I use transformation-focused coaching, grounded in mindful listening. As your coach, I will guide you through heartfelt, energized conversations where your dreams, challenges, and desires are explored with honesty and care.
Contact NevaHeroes don't beat the dragons alone. As they embark on the new adventure, heroes seek out helpers who provide them with wisdom, inspiration, and guidance needed to win their battle.
This is where coaching comes in. To put your brilliance to work, a coach will help you crystalize your aspirations, question your limiting beliefs, and cultivate a winning mindset and approach that works for you.
Think of coaching as a collaborative partnership, rather than a one-way street. A coach is not there to give you advice or mentor you, but to help facilitate your own learning and transformation through listening, asking questions, and providing relevant tools.
As with all other heroes out there: the answers you're seeking already lie within you.
As your coach, I'm here to help you find them.


I have coached individuals of all ages and walks of life, helping them create more self-awareness, step out of their comfort zone, and guide them through big and small life changes.
While I specialize in working with women who are seeking more clarity, balance, and impact in their careers and private lives, many men reach out to me due to my soft, warm, and down-to-earth approach to coaching and personal growth.
I'm always happy to connect and explore whether I'm the right coach for you.
Like you, I value quality over quantity, depth over superficiality, lasting over quick-fix. Therefore, I only work with a limited number of clients each year.
Our coaching engagement typically starts with getting to know each other in a short call to see if I'm the right coach for you. From there, we together design your personalized coaching program that fits your schedule, wants, and needs.
Sessions are usually 60-90 min long, spanning 4-6 months at the time. We meet every second week, either in-person (Copenhagen) or online.
Rates vary depending on number of sessions. Regardless of program length, you should expect the same kind of intensity and commitment.
