THE ART OF SELF-HEALING
If you long to feel more alive and connected to your creativity, body, soul, and the flow of life itself, this course was made for you.
Transform your life with everyday creative self-healing rituals
The Art of Self-Healing is a gentle mini-course you move through at your own pace. Itâs designed for anyone who wants to come back to themselves, to reconnect with their energy and creativity.
Youâll explore small healing rituals that fit your rhythm and your needs â simple practices you can do in 20 minutes a day or less that gradually help you feel more grounded, alive, and connected.
Throughout the course, youâll practice reconnecting with yourself, finding strength, courage, and creative flow â one brushstroke, one movement, or one breath at a time. Youâll also have a supportive, creative space to experiment, express, and explore, and to carry that energy into your everyday life.
The title, The Art of Self-Healing, has a double meaning: healing itself is an art and something you can do through art. This mini-course invites you to reclaim your creative expression, make space for yourself, and nurture your whole being.

Can I really change anything with a mini online course like this?
Yes. If you engage and stick with it. Research shows that itâs the small daily changes that have the biggest impact over time. You may have experienced major insights in larger, in-person courses before, only to find them hard to integrate into everyday life afterward. This mini-course is intentionally small and simple, so you can actually apply what you learn in your daily lifeâand notice real changeâbecause you work independently from the start, with gentle support. You can repeat the course as often as you like.

Why creativity? How on earth is a dance or a song going to make me feel better?
Because creative self-care works â gently, yet powerfully. Youâve probably experienced dancing, singing, or writing, and suddenly feeling lighter. When you create freely and mindfully, without pressure, you make space for your inner voice and life force. You nourish your connection to yourself and gain access to resources, feelings, and dreams that may have been hidden behind stress, shame, or exhaustion. For me, creativity is your soulâs own voice â and an anchor you can always return to. Creative expression can also be a kind of alchemical process, transforming the most painful parts of life into something meaningful or even beautiful. Finally, there is growing research showing that daily creative practice has many health benefits. You can read more by scrolling all the way down on this page.

Will you be my teacher in the course & can I receive direct coaching/therapy from you?
No, because this is a self-guided self-help course, not therapy or coaching. Yes, I teach the course, but only through video and audio files. I also sometimes comment on posts in the forum. Later, there will be opportunities to purchase group coaching and other ways to work directly with me. You can also sign up for my waitlist for psychotherapy by writing to me directly.

All the exercises can be adapted to what you have on hand, and you can find materials that suit you along the way.

Is this a good fit for me if I have trauma or other mental health challenges?
The course is designed to be gentle and healing, but it is an online mini-course where you work on your own. It cannot and should not be understood as a substitute for necessary or relevant therapy or professional healthcare.
Additionally, the guided meditations and creative exercises may bring up old emotions and/or traumas, which are best addressed in individual therapy. This is a small online group program with limited individual support, and you are responsible for seeking further help if you need it.

How is this course different from previous courses on The Art of Self-Healing cards?
The previous courses were precursors to The Art of Self-Healing Cards and helped form the foundation that the cards are built on today. Since then, the cards have been further developed, professionally edited, and published as a physical set â available in both Danish and English.
This new course assumes that you already have (or will get) the cards and gently guides you into using them in practice â so that creative self-healing can become a nourishing and natural part of your everyday life.
The course has been designed based on feedback from hundreds of users, and all content has been updated, simplified, and made more engaging and user-friendly, so that you actually start a creative self-healing practice instead of just looking at a screen.
Everything is hosted on a new platform thatâs easier and more pleasant to use â whether on a computer, tablet, or mobile.
