I am an Insight meditation, mindfulness and yoga teacher. I teach mindfulness-based stress reduction/cognitive therapy programs (MBCT/MBSR) and I teach insight meditation shaped to our Nordic living conditions. I lead meditation retreats in Denmark and Sweden, and enjoy offering workshops, daylong retreats and year-long study groups. I teach and mentor both individuals, groups and companies by attendance and online.
I am one of the founders and currently chairwoman of Copenhagen Insight Meditation. Before becoming a fulltime meditation teacher, I was educated and worked as a feature film editor. I live in the countryside in Denmark.

Personal Practice
I have been practicing meditation and mindfulness since 2000 where my fascination with Buddha’s timeless teachings began. I have practiced in different meditation traditions, which has inspired me and opened to the diversity of life. My personal practice is also very much shaped by the many years of training and further developing, maintaining and teaching MBSR / CT. Besides my formal practice, I also see the non-profit work I do for Copenhagen Insight Meditation, my studies and the teaching I offer as a central part of my personal practice.
