Ibe

In 1992, I met the Norwegian Sámi shaman Ailo Gaup at a seminar, where I crafted my first drum.

The drum has been my main instrument, first in journeys, and later woven with voice and other sounds in ceremonies across Norway and Sweden. Around the same time, I began studying psychodrama, completing a five-year training in this creative and transformative method.

In 2008, I travelled to the Peruvian Amazon to apprentice in Traditional Plant Medicine with the Shipibo people, learning to work with plants in their many forms; fresh, infused, smoked, or through diets. That path eventually brought me back to European plants, reconnecting with their healing knowledge and sharing it through workshops and gatherings. Today, I offer sound baths, cacao and chaga ceremonies, plant-based practices, and individual healing sessions, always with the intention of helping others meet the medicine of nature.

I also practise Aikido and Iaido, disciplines that deepen presence and mindfulness while harmonising body and mind. Having grown up on a coastal farm in Norway and later immersed myself in music, theatre, dance, and art, I now live once again in the countryside, working as a medicine woman and continuing to explore how practice, plants, and ceremony can guide us back into harmony with ourselves and the natural world.
