Description

Hello my loves :)

It's been a while since I have used workaway. I have been using this platform since 2016 and until 2019, when I returned to Denmark to stay for 3.5years before leaving again.
Whilst living in Denmark I trained as a Yoga Teacher (500hours), became a certified body therapist and took an education as an Ayurvedic coach (online through the Shakti School), as well as other self motivated, holistic focused studies, including somatics.
Beyond this I have done a lot more whilst living there, including working as a massage therapist at a “prestigious” spa, and as support in a school for vulnerable youths with diagnosis such as anxiety, autism, adhd, PTSD and more, as well as worked in cafés, shops and a hostel.

Although I have many certifications, I believe that our greatest skills, strengths and wisdom comes from experience and practice, not from a piece of paper, nor from reading books (although I do love reading).

I have practiced yoga for around 12 years now, and over time my practice has changed, just like myself, as I change with the cycles of nature, the seasons, ages, and through life experience.

I am a multipassionate soul, especially interested in holistic ways of living, “alternative” therapies, plant medicine, our connection with nature, soma (the body) and the psyche (the mind/soul), as well as emotional health, movement, creative expression and photography.
My greatest values are freedom, growth, expression, connection and compassion.
I am born with a great amount of patience and I have an innate sense of love for all – people, animals, nature… Although I am in no way implying that I am perfect, or that I am always in balance. I am still a human, and balance is a dance, not a linear process. However, forgiveness comes easy to me, and I am very relaxed and easy going. I believe that communication is key to peace, and I value honesty, especially if it comes from a heartfelt place.
If I am not learning, growing or feeling some kind of purpose, I can feel stagnant. This is why I love workaway, because it allows me to fulfill many of my values and desires, which spiral around travel, creating community, learning new things, becoming immersed in different cultures, expressing myself, sharing and gaining knowledge and skills.

If I were to label myself, the word “SPACEHOLDER” comes to mind. But I would prefer to be without labels and get to know each other beyond what we do, or what we have..
The ability to open and be vulnerable, having deep conversations are so important to me. But I also love to be in touch with my inner child and to play. Life is not so serious. Some say it is a cosmic joke, and I tend to agree, although I don’t always remember it.

I was born in the city, but I am not a city person. I prefer to be surrounded by nature, to be able to walk barefoot and see the stars at night. I feel at home near water, or in forests, or in mountains, but the city landscape can make me feel trapped and disconnected, although cities do offer beautiful opportunities for cultural diversity and experiences.
I deeply appreciate the universal languages of music and dance. I could not imagine a world without them.
These two languages allow us to connect beyond culture, language, social status, economic status and so on. They allow for expression beyond words, and we can really FEEL through music and movement. Rhythm is an integrated part of life, and when we learn to dance to it, we get to move more freely.
As per Rumi:
"A divine dance appears in the soul and the body at the time of peace and union.Anyone can learn the dance, just listen to the music."

I believe that we need to come back to our roots, to live again in harmony with Mother Nature, in community with each other, in connection with the Great Mystery and in alignment with our souls truth.

More details about your skills

Quick to learn and happy to give everything a try.

My natural gift is spaceholding.
I am a somatic practicioner, I love to guide meditation, I am a certified Yoga teacher (500hr and trauma informed) I can teach hatha, vinyasa and yin, and I am also a body therapist and facilitator of breathwork journeys.

Beyond my certifications I am passionate about photography and would love to practice more (both still photos, but also videography), I can sew on a sewing machine and in hand, I am computer literate, obviously cleaning & cooking skills, lots of experience in hospitality (reception and hostess/waitress) and customer service experience.
I can also make silver jewelry (with the right tools.)

I am intuitive and organised :) and detail oriented - I love to create a safe, cosy and beautiful environment. I just recently found out that I am great at organisation/coordination in a human focused role, as I am great with people, but also have strength in having the overview.

I am a good communicator and love sharing knowledge, skills and stories. Many times I have a special connection with children - they are so clever and funny!
I am also very open minded and always have a smile on my face. A lot of people I have met whilst travelling have commented that I have a beautiful and positive vibe. I am a really good listener and enjoy deep conversations.
I am eager and willing to learn and grow both in skills, mind and soul.
I am very interested in learning about plants, natural medicine, (i used to make my own natural products, such as whipped shea-butter, face oils, etc.), agriculture/permaculture, eco/bio-construction, managing hostels/guesthouses, organising events, teaching, about animals, making things with recycled materials, weaving/sewing, music, tantra, ayurveda, herbalism, etc... well, basically I want to learn everything and I am happy to help with any and all projects :)

I speak fluent Danish and English and decent/good conversational Spanish.

Age

31

What else ...

I am open to learn new things and stepping out of my comfort zone.

I travelled from 2016 to 2019 and used workaway quite frequently, with many good experiences.
I love workaway as a way of learning and giving back, being immersed in different cultures and building community. It is really important to me to become part of the culture where I am.

I am fascinated by our nervous system, the energetic systems, the interconnectedness of all, cultures that are still closely connected with nature and learning as much as possible of that which interests me.

My dream is to live in community, in harmony with nature being an apprentice of Pachamama and living a life in service, love and creativity.
Really, I have many dreams which include all of my passions, but I would love to connect with others on a similar path to co-create together, learning from and supporting each other.
