The pain you feel might not be a sign that you are broken. It may be a sign that you are human. Learn how to let pain speak, let pain move through and let pain dissolve so you can FEEL pain without pain ruining your life.

One of the most significant turning points in my life was when I moved to the place I live now.

It might sound mundane. But it changed how I look at health more than almost anything else.

What happened when I moved here wasn't just that I was further from traffic, or had more space than the tiny house I lived in before. It was something else entirely — my own piece of land.

I had of course heard about it. That being connected to the earth, growing your own food, is good for you. But I had never felt it directly. I had always rented, always known it was temporary. Whereas now I felt something I hadn't felt before — this is where I will live for the rest of my life.

And that changed everything about how I operate.

I started thinking in a completely different time scale. Planting a seed that will become a tree that will bear fruit ten years from now. Moving rocks one by one, knowing it might take the rest of my life to complete the shape I want. Thinking about how to establish a small forest where the chickens I don't have yet can feed from things that grow there — a self-sustaining ecosystem within my land.

I started listening to the earth. To every rock, every plant. Where to plant this shrub was no longer a practical question — it became an act of communication. Trusting that the land knows. That if I listen, it will tell me somehow.

And it does.

Something shifted in me through all of this. Quietly, without me trying.

I went from being a single individual trying to figure out my path, my purpose, my relationships, my career — to feeling like part of something much larger than myself. Woven into a fabric that was already there, already holding me.

Less anxiety. Less pain. Less worry about what I need to become.

Not because I figured anything out. But because I stopped trying to figure it out — and started belonging somewhere instead.

I think about this a lot when I think about health. Because I don't think what shifted in me was just about the land.

It was about slowing down enough to listen. To stop optimising and start inhabiting. To trust that I am part of something that knows how to sustain me — if I let it.

And when I feel that — really feel it — the question of purpose becomes almost quiet. Almost obvious.

Would an oak tree ever question its purpose?

No. It simply stands there — a magnificent expression of life in that particular form. Not striving. Not optimising. Not wondering if it's enough.

Just being. Perfectly.

And I think that's available to you too.

Not someday.

Not after you've figured everything out.

Now.

You don't need your own land. Just a piece of nature you can return to. A tree in your neighbourhood. A rock. A patch of moss. Sit with it. Slow down. Listen.

And ask yourself quietly — what if my purpose is already fulfilled, simply by being?

How does that land for you?

Wishing you all a peaceful week.

When your sensitivity wakes up before your clarity does.

I’m sitting here on my terrace, looking out across the sea in front of my garden, struck by the beauty of this scenery and feeling grateful for where I’ve landed in my life.

And as I sit here, I’m thinking about the guides who appeared for me at the exact moments I needed them — the ones who showed up right when I was standing at a threshold I couldn’t cross alone.

The ones without whom I wouldn’t be where I am now.

And when I look back at those moments, there was always the same feeling underneath it all — a particular inner landscape I kept finding myself in, again and again.

That strange feeling of:

I know something is happening inside me…

I can feel the truth of it…

but I don’t know what to do with it.

A deep understanding of myself and my process, but still unable to use it.

Seeing the pattern but not breaking it.

Feeling the guidance from within but not knowing how to follow it.

Knowing it all means something significant, while the clarity of how to act is just… not landing.

These have been some of the most painful parts of my journey.

Not the moments of sharp pain or heartbreak or acute illness — but the subtle ones.

The ones that were hard to name.

The feeling of I should understand this… I almost understand this… and yet I’m stuck.

Does this feel familiar to you?

It may be because you’re not a “normal patient” at all.

You might actually be a quiet visionary — someone who senses the subtle currents of what is happening long before there are words for it.

That can be its own kind of pain.

Because you see the truth, you feel the truth, you know something important is unfolding inside you… but you haven’t fully grown into your ability to act on it yet.

Sometimes it is more painful to be highly aware but unable to move, than to be completely unaware.

You are not lost — you are simply in the part of the journey where your sensitivity is waking up faster than your clarity can keep up.

I share this with you now because so many quiet visionaries come to me with this exact experience.

Not the “normal patients” who just want a cure or a pill — but the ones who know they are on the verge of a breakthrough, even if it looks and feels like stuckness, and manifests as health issues.

And here’s the thing:

The moment you feel the most stuck is often the moment you are closest to breaking through.

You might be one breath, one moment of safety away from it.

Even though I often feel like I should fix everything myself, there have been a few rare times — these “verge of breakthrough” moments — when I felt the pull to reach out to a guide.

Someone who could hold my hand while I crossed that invisible threshold.

And each time, something massive shifted.

I landed in a new dimension of myself.

I embraced another layer that I needed to integrate to be able to move on.

If this is speaking to something inside you — let me know.
If you feel you might be at your own breaking point, your own verge moment… write me back.

Tell me what moved in you as you read this.

If you want to explore having me hold you through the passage you are in right now, tell me, and I’ll share the details about how we can work together.

I’m opening two spots for working 1:1 with me this spring.

Much love,
Torunn

Are you done with chronic pain?

Felt it long enough, but still it lingers on?

What if the pain has something to tell you?

I know—when you are exhausted by a sensation, the last thing you want to do is actually feel it. We’ve been trained to run, to numb, and to distract.

But the way out is through, as they say.

And, yes, that unfortunately applies to pain as well - at least most cases.

So - is this about torturing yourself to bring attention to the most painful part of your body?

Yes and no!

It IS about turning your attention to the most painful point in your body

It is NOT torture - because we are turning our attention in a state where you will be able to handle it, and maybe even enjoy it.

In my approach, we use time, ease, and a specific neurological state to explore the sensation with radical gentleness and softness.

We don’t chase the pain away; we listen to it so it can finally feel heard—and let go.

Curious if this could work for you?

My new Chronic Pain Programme starts June 1, and I have a few spots remaining.

DM me «enough pain» and I will send you the details.

Let’s stop fighting your body and start leading it back to ease.

Soften into Pain
I talk to so many people who are exhausted from ‘managing’ their chronic pain.
In my early days as a doctor, I tried to give people exactly what they asked for: Management. We looked for the right painkillers, the right things to avoid, and the perfect balance of activity to keep the pain at bay. . It was a lot of work. A lot of things to think about. A lot of stress about ‘doing it right’—fearful that if they slipped up, the pain would intensify. . For me, ‘managing’ health never really resonated.

In my experience, the more we strive and struggle for it, the further away it seems to travel. But when we let go of the struggle—when we start the process of softening into what is—the magic happens. Symptoms become less intense. . As a doctor, I’ve always been obsessed with the why behind the magic. When I see a paradoxical phenomenon, I can’t help but explore the mechanisms of action.

Unlike acute pain, chronic pain is often not about ongoing damage. It’s a signal that remains ‘stuck’ in a hypersensitive nervous system long after the original injury has healed. The signal is often maintained by circuits in the brain’s emotional and fear centers (like the amygdala).

By removing the fear and threat components associated with the pain, we can lower the volume of the signal—or even train the brain to stop producing it altogether.

You may ask - if it is this simple, why dont everybody do this? Because removing the fear from the circuit requires a very specific ‘internal surgical operation.’ It can only be done when you know exactly how to navigate your own sensations of pain AND the fear that comes up with it.

I have done it myself. I have seen my patients do it. And now, I have distilled the work down to a 3-week program to make this approach available for everyone.

It takes 3 weeks, 40 minutes pr day (most likely less than the time you spend managing your pain today!

Ready to stop managing and start living?

Comment PAIN FREE below, and I will share the details of this 3-week process with you! .

Much love, Torunn

Lately, it feels like every week another public figure’s dark secrets are being uncovered.

Information is coming out, and the people we were told to look up to are falling off their pedestals.

It’s easy to use this media noise as entertainment. We can gossip about how “horrible” it is and get a quick hit of self-righteousness.

But we can also go a layer deeper.

I know many people feel confused right now.

They ask: “Who can we trust if even the ‘authorities’ are like this?”

One of my teachers used to say that “confusion is the highest state.”

That might sound strange, but there is deep wisdom in it, that I simply love.

Confusion means the framework you thought was “true” and “stable” is falling apart.

This collapse is actually a sacred call to go inside.

Why do we have such a desperate need for external authorities to guide our lives?

Why is it considered “radical” to trust ourselves?

The truth is, for someone who has always relied on society’s pillars—the health care system, the news, the traditional institutions—the idea of “trusting yourself” sounds completely abstract.

Most of us in the Western world have never been taught how to silence the mind, sense the body, or connect with the Higher Self.

We’ve been trained to outsource our truth.

If you’re enjoying the gossip, have fun with it!

But if you’re feeling a slight unease—a longing for something solid to hold onto—I invite you to stop looking at the pedestals and start looking at your own core.

The “truth” as you knew it will never be the same.

When you learn to listen to your essence, you can’t be let down.

Your essence is pure, infinite, and wise.

It is Love.

When you let your life be guided by that, rather than the shifting shadows of public figures, you stop being disappointed.

You become sovereign.

On March 3rd, a group of beautiful souls is going on an adventure with me.
It’s called Soften into Sovereignty. It’s a 30-day journey to reclaim your inner authority in a world that feels increasingly shaky.

I have a few spots left.

If you feel called to join, dm me for details, or comment sovereign below.

I have a secret: I only work 3 hours a day.

And I have never been more on fire.

Lately, so many of you have been reaching out to ask: “Torunn, when are you finally back from maternity leave? When can we start our 1:1 sessions again?”

The truth is, my “leave” officially ended months ago. But I realized something profound: I am not ready to spend my days away from my baby. And he is not ready to be without me.

The old version of myself would have made a compromise. I would have sacrificed the time with my baby for my “career” and squeezed my life into the cracks of a 40-hour work week.

But now I feel so strongly: I am not going to compromise, and I am not going to sacrifice.

I have done it before—compromising my truth to meet the expectations of a system or a crowd. But back then, I wasn’t offering my light; I was offering my exhaustion. And exhaustion helps no one.

So, I decided to do it on my own premises. And what does that look like?

I work when my baby sleeps. That gives me about 3 hours a day of high-frequency, concentrated focus. This constraint doesn’t slow me down—it forces me to evolve in a very satisfying way.

It made me ask the question: How can I give my people the deepest transmission possible without it being a compromise for me? How can I give in a way that feels fully aligned with my new mama-life?

The answer came from my Higher Self. It is called Soften into Sovereignty, a 30-day transformational group container.

By working in a group, I can protect my boundaries as a mother while giving 100% of my energy, life force, and inspiration in those 3 concentrated hours. And the cool thing is—working in a group has the advantage of witnessing others through their journey AND being witnessed in your own. It makes the work stronger.

To be of the greatest service is never a compromise. It is an act of total alignment.

The program is already filling up fast. If you’re ready to stop sacrificing and start leading from your own sovereignty, the link to join is in my bio. 🌿✨

I’ll see you inside.

With love, Torunn

What if health could be effortless?

What if your body is more intelligent than you think?

What if every cell is working in your favor, every single moment, even when it doesn’t feel that way?

What if you don’t need to do everything right to achieve lasting health?

What if your healing power is so magnificent you can’t even fathom it yet?

What if chronic disease isn’t a life sentence, but a signal you haven’t learned to interpret?

What if you are simply more powerful than you’ve been taught to believe?

What happens when you read these questions?

Is there a part of you that knows these things are possible, and another part of you not wanting to trust?

Or is there maybe a part of you that really wants to trust, and another part of you that just knows it’s not possible?

Either way - now you have a great opportunity to explore these questions for yourself, and come closer to what is true for YOU.

DM me if you have any questions, or just write IM IN if you feel the calling. The program is filling up, and I have limited spots as I will personally respond to every participants throughout the 30 days.

Until quite recently I was convinced that I needed to do a lot of stuff to stay healthy.

Ice baths. Supplements. Strict protocols. Exercise regimes. All of it.

I did so many things not because I enjoyed it. But because I believed I had to. I believed my health depended on doing everything right.

And then something shifted.

I realized my health isn't caused by what I do. My health is intrinsic. It comes from my beeing, not from what I do. Every little cell of my body is designed to heal my body every single moment.

The ice bath doesn't make me healthy. My body's intelligent response to the cold is what creates the benefit. And my body only responds well when it feels safe and trusted, not controlled and managed.

So now? I still do an occasional ice bath. But it's different.

It's not from fear. Not from "I have to do this or I'll fall apart." It's from joy. From play. From trust that my body knows exactly what to do.

That shift from doing to trusting changed everything.

Here's what I'm curious about: Are you doing health things from fear or from joy?

Do you stress about getting all your healthy habits done? Are you obsessed with certain protocols because you believe you'll fall apart without them?

So many of my clients come to me like this. I was like this too, until recently.

Doing all the right things, but from a place of fear. And wondering why it felt so exhausting.

If that's you, I see you. And I want you to know there's another way.

Drop a 💙 if this resonates.

Lately, my feed is flooded with debates about ultra-processed foods. On one side people are fiercely against these foods, and on the other side people are fiercely against those who are against them. It’s wonderful that misleading nutritional advice is finally being questioned—we need that clarity. But the solution to our health isn’t just getting more facts on the table, or keep arguing about what is true.

The real solution is learning to trust yourself again.

We have been conditioned to believe we don’t know our own bodies. We are told we must wait for a scientific study, a doctor, or an influencer to tell us what is «good» or «bad.»

But here is the truth: Your life is the only scientific study that matters. You have lived in your body every second of your life. You are the world’s leading expert on being you.

If you sink just a tiny bit deeper into your body, you don’t need an expert to tell you what to eat. You will feel it. You will recognize it in your cells. You will notice exactly how a certain food affects your mood, your energy, and your digestion.

2026 is the year to stop giving your power away. Stop asking your mind questions that only your body can answer. Why take a detour through research when you can go directly to the source?

If you are ready to stop the endless research and start listening to your own biological intelligence, comment BODY FIRST below.

I’ve crafted a very special offer for those ready to start trusting themselves again this year. I’ll send you the details. ✨
