MY WILD JOURNEY SO FAR !
In a nutshell - I help people to reconnect to SELF & find their SPARK for LIFE! I do this through a personalized plan for each client based on biography and current situation.
​
I'm a Free spirited Norwegian - English - now American citizen, creative & wildly adventurous. I have had an interesting life journey and my own path to healing is the blueprint for how I help people on their own journey.
​
I grew up in the UK and my childhood was spent on stage dancing, singing, and performing with The National Youth Theater of Great Britain in London each summer, throughout my teens. After school, a 2 year solo backpacking trip around the world gave me a love of travel and foreign culture. Returning to the UK, I attended the University of Manchester, graduating with a BA Hons Degree in Communications, spent the summer in Cyprus and a year searching for TV work, I found my way to Miami in search of the American Dream. From teaching Hip Hop, I got an opportunity to work on music videos, which turned into producing and directing Commercials & Infomercials and eventually opening LoudmouthTV. My dream turned into a successful and lucrative career shooting shows and appearing on camera as a host of fitness infomercials and also as a Health & Wellness Spokesperson on the Home Shopping Network. After almost 17 years of this dream career, I realized I was feeling burnt out. That this great life of achieving career success had led to me sacrificing other parts of my life. I was single, I lost my father, then my dog, and due to some health complications, was unable to have children.
​Life was kicking me "where the sun doesn't shine" because I was moving so fast all the time. We only tend to listen when the noise gets loud enough. I realized something had to change—BIG time. I took a couple of yoga classes, liked the feeling afterwards and 3 months later, started teacher training. I also started to study Reiki healing. It was now 2015.
This was the beginning of my AWAKENING to my SELF. An EAT -PRAY -LOVE Bali retreat with an incredible Transformational Coach KUTE BLACKSON led to my becoming a Transformational coach. I went to India & Nepal for the first time; both places having a dramatic impact upon me. I met Spiritual Gurus in India, Ghandi's visited an Orphanage & Ashram, Monks & Tibetan Refugees. I was sparked up by the Kindness, Compassion & service to others that I witnessed, and found my true purpose. This was a pivot point in my life. I stopped shooting commercials, & began guiding Spiritual Retreats & Treks in Nepal and India.
During the Pandemic, I was called to raise funds to help friends in Nepal & India who suffered tremendously. Project Solshine was born as a grass roots effort to help.I began to make jewelry and donate 20% of proceeds to the fund.
Called to adventure but unable to travel internationally, I got an Airstream van and drove around the US with my 2 dogs. It was a deeply healing & meditative experience being alone on the road. I met some incredible people & saw some incredible sights. I met kind people, spiritual healers, a shaman, a psychedelic therapist, as well as special individuals who served as magical guides along my way. Most of all, I found my own inner compass. I became my own greatest teacher, healer, and guide.​​​ Now...I take people on trips to Nepal, Everest Basecamp, India, the UK. I can sell Products on TV / shoot a commercial...I design & make jewelry. I help people to heal. I returned to India to film footage at the school for a documentary to help raise funds.
I just made a huge life shift moving my life to the West Coast. A fresh start, so next, books and a podcast... beach walks with Bodhi and a new pup and living LIFE fearlessly!
