About

“The good life becomes increasingly selfless through an increased awareness of, and sensibility to, the world beyond the self.”
— Iris Murdoch

I am a philosopher, novelist, and teacher exploring how to live more attentively, freely, and authentically. Across essays, fiction, and academic research, my work examines how attention shapes our relationships with ourselves, others, and the world.

I write about life in its restlessness and beauty, and about the human search for freedom, connection, and love. My essays and fiction have appeared in Epiphany, Under the Gum Tree, Foliate Oak, Philosophy Now, and various Danish publications. I also work in dialogue with visual artists, exploring how text and image can interrupt habitual ways of seeing and open new forms of understanding. I have collaborated with The Mindful Word and Psychology Today.

I hold a PhD in Practical Philosophy from Copenhagen Business School, where I have also taught. My teaching experience includes the University of Copenhagen, Toulouse Business School, and Geneva Business School, and I was a visiting scholar at Duke University. I also hold a Master’s degree in Mindfulness from the University of Zaragoza. I have practiced meditation since 2014 and continue to deepen my life and writing through yearly silent retreats.

Drawing on thinkers such as Friedrich Nietzsche, Gilles Deleuze, Simone Weil, and Iris Murdoch, my work weaves existential philosophy together with contemplative practices from Western philosophy, Buddhism, and contemplative Christianity. My aim is to make philosophy practical—not as abstract theory, but as lived wisdom.

Since late 2024, I have worked with individuals through philosophical counseling inspired by existential philosophy, acceptance-based psychologies, mindfulness, and contemplative practices. This work supports a movement away from rigid or false selves toward a more attentive, compassionate, and authentic way of living. Alongside this practice, I give talks and keynotes on attention, authenticity, existentialism, and contemplative approaches to contemporary life.
