My fancy third person bio
Dorte Johansen is a Danish transformation and mindset mentor specialising in Nordic Traditions, mindset, mindfulness, and heartled living.
She is also a former professional athlet, dancer and performer, and has worked as a journalist for the BBC, CNN as well as a ranger of smaller broadcasters and written publications, before transitioning into marketing and communications in a holistic health care setting.
In 2015 she became involved with ‘Harmony In Health’ in association with The College of Medicine and The Harmony Project as set out by the then HRH Prince Charles. This inspired her to retrain as a coach and combine all her knowledge and experience to help others.
Dorte is passionate about the environment, good food, sustainable living, and of course ‘hygge’. She has lived and worked all over the globe before moving to the UK with her English husband in 2004.
Dorte lives in Surrey, England, with her family and if she’s not busy creating healthy recipes, or tending her allotment (community garden), she can be found teaching seminars and workshops worldwide.
So who am I really?
I’m a busy working mum with a gigantic heart full of compassion for the people around me, nature, animals, plants – well basically the entire planet!
My sensitive nature is my superpower and allows me to help other people in a holistic and intuiative way, cutting to the core of a problem in a safe, supportive and empowering way.
But it wasn’t always that way – I used to get very frustrated by my own sensitivity as it was hard for me to distinguish between my own feelings, goals and wishes and those of others.
On the outside it looked like I had it all; a glittering career, perfect relationships and a lifestyle that allowed me to travel the world. But on the inside, I knew I wasn’t living my purpose and I was scared of letting everything go that I had worked so hard to achieve.
The challenging birth of my son, the death of my sister and a string of health and anxiety issues all called for me to awaken from my unfulfilled life on auto-pilot where I was busy living everybody else dreams. I was in crisis – physical as well as emotional – and wondering what was wrong with me!
I started reclaiming my own life and re-discover my own true self, my purpose, and unique path. The one you can’t google or ask anyone else about because it’s unique to you.
Now, this is what I teach to empower individuals all over the world. If you can create the life you know you truly deserve and want, then you can go on to help make the world a better place with your knowledge, insight, passion and special gifts.
I’m here to serve and help where I can, firm in the belief that together we can make a big impact and change the world for the better. But it all starts and stops with you. Your beliefs and your choices that will inform your actions.
All the best
