my story.
there was always something pulling. even at sixteen, leaving my small town, i felt it — not running from anything but reaching toward something i couldn't yet name. different cities, different studies, different versions of what a life could look like. always with a sense that there was more, somewhere, if i just kept moving.
in my mid twenties i went to australia to finish my degree. a few months in i met someone. it felt immediately real, in a way i hadn't felt before. i applied for a masters to be able to stay, worked, got a dog together. four years of building something that felt like it was finally going somewhere. somewhere in those years i found yoga. something in it took hold of me in a way i didn't expect.
then he got offered a job in paris, and we went with him — me and our dog.
paris was harder than i had expected. finding work, learning the language, trying to fit into a world that was already his. i tried. but the outer life felt increasingly difficult to hold and i found myself turning more and more inward. the yoga deepened. i started writing. i started working with coaches, trying to understand what i kept reaching toward and why i couldn't just let it go.
we grew, but in different directions. eventually he ended things.
i was in my early thirties. no job, no home of my own, no money, friends scattered across different countries. my dog was already back in norway.
i packed two suitcases leaving paris. one for going home. one for bali.
two months later i got on the plane.
bali changed something.
it was during the opening ceremony that i realised what day it was. friday the thirteenth. the date that should have been our five year anniversary.
the weeks that followed were unlike anything i had known. i remember sitting one morning at 6am looking out at the rice paddies. the kind of silence i hadn't known before. something settled in me that i had no words for yet. i can still see myself from the outside and the inside at the same time.
on the plane home i listened to one song on repeat for the entire flight. i didn't sleep. i didn't talk to anyone. i just sat with whatever had opened.
i came home more aware that there was something underneath all the searching that i hadn't yet reached.
then i found breathwork.
coming home from bali i knew i had changed. but knowing that and actually living it were two different things. the real work still had to happen, and i felt alone in it in a way that was hard to explain to anyone around me.
i found communities online. people asking the same questions, sitting with the same restlessness. i got a job, saved, and invested everything i could into the trainings and the work — coaches, body-based practices, anything i could find. i started teaching yoga that autumn.
then covid arrived and the outer world went quiet. in some ways it matched where i already was. the teaching moved online, small workshops followed, and my first coaching clients came. i was finding my people, one screen at a time.
i wasn't looking for breathwork specifically. i was looking for something that could reach what yoga alone wasn't reaching. i searched online one evening and pressed play on something i didn't fully understand.
i lay down and something happened that i had no category for. a stillness i hadn't felt in years — maybe ever. no fear, no shame, no urgent need to figure anything out. just an openness, a being there, with nothing pulling at me.
when it passed i lay there for a long time. the next day i pressed play again.
breathwork has been my mirror.
through heartbreak, through fear, through the years of not knowing where i belonged. through discovering that the body knows things the mind takes years to catch up to. through everything i have lived that brought me here.
i trained as a facilitator in 2021 and moved back to oslo, where i had lived before australia. seven years later, returning felt like starting over in a place that already knew me.
in may 2022 i held my first workshop. it sold out. i cried on the way home.
my first private clients came that summer — sessions at home, my dog nearby, intimate and unhurried. that intimacy is still at the core of how i work one to one.
since then i have sat with a lot of people in this work. in weekly classes, in workshops, in private sessions. what all of that time has given me is harder to name than any training. a kind of presence, maybe. the ability to sense where someone is and meet them there. i have learned to trust what moves through a room, and what moves through me in it.
what i offer comes from both sides of that. everything i have sat with in myself, and everything i have been trusted with in others — through breathwork, through coaching, through the room and online.
i work with people who are curious about their own inner life. some have something sitting within them they haven't quite reached yet. some just want more room to feel.
i am not here because i have everything figured out. i am here because i know what it feels like when something finally begins to move — and i have learned to trust that process in myself and in others.
i follow your pace. but i will also invite you to go a little further than feels comfortable, not because i push, but because i have seen what becomes available when you do.
