I am Icelandic and located in Heidelberg, Germany, I’m a Dance Movement Therapist with a Master’s degree in Dance Movement Therapy from SRH University of Heidelberg (2024) and a Bachelor’s degree in Leisure and Social Education from the University of Iceland (2020). My work is rooted in the belief that movement can be a powerful tool for self-discovery and healing. Since 2018, I’ve had the opportunity to facilitate DanceFlow seminars in Iceland, where I’ve seen firsthand how movement can help individuals connect with their emotions and build a sense of empowerment.

I’ve worked with women facing breast cancer and other gynecological cancers at Ljósið Rehabilitation Centre, focusing on helping them regain a sense of self-efficacy through dance movement therapy. My thesis explored how these programs can support women in rebuilding confidence and strength during their healing process.

I also had the privilege of interning at Hugarafl, Iceland’s largest grassroots organization for mental health. There, I learned the importance of empowering individuals to take control of their own healing journey. I’ve seen how mental health challenges often stem from past experiences that our bodies and minds have adapted to in order to protect us. Healing comes when our bodies and minds understand that we are no longer in those situations, and we are empowered to take the necessary steps towards change.

In addition to my work in mental health, I’ve supported teenagers—especially those facing neglect or difficulty adjusting to new environments, such as refugees and immigrants. Through movement, mindfulness and social education, I helped empower them to build confidence, social skills, and a sense of belonging.

I offer both online sessions, in person workshops, and retreats, with a focus on creating a safe and supportive space for individuals to explore change, healing, and personal growth through dance movement therapy. My sessions can be held in both Icelandic and English.
