A bit about me…

I have always been fascinated by language and by people. I started talking at a very young age and, according to some, never stopped.

English was my favourite subject at school and, growing up in Sweden, a foreign language too. I dreamt of writing a book, becoming an English teacher, and later, playing lead guitar in a band.

So what happened to those teenage dreams? Well, I began listening to the critical inner voices, to what other people said I should and shouldn’t do, and I started doubting myself, experienced low self-esteem and relationship issues. Sounds familiar? The list can go on and on.

Luckily, I didn’t stick with the suggested engineering studies long enough to graduate, and I eventually followed my desire to study languages and communication instead.

Fast forward a few decades, adding a life-time of experiences to the mix and here I am.

So why work with me? There are plenty of Communication and NLP Professionals, Yoga & Meditation teachers and Coaches out there. What makes me especially qualified to help you unlock your inner wisdom and overcome the obstacles that stop you achieving your goals and outcomes and reaching your true potential; the true you?

I fully believe that life is here to be lived and that we always have an option to learn something from each encounter and experience, even if it doesn’t feel like it at the time. Most often our answers lie within, but we’re not always able to access them and sometimes, we have even built subconscious barriers preventing us to do so. My story is full of professional and personal experiences which enable me to help you uncover them and guide you along the way to discovering your true potential.

In 2007, at a relatively young age, I was diagnosed with cancer. Luckily it was detected early and for me, it was a blessing in disguise and a wake-up call not to take things for granted, especially not my health. I have always loved learning, but since then, I have been active in the field of personal and team development and health and wellbeing.

I have always been a very active person with a love for the outdoors, especially cycling. In 2009 after completely rebuilding my fitness after cancer treatment, I cycled from London to Geneva over ten days to raise funds for a cancer charity. When I arrived at the shore of Lake Geneva, the feeling of achievement was immense – and it’s still one of my greatest experiences to date.

I was first introduced to meditation through martial arts in my teens and I have practiced yoga since my late twenties, but it was after my cancer diagnosis that I realised the true power of the practices and how much my physical and mental health and wellbeing benefitted from them. This motivated me to become a teacher and pass on my learnings to others.

Over the past 15 years I have worked closely with people living with cancer, both in the charity sector as well as for the NHS, including patient support, coaching, natural health and wellbeing.

I am a certified NLP Practitioner and a professional member of ANLP, British Wheel of Yoga accredited Yoga & Meditation teacher, and a certified Relax and Renew Trainer. To complement this, I also draw on my 10 years’ experience in the corporate world where I developed and applied my skills in communication, project management and customer service.

So when you are ready to unlock your true potential, let me help you along your path. Contact me for a free exploration call to find out how we can work together.

And by the way, I own four guitars but I never quite made it to lead guitarist (yet), but I am writing a book!
