Each session is held one-on-one, allowing for full presence, safety, and attunement.<\/p>\n                <p>The ritual takes place in Leirfjord, Norway, in a secluded and quiet setting far from crowds and daily distractions. The space is held in close connection with nature and the powerful presence of the sea, supporting deep regulation, grounding, and reconnection with the body.<\/p>\n            <\/div>\n            \n            <div class=\"detail-item\">\n                <h3>Limited Availability<\/h3>\n                <p>I intentionally offer a very limited number of sessions \u2014 no more than 11 per year.

This helps me ensure the process is safe, supportive, and aligned with your needs.<\/p>\n                <p>I will always approach any situation with care and find the best way to honor both your process and the integrity of the ritual.<\/p>\n                <p>It is best to cancel the session at least 3 days in advance.
