Extensive Journey in Mindfulness:
My journey began with tea at my age of 17 with tea in a tranquil teahouse, leading me to become a Tea Master by 20, deeply understanding high-quality teas. This path expanded to include massage and Chinese medicine, deepening my love for Asian cultures.
In Norway’s mountains, I embraced mindfulness, integrating it into my being. It became more than a practice; it was a homecoming, syncing my breath with life’s rhythm.
My massage therapy career has been broad, encompassing various techniques including Thai massage and Chinese Tuina. My meditation practice, enhanced by Taiji, Qi-gong, and Yoga, grew with a 12-month Shaolin self-mastery program.
🌱 Credibility Built on over 1000 Hours of MBSR and mindfulness Training 🌱
Through the 15 months of rigorous certification from the Berlin’s Institute for Mindfulness-Based Approaches (IMA) (the oldest institute for mindfulness on the European continent), I’ve completed 840 hours of teacher training.
In total, I’ve spent well over 1000 hours (25 workweeks) developing MBSR courses in two languages and much more to become not just an eligible teacher, but what I prefer to call, a guide in the field of mindfulness for you.
This journey didn’t start nor has it ended here. I’ve been practicing mindfulness already for more years, holding certifications as a Mindfulness practitioner and teacher (through NOCNA- Nordic Coach and NLP academy) and as a certified NLP practitioner. I’ve also practiced Qi-Gong and Tai Chi Chuan for several years, integrating these movements into my mindfulness practice and mindfulness practice into them. Along the way, I’ve attended several silent meditation retreats, lasting 7 to 10 days each.
Looking Ahead
My journey doesn’t stop here. I will continue to integrate mindfulness into my work, my teachings, and my life. I’m committed to staying grounded in these practices and expanding my understanding of how they connect with both ancient wisdom and modern science.
We live in an increasingly disconnected world—where attention is often outsourced to screens and distractions. Through mindfulness, we can reclaim our attention, reconnect with our bodies, and live more consciously.
I hope that the description of my path has been convincing enough about my credibility and dedication to practicing and teaching mindfulness. If you’d like more information, my certificates are available upon request.
