Welcome - I am so glad you are here. 

I offer yoga, meditation, and body-based guidance through a therapeutic and holistic approach. My work weaves together Hatha Yoga, breath, meditative presence, and creative processes as support for inner exploration and integration.

​

For me, yoga is not about exercise or performance.


It is a lifelong path of presence, rooted in truth and love. Strength is not measured in arm balances or deep backbends — but in how deeply we are able to return to our own center, again and again.

This practice belongs to all of us — regardless of age, body, shape, or background. I hold space for you to explore it in ways that feel safe, honest, and meaningful.

​

I am originally from North Dakota, USA, and have called Norway home for over twenty years. My life has unfolded through many roles — mother of three, partner, daughter, sister, entrepreneur, interior architect, yogini, mentor, teacher, and lifelong student.

 

Alongside my work in yoga, I am also a psychotherapy student, deeply committed to refining my capacity to listen, attune, and hold space with care.

What I Offer

I offer yoga, meditation, and body-based guidance for people who are seeking more calm, clarity, and connection with themselves.

My work is rooted in a holistic and embodied approach, meeting you where you are and adapting to your needs and life situation.

 

​Therapeutic Yoga and Meditation

Calm, adapted classes with a focus on breath, presence, and nervous system regulation. The teaching is accessible, safe, and supportive — with space for both deep rest and gentle strength.

​

Individual Sessions (1:1)

Tailored sessions that may include movement, breath, reflection, and creative processes, shaped around what is alive for you in the moment.
These sessions offer space for depth, exploration, and integration, at your own pace.

​

Small Groups, Workshops, Courses, and Retreats

Opportunities for deeper exploration within a safe and supportive community, with room for stillness, movement, and creative inquiry.
These settings invite a deeper process — together with others, while remaining connected to yourself.

​

This work may be supportive if you are experiencing:

  • long-term stress or exhaustion

  • life transitions — midlife, identity shifts, or new phases

  • inner processes seeking form, meaning, or integration

  • a need for deeper rest, grounding, and clarity

  • experiences of longing, loss, or belonging that are difficult to name
    (ambiguous loss)

​

My work is holistic, calm, and relational, and grounded in the body’s own wisdom.

​

With deep gratitude, I acknowledge my teacher, Yogacharya Ellen Grace O’Brian, and the Kriya Yoga tradition — whose grounded wisdom continues to illuminate my path.
