ABOUT CAMILLA
After 9 years abroad, we returned to Sweden in early 2024, moving from a city flat in Rotterdam to an old house on southern Öland. Along with the lifestyle change, my husband and I became part-time firefighters, fulfilling a long-held dream of serving the community.
As a child, I dreamt of becoming a firefighter but pursued other careers instead—spending 15+ years in corporate roles with companies like IBM and Swedbank, earning a nursing degree, and working in healthcare. It wasn’t until moving to the U.S. in 2014, completing yoga teacher training, and teaching yoga that I felt I was truly helping people care for themselves.
Wanting to make a deeper impact, I studied to become a yoga therapist during the pandemic, blending my nursing background with a focus on optimizing health rather than just treating illness. I now work with clients and companies both locally and internationally, in Swedish or English, depending on their needs. Having lived abroad and being part of a bilingual household, this international approach feels natural.
My focus is on the body’s potential, encouraging clients to appreciate what their bodies can do and care for them better. I’m passionate about inspiring people to move more, treat their bodies well, and live healthier lives.
