My background

Movement is Health

I have had many teachers, known and unknown, that were part of my formation and development of my creativity and Body Awareness. So I will drop the naming game, mostly because my life has been partly chaotic and I have lost the diplomas and forgotten some of the most important names.

To make justice to what I was taught, I have done my best to integrate them, my teachers and the teachings, into my teachings. And I honor each and everyone. Forever grateful.

As a young girl I took dancing classes, gymnastics, martial arts as in wushu, aikido, taekwondo. I can see how this interest in movement and energy continued, when I later did in depth studies of Yoga and the Taoistic philosophy and medicine, and Buddhist meditation practices.

1988 I studied Arts and Crafts like drawing, painting, ceramics, sculpture, that led me to want to explore my creativity to include photography, communications, writing and video production.

1991 I enrolled in a program of Fine Arts in San Francisco where Performance, Filmmaking and Women’s studies was complemented with courses in Kinesthetic Anatomy and an intensive training at Tamalpa Institute of Expressive Movement. I was practicing Yoga and got in to Body Awareness and Holistic Health studies.

1993 I spent time in Sivananda Vedanta Ashram in India where I took a Yoga Teacher Training and studied the Art of Living.

1994 I spent time in Bahia, Brazil living in alternative communities, learning more about Eco-Living. I attended more workshops to learn more about the body, among this I fell in love with Oriental and African Dance.

1995-97 I studied Physiotherapy at Lund University in Sweden

1999 I created FRISKVINDEN, to inspire others through Body Awareness and Movement Therapy.

In 2007 I  incorporated the benefits of Nature in my work.

2020 FRISKVINDEN gave birth to REWILD.
