Ever since I was a little girl, I have always been singing.
If I stopped singing, my family would get worried.
From the age of around 13, I have been writing
songs and felt my job was to be a messenger
– spreading the message of peace, love
and connectedness.
After high school I thought I was going to pursue my
music full time, And then suddenly felt called to
study medicine.
I find nature and our body incredibly fascinating
and always care about how people feel.
So, naturally I was thinking
"How incredible would it be to be able to help
and empower as many people as possible".
On my way to becoming a medical doctor, I quickly
noticed the undeniable link between the health of us
as individuals and the health of our environment;
both regarding our family and work environments
and the world as a whole with the obvious climate
changes and increased toxic load in our environment,
but also in regard to all the fear and conflicts in our world.
As mankind our body is the earth. And just like the cells
in our body do a magnificent job every single day,
keeping us healthy and alive, we need to know that we
are all vital and unique cells in the organism of the Earth.
In our body, the cells are only as healthy
and well-functioning as the environment they live in,
and our health is determined by the state of each
of the cells in our body.
In the same way our individual health cannot
be separated from our collective health and vice versa.
This is true whether the collective health consists of the
health of our family, our group of friends, our workplace,
our city, our country, or the world as a whole.
I create Celtic inspired soul-folk music
that has been a soundtrack for my own
journey towards being the best version of myself,
allowing me show up and use my voice, working
towards my vision for a more sustainable world.
It has helped me and many others to embrace
the vulnerability that is an unavoidable companion
when committing to showing up in this world;
contributing with everything we have got to
create a loving family, an inspiring workplace
or a thriving community.
Finding the strength to be the change,
we want to see in the world.
I am a medical doctor, published author, public speaker
and singer songwriter.
With my experience as a medical doctor and certified
functional practitioner, I use a creative approach
to inspire and empower people and organisations
to build the physical and
mental health; in addition to well-being
and stamina, it takes to show up in this world as a
creative and sustainable contributor.
To be the change we want to see in this world.
I create Celtic inspired soul folk music as a
motivating soundtrack to our journey towards increased
health, well-being, creativity and sustainability.
