My Story

I'm Swedish-born, living in Switzerland. I have spent most of my adult life away from my home country which has given me an opportunity to experience many countries, cultures and working environments - yet another dimension in life. It has also given me an idea of what is important in life. I have come to see my over 30 years of expat life as a gift. A gift that I would like to share with others and it has come to be the base for my approach to coaching.  

When my three beloved children left home, I needed to re-define myself. I needed to find a new life purpose and decided to study Psychosynteses, as a step to explore the unknown and challenge my status quo. This became a life changing experience for me. My re-energized life has made me want to explore further and find a new place from where I could serve others. I have found this place within the coaching; by going through coach training, being coached myself and by coaching others. I would say that I myself am a living example that coaching works. I still meet my coach regularly and I would not like to be without it.

My background is in international business administration, both large corporate and small business, relocation, cultural exchange and philanthropy.

I have a 2-year education in Psychosynteses, I am a certified Co-Active Coach through a 1.5-year  training and certification program at CTI, San Rafael, USA and a member of ICF. I am assisting at CO-Active Coach trainings across Europe. I have also participated in the program “The Daring Way”, based on Dr. Brené Brown’s research on vulnerability, shame and courage.

I'm happily married since 1985 and have 3 adult children.

I challenge myself through different sports activities and try to stay curious and always find something new to learn.
