On February 1st, 2019, my world came to a halt.
I hit rock bottom and went on long-term sick leave for the third time with PTSD and stress-related burnout. This breakdown became my awakening and the start of a long healing journey — one that has taken me to a place the “old Caroline” could never have imagined. My last stress collapse opened a new chapter in my life, and after 15 years in the interior design industry, I changed paths and became a certified Holistic Life Coach with Helena Omfors in 2022.

From Body Control and Shame to Self-Care

I had struggled with low self-worth and body shame since childhood. At the age of nine, I was put on a diet, which left me feeling wrong and ashamed. As the classic “good girl,” I kept up appearances and tried to live up to both my own and others’ expectations — at the expense of my health.
Today, I have worked through this trauma and moved from trying to control my body to caring for it. I now listen to my body’s intuitive signals and experience a deeper sense of calm and self-love.

From Fear of Death to Joy of Life

When I was 17, my father died in a plane crash — an event that left me with years of anxiety. Through deep trauma work, I have found peace, and fear no longer controls my life. Today, I see every day as a gift.

The Road to Healing

Looking back, I can clearly see how my old patterns, unresolved trauma, and low self-worth all contributed to the downward spiral and my three serious breakdowns. It took many years before I received the right help — partly because I didn’t fully understand what trauma and a dysregulated nervous system can do to a person, and partly because I lacked the self-worth to stand up for myself.
We all carry big and small traumas, but they do not have to define us. Stress and anxiety can affect anyone, but there is always hope. Listening to the body and building self-worth are key to finding balance — and most importantly, you don’t have to do it alone. Ask for help.

Creating Change Together

The story above is my own — yours will, of course, be different. As your coach, I will help you uncover your unique core challenges and explore new, more constructive perspectives on them.

It can be hard to carry the weight alone and even harder to see things clearly. My wish is to support you and give you tools and guidance to create a life with more energy, balance, and joy.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Warmly,
Caroline
