to shift.
I know the consequences of not listening to yourself, and not paying attention to what is most dear and important to us.
Not only on our own wellbeing, and our performance, but on the fulfilment and joy we feel in the lives that we live. We develop different strategies based off of how life shapes us. We use our past experiences to better predict future outcomes. To enhance our chances of survival. To achieve our goals. Clarity provides better integration, and better predicability.
That is where performance feels like flow. Integrating our true self into our doings with intentionality, purpose, and love.
My upbringing may not have been easy. But it trained my skills in observing and decoding people.
Body language, words used, and the resonance of energy. The things that are not said but present.
Working in Michelin star kitchens, with some of the best chefs, tought me the importance of the smallest details and structure.
The 2 years I spend in Austria, attending one of the best ski instructor educations in the world, taught me the importance of logic progressions and specific tailored learning.
Traveling back and forth between Phoenix, Arizona and Copenhagen, attending numerous Z- Health performance courses, applying neurology to the understanding of human physiology and psychology, and attaining my Master trainer title, gave me a lens to use looking at human behaviour and motivation.
The 10 years that I ran and managed my own personal training company and gym, exposed me to hundreds of clients, that thought me how we as humans all have different routes to succeed. That one size fits all do not work. That quick fixes is what we all want, but that they do not help anyone.
The certificate in executive coaching from Henley Business school, was a step In a new direction. The frameworks, and adapting a coaching mindset, integrated all my experiences and skills into a holistic, complex and yet logical way of looking at human performance and potential.
My style is empathic. It is full of compassion. It is caring. And it is direct. It searches for the essence. For the place where the most meaningful resources are kept. Where purpose lives. Where performance becomes a reflection of our resonance. Our nervous system. Our whole self. As a thinking partner you will need to invest yourself. We will not fix symptoms. We will explore the root cause.
