Sissel supported me via phone calls and emails. I took my “homework” very seriously and therefore was able to move forward quickly. Sissel’s individual focus is so targeted to getting results that I really experienced an immediate outcome. You do your job well. You always think of different ways to look at things and won't let me get away with excuses. Thank you!"

Working with Sissel has changed my life. She has helped me to believe in myself again after being in an emotionally abusive relationship, and to rebuild my self-esteem. I would highly recommend Sissel to anyone considering life coaching. She has a friendly and very approachable manner and is supportive and non-judgmental. Life coaching is the best investment you can make in yourself - because it can change your life in a positive way forever.

Sissel brings peace and calmness into my life. She helps me see things clearly, especially during times when perspective is hard to find. I’ve used her services to get my life back on track, and the difference has been remarkable.
I’ve had coaching before, but it never felt like a meaningful part of my self‑care — it was just something to do. With Sissel, it’s different. I can literally feel the shift in my body and mind when I go too long without her support. Her work has become an essential part of how I take care of myself.

I have known Sissel for many years and truly appreciate her caring and expertise in everything she does. I have attended some of her classes, which were very informative and have had positive benefits in my day-to-day living. I always leave feeling relaxed and refreshed. She loves helping people learn how to take better care of themselves and to improve their lives. Gratitude Journaling Is one of the best things we can do for ourselves.

Sissel has helped me with issues relating to anxiety and shown me ways to deal with it. The most successful was Gratitude Journaling! This helps me keep my focus on what is good in my life, not the bad. She has also shown me grounding techniques, which have been of great help. Sissel is excellent at what she does, and I appreciate all the help she has given me.

I wanted to express my gratitude for Sissel’s coaching assistance with self-care. Your guidance and thoughtful responses have been invaluable. Whether you helped me find relaxation techniques, suggested healthy habits, or simply listened compassionately, you’ve made a positive impact on my well-being.

Dear Sissel
I want to express my deepest gratitude for your guidance and support throughout our coaching journey. Your wisdom and encouragement have truly transformed my life. When we began working together, I often felt overwhelmed by the enormity of my goals — as if I were standing at the foot of Mount Everest, unsure how to climb something so vast.
You taught me a lesson that stays with me every day: consistency and small positive changes can create remarkable improvements over time. That simple truth has changed everything for me, and I am forever grateful.
AA — Liverpool, UK
Remember when I hesitated to start? Now, I celebrate the journey. I have climbed my own mountain not in giant leaps, but in consistent, purposeful steps. And the view from here is breathtaking.
So, Sissel thank you for teaching me that even the tiniest adjustments matter. Thank you for showing me that consistency is not about perfection—it is about showing up, day after day. And most importantly, thank you for believing in my potential when I doubted it myself.With heartfelt appreciation,

THE VIKING‑WOMAN’S BLUEPRINT — FAQ
A Scandinavian approach to midlife clarity, balance, and grounded direction.
If you’re exploring your next step, these answers will help you understand what the Blueprint offers —
a self‑guided, practical framework inspired by Scandinavian simplicity and Modern Viking‑Woman resilience.
What exactly is The Viking‑Woman’s Blueprint?
The Blueprint is a self‑guided life framework rooted in Scandinavian clarity and grounded micro‑steps. It helps you understand where you are, what’s draining your energy, and what small, practical shifts can bring you back into balance.
It is not therapy, not coaching, and not medical treatment. It is a structured, Nordic‑inspired approach to rebuilding steadiness and direction.
Inside the Blueprint, you explore:
where you are right now
what’s draining your energy
what needs to be simplified
what habits support clarity
how to rebuild balance through micro‑steps
how to reconnect with yourself
how to create a life layout that fits your season
It is a map, not a coaching program.
How do I know where to start?
You begin with the Midlife Burnout Audit — a self‑guided assessment that helps you see:
what’s draining you
what needs to be removed
what needs to be added
what your energy is asking for
where your habits are collapsing
what patterns keep you stuck
This becomes your starting point — clear, simple, and doable.
Do you prescribe medication, supplements, or fitness plans?
No. The Blueprint does not include:
medication
supplements
diagnosis
symptom treatment
fitness routines
workout plans
It is a self‑guided clarity framework, not medical or fitness support.
If your Audit suggests you may benefit from medical or physical care, the Blueprint helps you understand what type of professional to look for — without choosing one for you.
So, what does the Blueprint actually help me do?
You work through:
micro‑steps
grounded reflection
Scandinavian clarity practices
daily balance rituals
simplifying your schedule
reclaiming your time
reducing overwhelm
strengthening habits
creating a life layout that fits your real life
Even ten minutes a day can shift your week.
Do I have to travel?
No. The Blueprint is self‑guided and can be explored from anywhere, at your own pace.
What if I feel alone in this stage of life?
The Blueprint is designed for independent exploration — a grounded, private space where you reconnect with your own clarity and direction.
It does not include community groups or coaching circles.
Does this help with boundaries?
Yes — boundaries are part of the Blueprint’s clarity framework.
You explore:
how to simplify commitments
how to protect your time
how to reduce over‑giving
how to create steadier rhythms
how to reclaim your peace
Boundaries become part of your life layout, not a coaching process.
Is this therapy?
No.
Therapy focuses on emotional healing and mental health. The Blueprint focuses on structure, clarity, balance, and direction — a Scandinavian, practical approach to rebuilding steadiness.
It is for women who want change, but do not need clinical treatment.
Who is this for?
Women in midlife who are:
exhausted
overwhelmed
carrying too much
craving balance
craving clarity
craving a new way forward
It is for women ready to rebuild steadiness through small, grounded steps.
Is this right for me?
The Blueprint is right for you if you want:
clarity instead of confusion
calm instead of overwhelm
structure instead of chaos
small steps instead of pressure
a life that finally fits your season
It is not for women who need therapy, medical treatment, or crisis support.
