Who are we and why do we do this?
We are two friends working together and our common journey began when we met at the Zen Coaching Training in 2010. We quickly found a light hearted and deep spiritual friendship with each other. What we discovered was that we inspired and strengthened each other and also had lots of fun. Since then our paths have crossed in many ways pursuing our coaching profession; we attended the same deepening courses, supervision programs, assisted in the Swedish Zen Coaching Training for several years and started our coaching businesses, individually and together. We have both succeeded and “failed” with a lot of things in our lives; offering workshops and coaching sessions, starting up different projects, starting and ending relationships etc. We have learned a great deal from all of this, which we now can bring with us in our work today. Throughout these life events we have supported each other and our friendship is today a rich source of inspiration and creativity. Our passion is truly about inner growth, and that is also what we are good at.
Welcome to work with us!
