This is My Story

Finding my love for yoga, nature & self-reflection 

I found yoga when I worked in San Francisco during the IT gold rush at the end of 1990. As the Executive Director at the Swedish-American Chamber of Commerce, and later as an Account Director launching Swedish IT start-ups in the US, work was intense, and I did not fully understand my need for nature, health, and self-reflection. Then I found yoga, and it was love at first class. Then, I found self-reflection, and I immersed myself into self-help books and loved to understand more about myself, others and the complexity of being a human. Nature was generous in California, so I also experienced the nurture of nature.

​Pursuing my passion

I continued in high-powered business and my curiosity for development was mostly a side passion. After a few years, I decided to deep-dive into my passion by spending five years at the Gestalt Academy in Scandinavia, diving into the depths of myself and others,  and the psychology of being a human. And while this was all based on passion and curiosity, it also resulted in a degree in individual, team, leadership and organizational development. I integrated this into my business life, and had the fortune to also work with building people and cultures, experiencing how this made both business and people flourish. Many culture awards later, I wrote a book and held seminars on how to build cultures to inspire others. I also released my passion for yoga, and completed teacher trainings in both Hatha and Yin Yoga. In my personal life, I continued to let my curiosity lead and explore and experience through all kinds of methods and activities - ask me about a anything and I have probably tried it!

Retreats in a loving community

Since 2025, I focus fully supporting the growth of others - and my favorite gem stone in this work is Retreats, treating others to what I love the most; retreats where you indulge yourself in yoga and nature, in a loving community with other beautiful beings, creating the perfect platform for recovery and self-reflection on how to live your best life. So come with me and treat yourself to a retreat - it´s a love trip with and for yourself.
