Hi, I’m Cecilie

I’m passionate about sharing the science of well-being in ways that feel practical, embodied, and kind.

I’m a yogi, a well-being practitioner, a “Norwegian New Yorker” in Oslo, and a dark chocolate & tea enthusiast.

My work blends psychology and yoga to help people find calm, clarity, and connection through 1:1 sessions, online programs, retreats, and events.

My Expertise

  • Positive Psychology

    Positive Psychology is the scientific study of well-being and human flourishing on individual, group, and organizational levels. I bring these insights into practical ways of supporting people in feeling calm, connected, and well.

  • Yoga

    Yoga is a holistic practice that integrates body, mind, and breath. With roots in ancient Indian traditions, it offers tools for cultivating presence, awareness, and self-understanding. Through movement, rest, and reflection, yoga helps us reconnect with ourselves.

  • Trauma-Informed Practices

    I’m committed to offering all my services with a trauma-informed approach and to making my work accessible to individuals with different backgrounds and experiences.

My Values

  • Individualized Support. I believe well-being is deeply personal. I draw from positive psychology, yoga, and trauma-informed practices to create a tailored experience for each person I work with.

  • Authentic Connection. I bring a relaxed, relatable, and strengths-based approach to my work. Deep listening and genuine connection are at the heart of everything I do.

  • Curiosity & Growth. I value learning and curiosity. I’m committed to lifelong learning and staying up to date on the latest research and insights in my fields of expertise.

  • Inclusivity & Awareness. I value inclusivity and accessibility. As a straight, cis, white woman, I acknowledge my privileges and limitations, and I’m committed to learning from individuals with different identities and lived experiences so I can offer the most supportive, respectful space possible.
