My biography

8 years at the theater and ballet school, Elmhurst Ballet School: Followed by four years in Australia working in television, films, tonight shows, and physical training programmes.

I returned to London, worked in television and film, including "The Persuaders".

I arrived in Norway working first as a model, then moved on to choreographing fashion shows. Which lead to training models, and eventually developing my own interest in the health business.

I opened my own dancing center in Denmark and was the first to introduce aerobics to Denmark. I worked with Århus Teater Akademi in modern dance and show dance. Opened my own model bureau and developed courses for models and designed shows.

I worked thirteen months in Kos, Greece where I developed the interest in herbs and alternative ways to eat better and train better through meditation and exercise.

On returning to Norway, it was essential for me to document my education. So a series of courses which included: Axelsens School for Massage, Skanetix, a new training concept,  Cranio Sacral Therapy.
And eventually a trip to London to work with the leading teacher in pilates in England, Alan Herdman. This opened up a whole new avenue for me of movement, development and understanding the unison of the mind and body.

During this period I developed my own technique of Pilates, whilst still retaining the Pilates concept. Power Pilates, and pulse training "The Pilates Way" and of course the most popular, Pilates mat class. (Please turn to Pilates page).

' I now teach Pilates in Oslo and Nesodden.
I also work with special massage techniques, which include Body Reading,
Correction, and exercises for painful, stiff muscles and injuries
To add to this.I am working with a special hanging apparatus,'Terapi Master'
which finds the weak, or, almost sleeping muscles, and stimulates them to function better.
This is followed by guidance, counselling and creating a training programme which is suited 'Only for You'.

...and I am now proud to announce that this summer I received my Diploma as a Qi Gong Instructor from the Biyun Method, Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Grand Master Fan Xiulan. I am so looking forward to start sharing this extroadinary experience with my colleagues and clients,old or new.
Am planning a week end course later this year in Oslo and Nesodden, where you receive a cd and a compendium which enables you to use this healing method at home.
