When I graduated from high school I wanted to become a psychologist, I was fascinated by why people did what they did. For several reasons that was not the journey I was to travel. In my 20’s I instead became interested in alternative and complementary medicine and realized I wanted to become a midwife and work with natural birth.

It became a long journey but when I finally graduated and received my diploma as a Registered Midwife I felt I’d reached my goal, my dream finally became real!

Getting a job as a midwife was easy, there was already a shortage of midwives back then. I loved the work, loved the craft of midwifery! There were so many exciting things to learn and evolve in. Being part of the magic of a baby being born, the first period after the birth and the development that occurs during pregnancy felt like a blessing. The work situation on the other hand became too heavy for me to carry. The combination of a heavy workload, my inability to see to my own needs combined with being highly sensitive became too much. I burnt out the first time in 2014, tried to go back (I loved my job…) but got worse in 2015 and received the diagnosis ME/CFS – chronic fatigue.

I’ve lived my life believing 1) I have to adapt to other people, and 2) in order to be enough I need to be a high achiever. I’ve understood this intellectually for a long time but it’s not until these past years, after being sick, that I’ve started to realize what I can do about it.

After several courses and different therapeutic modalities things started to fall into place. I started getting better at listening inwards, listening to my soul, my heart, my gut, my emotions and most importantly my body.

I founds techniques like breath work, meditation, Somatic Experiencing, Tantra etc that helped me find my way back home to myself.

My wish is to share my experiences and insights – to inspire others to find their way to healing and development, just like I received from so many others along my journey. Today the blessing is to observe other women give birth to a new, more alive version of themselves.
