Personal guidance on unschooling and parenthood
Grandmothering – not coaching, not therapy. Just a human who has walked the path. I help parents focus on what truly matters in their lives, and help them navigate parenthood and feel at home in their values.
Life is not an experiment – it is far too important for that. But it is also not just another package on the mainstream sausage factory line. With all senses open and infinitely vulnerable – also and perhaps especially to my own limitations – I have challenged what life can be, to find a way of being in it that makes sense.
Many people drown in life, many fall asleep: hitting "repeat" every morning, every Monday, every New Year. Others go into system mode and become manager and executive of their own existence. Everything under control. No flexibility.
Remember what the poet wrote: To live! Beating hearts, wind on your cheeks, enthusiasm, tiredness, plans, sofa, stars, courage, adventure.
I call my work grandmothering. Maybe I am just very excited about the next stage of my life, which I hope to see in a few years. But it is also about something else:
The truth is, I don't like the idea of coaching, therapy, or courses – all that structured "I-know-it-all" kind of work is not my cup of tea.
I am here to serve, to share my perspective, my experience, and my knowledge – and to hold your hand and your heart, if you will allow me. I am here to help, to see you and acknowledge your unique presence – to help you live a better life.
The coaching was exactly what I needed. I felt a super high level of professional and knowledge. I am back on track and trust my feelings! Thanks so much!

Shall we talk?
I am open and available. Don't hold back – just send me a message, and I will listen. And answer. I can always shoot from the hip with a bit of care and a few ideas, and it doesn't have to cost anything.
If you need more than that – real sparring over time – I guide personally and from the heart, present and liberating. A few clients a week get access to personal conversations. A couple of times a year I run deeper programmes on different themes.
How it works The conversations take place on the phone. I recommend you go for a walk in a beautiful and undisturbed place, preferably in nature. When we both walk while we talk, the process is both easier, smoother, and more focused. Nothing gets in the way – we come straight to the point.
I can help with
As a mother: Do you sometimes feel insecure, overwhelmed, exhausted? Loving your children like crazy but unable to find the balance you want? I have been a mother for half of my life. I help you find peace in your motherhood.
As an unschooler: Do you feel your child is not thriving in school, but find it too overwhelming to take them home? Are you afraid you can't do it, and that you would ruin their social life and future? We have more than ten years of personal experience with unschooling and have helped hundreds of people on their paths.
Cecilie possesses an exceptional presence and a spectacular ability to see me clearly. She is one of the most ‘relevant’ and life-wise people I have met in the field of children.

I got my confidence back and my gut feeling back.
"In this life we encounter so many rules and pointed fingers, frameworks and systems - often put out by various authorities, which make it quite difficult to find out what is up and down.
Cecilie then just takes life: straightforward and delicious and looks at it from a completely different angle.
She writes, speaks, advises in a way that puts me in touch with an ancient knowledge, a primal force – a love deep inside.
And I become sure that life is really quite simple, that I know deep down which way I should go. Of course, life is not always simple, but Cecilie makes it simple anyway, removes all the noise and gives me back my confidence and gut feeling."
