As an associate professor at the Danish Center for Mindfulness, I work with Mindfulness-Based Interventions (MBI) in healthcare settings. I am responsible for the Centre’s research collaboration with the Competence Center for Maternity care, Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Copenhagen University Hospital, Hvidovre. I am particularly interested in MBI´s for psychosocially vulnerable groups and in making MBI´s accessible via the healthcare system. I have experience with research - and project management.
As an Associate Professor at Danish Center for Mindfulness, my research focuses on mental health, mindfulness, and compassion. I explore the potential of mindfulness- and compassion-based interventions for mental health promotion and prevention. Specifically, I investigate their feasibility, effects, mechanisms of action, and limitations across different contexts.
With a background in nursing, a Master’s in Public Health (MPH), and a PhD, I have been engaged in intervention research since 2009.
