About
I was born in the very north of Norway, and then eventually landed at the opposite end of the World in Sydney, the first beach Bondi, where I teach seaside today.
The ocean has always been a healing place to me and an incredible place to practice and where I often teach my private classes, outdoors, amongst the elements, where I feel most inspired, and I connected to my Viking roots.
I am a trained Actor and Dancer, and first discovered Iyengar Yoga in my tumultuous teens, eventually assisting my Mentor Anne Lewis, in Hatha, Tantra and her incredible Tibetan Rites Program throughout the ’90s. However, it was not until 2013 that I fulfilled my dream and did my 500-hour Teacher Training at Qi Yoga at Freshwater Beach. The training was incredible, and I did not want it to end so I continued with the Zenergy Kids Yoga Program by Lorraine Rushton, Yin Yoga with Truth Robertson at Power Living, Meditation with Antoinette Sampson, Shakti Durga, my Guru Amma, and the list continues. I thrive on learning, and as a Teacher, the importance of also being a student.
I have also continued to work since 2013 on Sydney's Northern Beaches including Manly FC, CBD corporates, Yoga By the Sea Australia, Soul Flow Yoga, Sydney Private Yoga, and Sydney Yoga Collective, and on the other side of the Pacific - Dancing Vishnu Studio in New Zealand.
I am currently teaching at the Reserve Bank of Australia, Bondi Vixen and Private classes/workshops. I am also a Mother, Public Speaker, Actor, Sound Healer, teach Qi Gong Meditation, and Certified Massage and Reiki Therapist.
Yoga has enabled me to find ‘balance in a busy world’, especially balancing my personal passionate schedule! My classes are generally playful, fun, rejuvenating and restorative - though whatever you need them to be.
I am a huge believer in the body being a Temple, and the power of love and nature. When we love and take care of ourselves, and our inner world/ nature, we positively influence the world itself, which is my personal mission. I aim to heal and create positive change on the planet.
