Project Managers
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.
