Born from years of education, hands-on practice, and intuitive understanding, DEEP MERIDIAN BODYWORK integrates focused myofascial release, deep tissue work, and meridian-point soft tissue manipulation to unlock tension stored in the body and restore the smooth flow of energy.

My approach is heart-based, deep yet sensitive, using holistic techniques to release restricted areas, ease holding patterns, and support your body’s innate capacity to heal. Each session is an invitation to return to balance and a renewed sense of wholeness.

This work is especially supportive if you’re experiencing chronic tightness or pain, seasonal fatigue, or stress-related stagnation. It’s also for anyone wishing to welcome more breath, ease, and freedom into the body, or to deepen connection with their whole self.

I’m currently offering 75- and 90-minute sessions at Abaco Spa in Akureyri.
You’re warmly invited to book your time through the link in my bio or by sending me a message directly. 🌿

This season invites us to turn inward. It's a time for reflection, release, and making space for what’s yet to come. In the cycle of the Five Elements, Metal teaches us about clarity, letting go, and finding beauty in simplicity.

That being said, I found myself in a reflective mood yesterday when old photos appeared on my wall. I felt myself traveling back in time. They were taken six years ago in an anatomy classroom in Sanur, Bali. Around that time, I had just graduated from Balinese massage school. Those weeks of learning gave me a truly holistic approach to bodywork - combining deep touch with acupressure, gentle stretches, fascia rolling, and other techniques. Since then, I’ve taken so many different trainings and studied with many teachers who have deeply influenced my path, that sometimes I forget just how much that first experience shaped the way I work with the body today. Looking back, I feel deeply grateful for that time, for the skills I gained, and for the transformation I’ve gone through ever since. I cherish these gentle reminders of what has passed, and I honor those memories and teachings while consistently creating space for my own authentic approach to healing.

What are you reflecting on today?
What part of your life is ready for something new?
What lessons are you grateful for?

Happy New Moon 🌕🍂

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, autumn belongs to the Metal Phase, linked to the Lungs (yin) and Large Intestine (yang).

Metal is about clarity, reflection, and letting go. Just as the trees release their leaves, this season invites us to release what no longer serves us - old habits, heavy emotions, or patterns that keep us stuck.

When the Lungs and Large Intestine are in balance, we can breathe deeply, grieve gently, and create space for fresh beginnings. We feel lighter, clearer, and more open to change.

But when they’re out of balance, we may hold on too tightly, become overly critical of ourselves, or sink into lingering grief.

To support yourself during this season, try:

☯️ Eating warming, nourishing foods like soups, root vegetables, and buckwheat.

☯️ Adding aromatic spices such as cinnamon, ginger, or cloves.

☯️ Drinking soothing pear kompot to moisten and nourish the Lungs.

☯️ Creating moments of stillness for reflection and gentle letting go.

☯️ Practicing deep, expansive breathwork to nourish the Lungs.

☯️ Moving with awareness in twists and forward folds to support the Large Intestine.

Stay tuned for more guidance, inspiration, and simple practices to help you move through autumn with balance and ease

Dear Friends,

After walking through a darker and challenging chapter, I’ve finally found myself back in my beloved Iceland. I’ve made a cozy home in Akureyri and I’m now looking for a nurturing space where I can continue offering my holistic bodywork sessions.

If you happen to know of a place that feels like it could be a good fit, I would be so grateful for your help 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

It’s late summer - but in Iceland, where I live, the seasons blur into each other. The sky shifts, the light changes, but the transitions are subtle and easy to miss. It can make it tricky to tune into the rhythms described in the ancient medicine I follow, yet I still find joy in spotting the small signs that a new season is quietly arriving.

I’m connecting with the Earth Element on every level I know and love: spending time in nature, picking berries, watching waterfalls, clouds, and sunsets. I connect through meditation, movement practice, and by tuning in to my body. I care for my digestive organs, my middle Jiao, Spleen, and Stomach.

Let the seasons inspire you and become your guide to well-being.

Helping people by the art of massage

I believe there is an art to the practice of massage therapy. The art that needs to be protected through the continued use of empathy. My aim is to help others, and I want to do it by using the art of massage.

I'm a Certified Massage Therapist and an independent practitioner. My approach is holistic with the goal of healing the pain. To experience my massage is to experience my deep passion and natural empathy.

Holistic Massage treats the body as one, focusing not only on the physical but also the emotional and mental well-being of the receiver. During the session, I combine rhythmical, long strokes, deep tissue massage, compression, acupressure, fascial work, and other techniques depending on your needs. This kind of massage allows the body’s natural healing abilities, helps to eleviate muscle tension, reduce stress and pain, improve circulation, and much more.

I've learned the art of massage from different places in the world, therefore in my massage sessions, I combine various techniques that come from the classic, deep tissue and Eastern style of massage. Currently, I’m doing a degree level qualification in Clinical and Sports Massage in Brighton, UK.
