✺

You’re visionary, smart, and capable. On the surface you've been holding it all together - but underneath your life is unraveling.

✺

You know yourself well and see the loops: overworking, overgiving, overthinking - perhaps overdrinking.
You want to withdraw or even isolate — but the isolation just spikes the loneliness, that keeps the void inside growing deeper.

Pushing harder is not going to solve it.
It’s about pausing, taking a breath and notice what really is going on — before the body, heart, or relationships forces you to.

This winter, I invite you to slow down. Together.
To feel your body again.
To be held — by us, by others, and by the natural world around you.

✺

Feeling close to collapse is not something you can think your way out of. Not because you’re not smart enough—I know you are above average smart.

But because the logic that keeps you stuck can't set you free.

What you need is a case proven system with evidence based methods that helps you reclaim your life.

“This was the first time I didn’t feel judged. As a CEO I am under constant vigilance but not really seen. Lucy holds space in a way I have never experienced before. I feel genuinely seen. She helped me stop hiding and lying! — also and perhaps especially from myself. My addiction wasn’t the biggest problem. The isolation and loneliness was. I learned many things - most importantly perhaps how to be real and connect to both myself and my mission. ”

Amanda, 47

“

“I’ve spent thousands on therapy, retreats, coaches all over the world—and was skeptical this would be any different. Being publicly exposed everyday also limits my time. But Lucy’s approach is better than anything I have ever tried before. It’s deeply intelligent, intuitive, and personal. Her sharpness and experience is unique. I must admit that I felt seen at such a profound level, helping me to regain my direction, clarity and groundedness more than I had felt in years.

Jorgen, 43

“I’ve done therapy, read the books, did the "clean" months. I could explain my pain — but I couldn’t stop it. What I needed was someone to support me every single day. To me, this part of Lucy's program was a game changer. This helped me get to know myself on a profound level, and not only did I quit an addictive behaviour that had slowly taken my focus, much more so, I got a deep, embodied reconnection to myself, to nature in a way that has made me feel alive in a way I don't think I have ever known."

Adam, 42

“

“I never thought I’d be someone struggling in this way. I was managing a business, raising kids, holding it all together. But inside, I was falling apart—exhausted, lonely, stuck in patterns I couldn’t break. Lucy helped me rediscover myself and find peace in ways I didn’t think were possible. For the first time, I feel genuinely free, without the need to escape with that one too many drink.”

Mariah, 39

“

"I almost didn’t sign up because my work is my life and I am in the middle of a major shift in my career. Lucy’s super shame free style made it so doable to break some of the very addictive patterns that had taken control over me —even with my really tight schedule. Especially the voice-note support was life-changing for me. Having the real time support when the sh** hits the fan in everyday life, is beyond words. I now have so much bad *ss awareness of what my triggers are, when I am risk of going into destructive loops and am more myself than I have ever been."

Kim, 47

“

“I wasn’t drinking daily or hitting rock bottom. But what I learned is that addiction isn’t just about substances—it’s also about my deep patterns that keep me stuck in an isolated life. Mine were overworking, emotional shutdown, and needing control. And the alcohol was a coping mechanism. The program helped me break the cycles. Lucy’s work goes so much beyond “recovery” - she helped me connect to the depths of my soul again.” - Stefano, 48

Behind every polished life, there’s a story. Here’s mine.

You’re here to lead. To make a meaningful impact. To love deeply and live with purpose.

But beneath the surface, something’s quietly pulling you off track — a pattern, a pain, or a loneliness no one sees.

If you know what it’s like to appear successful on the outside—but feel like you’re quietly falling apart inside—

You’re not alone.

I know, because I’ve lived it.

And now, I help people like you break free from that secret spiral of self-destructive, sometimes addictive patterns and reclaim the power to lead and love with integrity.

The journey

I was born into a high-society, international family. Early on, I learned how to impress. How to perform. How to charm.

But underneath the confident smile, there was a deep, aching void—a longing to feel that I had the right to be in this world, a longing for real connection. As I grew older, alcohol became my bridge. First, it offered a - false - sense of belonging. Later, it became a refined way to relax, celebrate—and deep down - to numb the discomfort in my life.

Behind the jet-set life and polished image, I was disintegrating. The wine wasn’t the real problem. The loneliness was. Feeling not worthy of love was. In my relationships, I compulsively abandoned myself hoping for a love that could close the void inside. Sometimes that led to chaos. Always, it led to a loss of self.

The missing link

I was strongly purpose-driven. Successful. But I was also quietly sabotaging the very calling I was here to fulfill. I reached rock bottom. Immersed myself in trauma work, therapy, studies, trainings, 12-step programs. It wasn't linear. I healed, I stumbled, I learned more.

But something was still missing. And that was surrender to a next level of listening to my soul, to the intelligence of the heart, to the powerful wisdom of the universe, to the radically healing forces of nature. I bring this to you now.

The bio

I’m a therapist and counselor with a specialty in intimacy, (co-)dependency, and addiction recovery and have supported hundreds of high performing clients through some of their toughest times in their lives.

As an ICF-certified coach, best-selling author, and mentor in soul-driven leadership for over 25 years , I’ve supported high-profile clients—CEOs, founders, and public figures — through personal transformation, crisis, trauma, to spiritual growth and connection so that they can fully embody their purpose and excel in the work they are here to do. I’ve spoken on TEDx stages, hosted TV shows and podcasts, co-founded startups and incubators, lived in 7 countries, and speak 5 languages.

Home today is the forest and ocean - the place where I seek and create the joy, life force and love I believe is the purpose of life itself.

Let's talk

If any of this resonates, let’s talk. You don’t have to hold it all together alone. There is a solution. And my team and I are here to meet you not only with professional competency, but with lived experience.
