Get to know me!

Originally from Iceland, I was born in USA and have moved between countries several times, most recently returning to the US in 2024 after spending the past 15 years Iceland.

 

Mindset has always been a big part of my success, especially after my life was altered by a car accident in 2016. That moment honestly made some of my dreams come true—but life hit me again a few years later and my mindset took life as I knew it away. I got pulled into stories, and eventually realized how toxic my inner dialogue had become.

Since 2018, I’ve created meditations and published a mindset journal and a book of quotes. But it wasn’t until I pulled myself out of that dark place post burnout that I began to truly understand the power of mindset work. That journey led me to create the 30-Day Mindset Challenge - a foundation of tools to help you reclaim yourself if you’re feeling lost, and to help you feel more grounded, aligned, and able to show up for your life with clarity and purpose.

Fitness has been my passion since 2008, although I did not pursue it as work until 2014. I have been teaching group fitness classes part and full time since 2014 ending with opening my own gym in 2020. I have been offering online group and 1-on-1 training since 2018. The workout programs I am offering here are all offered for free. After my third child in 2021, I developed the POWER 16 workout system - quick, effective 16-minute home workouts that fit into any busy schedule. Following my nervous breakdown in 2022 and burnout recovery, I created the Low Intensity workout plan. The gym plan is an approach I’ve refined over the years. The CORE workout plan is my experience as a pre- and postnatal exercise specialist since 2018, condensed into 3 levels with only 12 workouts. The running plan is designed for women at any level to reach a 6-mile goal, built on my own experience as a runner since 2008. Soon I'll be offering a workout challenge to get you going with support, where you can use any of the free workout plans.

Nutrition can also feel overwhelming! Where do you start? What to eat? How to food prep? How to organize everything around food? It's just all alot, especially if life has hit you and you find yourself off track! My approach to nutrition is to make it as simple as possible, focusing on less rather than more and using food prep as a "power move" to wellbeing. I have found using macros as a guide helpful learning about the "energy" you are consuming and seeing how you can improve your overall wellbeing by choosing fruits, vegetables, fiber-rich carbs, fats, and, most importantly, focusing on your protein goals. Here I am sharing food plans as a guide and information on macros and micros. Please use this as a guide and know that there is no "one-size-fits-all" when it comes to nutrition. There are so many variables that can factor in, especially for women having a mensural cycle that alters everything every month. Recipes that I have had time to blog about can be found here. 

Soon I'll be offering a nutritional challenge built on my knowledge and experience as a busy mom of three!

As for home organization, I have always had a passion for de-cluttering and organizing since I can remember! I got a diploma in Professional Organizing in 2013 but didn’t realize how much clutter could impact me until I had kids. With kids, it often feels like your home becomes a magnet for clutter. I developed a home organizing course built on my knowledge and realistic experience as a mom of three and am sharing practical tips and tricks that I have developed here on the blog. 

Soon I'll be offering a home de-cluttering challenge!

Stay tuned for upcoming courses on home de-cluttering/organizing, building your own workout routine, and creating a food plan that actually fits your life.
