Healing heart, mind and soul guiding you to expand into all your were born to be

Management and prevention of stress using the MINDStrain method which is based on metacognitive therapy.

Last night, much to my daughter Elise’s excitement we watched K-Pop Demon Hunters (she’s seen it six times). What struck me was the story underneath and its similarity with what I see in my work with people: the demons aren’t evil. They’re just carrying shame they can’t let go of. That shame twists them until they lose sight of who they really are.

I see the same principle at work in my client sessions. Someone comes in with a pattern they can’t seem to break - anxiety, procrastination, people-pleasing, self-sabotage, depression…

When we go deeper, however, what’s underneath is almost always shame. A moment when they believed something untrue about themselves and then carried it, for years, along with some kind of shame shield in an attempt to keep it hidden. This shield begins as protection but becomes a prison that ends up creating more of the very thing it was set up to protect against.

What hurts us isn’t who we are but who we’ve mistaken ourselves for.

When you shine a light on what’s been hidden, when you let shame or fear come up to be seen with compassion awareness it no longer has to run your life. The shield that has become your prison becomes redundant and it simply dissolves.

And what’s left is a feeling of freedom, of lightness and of coming home to yourself.

Every session is like a hero’s journey of reclaiming the true self from the prison of shame.

One of my clients called me a miracle worker yesterday. In A Course in Miracles, a miracle isn’t about something supernatural happening in the world. It defines a miracle as: A shift in perception from fear to love.

That is in essence what my work is, so in that sense, yes I guess I could humbly call myself a miracle worker. I help people come to revelations that free them from the cages of shame.

One session with me can change your life and heal wounds you thought you’d have to carry forever.

I am privileged to guide others to change the trajectory of their lives. I get messages like this almost every week, but every now and then I like to share them (with client permission) to inspire others - wherever you are in your life, whatever hurdles you are hitting, you can transform, you can heal your mind and as a result your life transforms too.
“I have been listening to my recording every night before I go to sleep. Each time, I get something new from it. I have a much higher perspective of things now, a bird’s-eye view of what’s really going on in my life, as opposed to feeling down on the ground of a thick forest, unsure of what’s lurking in the shadows. I feel like I can see behind the curtain.
I feel like I can breathe a full breath now. I can feel each inhale relaxing my body in a way I don’t think I’ve ever experienced. The puffiness around my midsection has gone down a lot, as well, and I feel more confident in my body. This was how my body was always supposed to feel.
Thanks so much for all that you do. I’m sure you hear this a lot, but you’ve changed the trajectory of my health and my life. Lately I started thinking that I would spend the rest of my days in pain or meet an early end because of illness. I don’t think that way anymore. My life is becoming perfectly suited to me, full of love and peace. I am happy with where I am and where I’m going. Thank you again”.
Limited spots before November. DM me if you’d like the link to book in.

I often say that you’re always the perfect match for the person you choose and that it’s almost impossible to fall in love with the “wrong” one. This is because every relationship is a dynamic, there to teach you exactly what you need to learn and to heal where you need to heal.

It’s not only that you attract someone who carries the opposite of what you need to face, but your very way of being can actually create that opposite in the other.

For example, if you carry a fear of abandonment, you may cling tightly to your partner. That clinging can make them pull away and become more avoidant, so the very thing you fear, you end up re-creating through your own behaviour.

If you’re terrified of letting people down, you might over-give, over-function, and anticipate your partner’s every need. In response, they might become more passive, more expectant, and even harder to please. Suddenly, your fear of disappointing is magnified because you’ve actually drawn out more demands in the other person.

Or imagine you struggle with trust. You might question, check, or doubt your partner. That energy can make them more guarded or secretive. Not necessarily because they’re hiding anything, but because they’re reacting to the suspicion and they become more guarded and even a bit rebellious in response to the control they feel.

I was listening to my song Revive yesterday, and it struck me how much it reflects both my own healing journey and my work with Rapid Transformational Therapy.

“I opened up the box.
I didn’t know what I’d be letting out.
I’d been picking at the locks.
I told myself that I could live without it.
You can run, but you can’t hide.”

When I wrote these lyrics, I was really writing about myself. After my separation from my ex-husband, who was also my music producer, I packed all my music away. I didn’t even realise I’d done it. “I told myself I could live without it”, as the lyrics go. But music was a huge part of me. It was just tangled up with pain, regret and anger.

It wasn’t until I moved to Australia and I had the time and space that music started calling me again. But before I could access the music in me I had to work through the pain and put those regrets to rest. And when I did, the music came back. In fact, a whole album poured through me in just a few months. Revive is the song that tells that story.

It is also a song about transformation, about going back to uncover the beliefs and wounds that keep us in a cage, and finally setting ourselves free.

Have you ever disconnected from something important because it was mixed up with a whole lot of pain?

It is never too late to REVIVE it!

Link in bio or just search my name on any digital platform.

I will be sharing more of my music over the coming weeks. If it resonates, I would love for you to listen, and if you feel moved, please share it with someone who might need it too.

About RTT and Mindset Coaching

If you’ve found your way here you are probably looking for some help. Maybe you’re feeling just a bit overwhelmed or perhaps you’re stressed out to your eyeballs. Maybe you’re snappier with your loved ones than you’d like to be, down on yourself or downright frustrated that you are not happy, when you seem to have everything. All you want is to be able to feel a balance in your life – work, parenthood, relationships. Perhaps you just can’t switch off your thoughts and falling asleep at night doesn’t happen until you’ve filled up your plate from the “worry buffet” a couple of times at least.

As a mother of four (ranging from toddlers to teenagers) who has worked in the corporate world, run a company and moved countries (twice), I know first hand how challenging certain periods of life can be. I’m here to offer you a helping hand up out of the stress through a wonderful method called MINDStrain. This method, based in the very latest branch of psychology called Meta Cognitive Therapy, breaks the worry cycle that leads us to becoming stressed. I liken it to showing a bird an open door to its cage… which is what my logo represents.

My therapy room is in North Copenhagen but I work with clients all over the world over Skype, in either English (my mother tongue) or Danish (the one my kids get embarrassed by when I speak it in front of their friends).

Rapid Transformational Therapyis a hybrid therapy, that offers unparalleled results; combining the most beneficial principles of Hypnotherapy, NLP, Psychotherapy & Cognitive Behavioral Therapies. The method was developed by world renowned therapist Marisa Peerwho has fine tuned this method over 30 years. I was one of the first in Denmark to become certified as an RTT Practitioner, personally trained by Marisa and I continue ongoing coaching and development with her and her team. I also work closely with a group of Hypnotherapists, Psychologists and Psychotherapists who all agree this is the most effective methodthey have ever used or encountered.

Hypnotherapyis used as the vehicle because of its ability to allow access to the subconscious (the part of our mind that holds the info and keys to our freedom). The direct access via hypnosis means the information required to understandwhat is going on for you is readily available, as opposed to endless talkingand telling your story session after session in the hope that the source of the issue might eventually be found.

What does this mean…?

We can effectivelywork through the issues (old beliefs) that rapidlycome to the surface in order for you to process, understand, heal & rewirenew, more beneficial, healthy beliefs and patterns.

Understanding and freedom around an issue is yours to take with you at the end of just one session. We’re all unique so occasionally it may take another one or two sessions per issue. Depression and anxiety may require several sessions.

This is not a band aid, the changes and freedom are permanent.

Understanding is powerand that's why anyone ever goes to therapy... to understand, in order to be free. The rapid nature of the method means you don't have to continue to be weighed down whilst you're waiting to understand why you do and feel the things you do. Your mind holds the information you need to understand the cause of what is holding you back and this method ensures you find it quicklyand easily.

What happens in a session? I start by putting you into a very relaxed state of hypnosis. You are always in control and you will remember everything afterwards. In this relaxed state with access to your subconscious mind, we revisit scenes from your life which have everything to do with where your deeper beliefs (which are driving your current behaviours) stemmed from. Looking at these scenes with your adult eyes, you can give new meaning to them and remove any irrational beliefs that you may have formed as a child. After looking over three or four scenes from your life and working together to understand their meaning for you, I then give your mind suggestions, upgrading you with new helpful, supportive beliefs that are in line with what you want for yourself and your life. You then receive a recording which you listen to for 21 days. The mind learns by repetition and by hearing these suggestions every day you are programming yourself with habits of thought which will lead to the right habits of action. This is why RTT works so well for breaking habits like smoking or emotional eating, but it is also brilliant for PMDD/PMS mood swings, confidence issues, low self-worth, depression, anxiety and much more.

Rapid Transformational Therapy Top 9 Frequently Asked Questions

1. How long does it take? Each Rapid Transformational Therapy session lasts around two hours.

2.What does it feel like? The experience feels different for different people. Some people feel a floating sensation, some do not. Others may feel sleepy, some do not. Most people feel relaxed and at ease. What’s most important is to know that how you feel isn’t an indicator of how effective it is. Regardless of what it feels like - it’s working. I promise.

3. Can I get “stuck” in hypnosis? No! That’s an old wive’s tale. You have complete control the whole time. You can talk, move your body, get a tissue, even get up and leave (I’ve had clients who had to stop to p*e before!). If the session is over Skype and our call gets disconnected you may drift into sleep if you’re really relaxed, but eventually you’ll notice that you’re not hearing my voice and open your eyes.

4. How does it work? Hypnosis is not magic - it’s science! It works by creating a burst of brain waves that are the same as when you’re in REM. That’s what allows you to access the subconscious mind. It’s very easy and anyone can do it, you’ll see for yourself when you do it too!

5. What if I don’t “go deep” enough? Don’t worry about how deep you go. I want you to forget all about that. It's really not important. The depth of trance is not linked to results at all. So don’t get stuck on “Am I deep enough?” Just tell yourself the truth - “This is working” and it will absolutely work. Just know that it is effective.

6. What if I think I already know the reasons behind my issue? What makes RTT amazing is that even if you think you know the reason, you see it in a COMPLETELY new way. That’s what allows you to change the meaning and ultimately, change your beliefs. And for many clients they go back to scenes that are totally different than what they expected. Just relax and trust that your subconscious mind will show you exactly what you need to see.

7. What if I go back to scenes that are painful or scary? If you go back to scenes from your life that are related to things like sexual or physical abuse, or other trauma, it’s important to remember that you are not reliving that scene, you are simply reviewing it and that you are safe. I will support you and create a safe space for you to express your emotions and heal - you’ll be OK.

8. When will I start to see changes? There are 3 types of change from Rapid Transformational Therapy - every person is different: i. Immediate: You feel a massive shift right away - immediate changes in your physiology, thoughts and behaviors right in the session. ii. Incremental: You see consistent shifts every day, or over time. iii. Retroactive: You don’t see the shifts right away and then one day you suddenly look back and see all of the things that are different in your life.

9. What if I need or want another session? RTT is designed to give you a powerful breakthrough and create big changes in your life. Some clients may need more than one RTT session on a particular issue, depending on how deep it is it can take up to three. Most want to keep doing sessions to work on other areas of their life and receive coaching to integrate the new beliefs and build new habits and behaviors.

The MINDStrain method is quite revolutionary in that we do not need to go diving deep into the content of your thoughts in order to bring about big change. We don’t need to dig up your past or examine your childhood or go over all of your problems. How do we do it then? By working with your thought processes, challenging your thoughts about your thoughts and through developing detached mindfulness. In just a few sessions, debilitating psychological pain, from stress to anxiety to depression, can be alleviated.
