Grounded guidance for leaders ready to lead from within.
Explore what I offerI'm a Danish-born somatic therapist and transformational guide based in Sintra, Portugal. A former five-time national kickboxing champion, I now work with entrepreneurs and leaders who have achieved external success but feel something essential is missing.
Over eight years, I've guided more than 1,000 people through deep personal change. My approach combines psychotherapy, somatic awareness, breathwork, coaching and nature-based practices. I hold a Diploma in Psychosynthesis Psychology and am an accredited shamanic practitioner.
I work with men and couples who are ready for more than surface-level solutions. If you're looking for someone who has walked this path himself, not just studied it, I'd be glad to talk.
This isn't about productivity hacks or pushing harder. It's about reconnecting to what's real, so you can lead and live from a place of genuine alignment.
