Embodiment practice is about developing a sensory and experiential connection to the body, where awareness moves from within and out – and inward again.
It is a practice where the body is seen as an active part of our perception, regulation, and sense of self,
and where we explore how movement, breath, and presence can open access to greater clarity, stability, and emotional contact.

Rather than using the body as a tool to achieve something, the practice supports an open and sensing relationship with what is already present.

Embodiment practice focuses on the relationship between the nervous system, movement, and consciousness, and holds space for both recovery, integration, and emotional processing.

The practice can be slow, intuitive, exploratory, or rhythmic, and adapts to the pace and capacity that is available in the body in that given moment.
It works with slowness, sensory awareness, and grounding – and opens a connection with the body as a living, intelligent, and sensing place to be.

About Felt Sense Flow™
Felt Sense Flow™ is a method and practice I’ve developed through many years of experience with somatic therapy, intuitive movement, breathwork, and trauma-informed regulation.
The practice combines conscious movement and breath with reflection and inner sensing,
and is grounded in an understanding of the body as a space for deep self-contact, emotional regulation, and inner connection.

Felt Sense Flow™ is offered in individual sessions, group practice, and teaching spaces,
and creates a gentle, supportive space to meet yourself with presence and curiosity.
I offer weekly classes online. Reach out if something in this speaks to you.

I’ve felt it for a while now. A shift within me. A growing clarity about how I can best support you, and those of you stepping into my field.

Again and again, I see how transformation unfolds when we work together in a continuous space. Whether 1:1 or in group. When we allow time and safety to soften the layers. When there is space to open, release, integrate, and create something new.
And I’ve also seen what happens when that contact becomes too sporadic. Something slips. We lose our grip on the unfolding process. Not because we start over – but because energy and momentum fade.
That’s why I’ve chosen to gather my focus. From now on, I’ll offer my work primarily in longer journeys – where we walk together with presence, continuity, and intention. This includes 1:1 and group programmes, and most (not all) of it will take place online. Because it works.
Because it grounds the process. And because it allows both of us to stay in our own energy – and still meet in deep connection.

This is not just a practical decision – it’s energetic. I want to step more fully into the work I love. And support you in a deeper, more present, more mature way.

One thing I see emerging in those who join my programmes is inner leadership. When wounds and trauma turn into strength. When self-protection softens into authenticity. When what you thought was your weakness becomes your gift.

This is what I’m here for. This is where I want to meet you.

With love,
Kirstine

The people who come to my 1:1 sessions, all carry their own story,
their own shades and movements of life.

Some are going through a breakup or divorce, others are facing physical pain, grief, illness, burnout, or a longing that they don’t yet have words for.

And even though their lives look different on the surface,
there is something they all share.

They find themselves in a transition.
A space where the old life begins to dissolve,
and the new has not yet taken shape.
It feels open and uncertain.

And often, we call it a crisis.

In Greek: krisis (κρίσις) – a word that carries a deeper meaning.
It does not mean breakdown. It means a turning point.

A decisive moment in a movement,
where something must die in order for something else to be born.
It isn’t necessarily dramatic.
But it is deep.

It asks for honesty, courage and the willingness to stay in the unknown – without fleeing.
And perhaps we begin to understand the word crisis differently, when we feel it this way.

It’s really not a failure – but a necessity.
A calling from the depths,
inviting us to live more in alignment with who we truly are.

My name is Kirstine Ilum, and my work takes form both as 1:1 body therapy and in movement-based sessions through Felt Sense Flow.
This trauma-informed, somatic approach brings together body awareness, breathwork, intuitive movement, and nervous system regulation.
It all arises from the same source: the body, sensation, the rhythm of the nervous system, and the pulse of life.
You can work with me in Danish, Swedish, or English — online or in Malmö.
You’re also welcome in my online community, where I offer live classes, themed sessions, and shared practice.

“I feel disconnected.”
“I don’t know what I’m feeling.”
“I’m so used to being in my head.”

Many people begin here.
With the sense of being away from themselves.

But the body hasn’t forgotten you.
It’s waiting.

In my work, we begin with the subtle sensations.

And something inside slowly starts to say: “Here I am.”

Reflection:
How do you know when you’re home in yourself?
And how does it feel when you’re not?

You are enough.
Not when you’ve done more.
Not when you’ve healed it all.
But already — right now.

I’ve recorded a self love meditation to help you remember that.
It’s 12 minutes. Soft. Grounding.

A pause to reconnect with something true.
Want the meditation?

Just comment selflove below — and I’ll send it to you.
A small moment.
A big reminder.

Felt Sense Flow™ is a somatic movement and therapeutic approach that weaves together intuitive movement, breathwork, trauma-informed bodywork, and inner sensing.
Developed by Kirstine Ilum (me ☺️) — based on over 20 years of experience with movement and somatics and 8 years in the therapeutic field — this method supports you in reconnecting with your body as a source of healing, presence, and transformation.
In a world that often pulls us outward, Felt Sense Flow™ is an invitation inward:
to slow down, to listen, to release what the body holds, and to find strength in softness.
The work is gentle, but deep.
The pace is slow, but transformative.
The path is yours — but you don´t have to move on it alone
- and the body remembers the way.

This work lives in 1:1 sessions and in groups, and the first live session is on Thursday 8.45 - 9.45 online in the community. I invite everyone to join on this first one. Write me a dm and I’ll send you the zoom link.

New Podcast Episode 🎧✨
What does it mean to truly understand burnout — not just as a diagnosis, but as something deeply lived in the body?
In this week’s episode, I sit down with Elisabet Hammaburg, author of Förstå din utmattning – om att läka och hitta hem igen, to explore the many layers of exhaustion, healing, and coming home to yourself.
Elisabet brings a powerful mix of personal experience and scientific insight. With a background in biomedicine and her own journey through burnout, she shares how chronic stress shapes our nervous system, our identity — and how the way back often begins in the body.
This is a gentle, honest, and hopeful conversation between two women who’ve both walked through burnout — and now support others in reconnecting with their inner ground.
🎧 Listen wherever you get your podcasts.

Shame thrives in secrecy. It feeds on silence, growing stronger in the spaces we hide, in the words we do not speak, in the way we lower our gaze. Shame lingers in isolation, whispering that if we are truly seen, we will be too much….. - or not enough.


Shame wraps itself around the chest, making it hard to breathe.
Shame folds the shoulders inward, makes the stomach tighten, the hands hesitate.
Shame convinces us to shrink, to disappear, to become smaller than we are.

sometimes, I feel it too. 
A quiet shame over simply being me… - my essence, my way of moving through the world.
Just for existing.

But I’ve started to notice it.
To name it.
To share it with those I feel safe with, those who can hold space without turning away.

And in that act
of being witnessed
I soften.

Shame isolates. It makes us believe we are alone in what we feel.
That no one else carries this. That no one else understands.

But shame is not the truth of who we are.
And when we bring it into the light, when we allow it to be seen without judgment, something begins to shift.
Not all at once. Not easily. But in the slow, tender moments where we dare to stay.

Shame cannot survive in the presence of love.
When we risk sharing what we once believed was unshareable,
when we allow ourselves to be witnessed in our rawest moments,
we begin to unravel its grip.

But every time we meet ourselves with kindness instead of self-condemnation,
every time we soften where we once tightened,
every time we choose connection over isolation.

We remind ourselves of something shame tried to make us forget:
We are not worthy because we are perfect.
We are worthy because we are human.
