Sara Adolfsen

At the heart of my work is the body — and the question of what happens when we begin to make room for everything we have learned to hide, control, feel ashamed of or deny in ourselves.

In my work I explore womanhood, the shadow and sexuality through the body — and how we can become more wholly seen, free and alive in our body.

The body has been the core of it all

I trained first as a registered nurse and a public health nurse; today I am a Somatic Educator and a Shadow Work Facilitator, a guide in embodied shadow work.

Throughout my life, I have explored and studied the body from many different perspectives. I have tried to control it, lost touch with it, and learned once again to listen to and trust my body.

Burnout, entrepreneurship, womanhood, love, pregnancies, natural births, motherhood, somatics, shadow work and the theme of sexuality have each, in their own way, brought me to the same exploration:

What does it mean to be whole and fully alive — in your own body and life as yourself?

This question runs through all of my work as well.
