No matter what life throws at you there is always a way through.

Hi, I'm Sigrún Hákonardóttir

This is my Story

Growing up it seemed like I was always in a hurry. It wasn't until I went into complete burnout (for the second time) that I really got to experience hands on how the mind/brain and body work. I have experienced the successful career, achieved the college degrees, the dream house, dream car, dream family... I have truly felt what it is like to "have it all", what it's like to lose what you poured your heart and soul to build, what it's like to be in the hamster wheel of life and what it is like to have no control of your body and mind. I relate to symptoms of neurodivergent even though I do not have a formal diagnostic. I have found systems and ways to function and they are all apart of my courses and plans. I also relate to symptoms of PTDS (feeling trapped in your mind and body) and what its like to live with and deal with chronic stress that effects not only how you sense your life but also your body. I've also felt what it is like to overcome what seems never ending and hopeless, what its like to get yourself out of the "gutter" life throws at you.

Now I’ve turned my knowledge and experience into online services that is easily accessible and broken them down to fit you. Even though we have not walked in the same shoes we probably relate on more levels than one. Register for my organizational courses to build a good foundations (organize your home - it effects you more than you know, get your habits in check and set up an overall system), go straight to a course related to exercising the body and mind. Get a workout plan that ranges from low intensity beginner workouts, to POWER higher intensity at home workouts, to gym workout, to pregnancy workouts and build a strong foundational core after pregnancy. Registers for meditations, a nutritional guide and food planning for busy parents or course for your inner self such as setting boundaries, finding your compassionate self, finding your safe space and more. If you are thinking about starting your own business then check out my courses on Business (what to expect, how to start...).

A little more personal side of me. I am a wife and together my husband and I have three kids. I am an Icelandic-American so bilingual and dual citizen and lived in both countries. I went into college finding a safe pathway so finished my undergraduate in Business Administration. Shortly after I finished I had my first crash (panic attack, anxiety, depression, a mini version of burnout compared to the burnout I had 12 years later).That lead me to wanting to work with people so I registered first for nursing and dropping out because I can't do shots! Then I registered for a diploma in Professional Organizing and finished, tried it out as an internship but did not have enough confidence to go for it as my own business. Registered for a course on starting my own business and still did not have the courage to go for it. So I registered for a masters in Career and Guidance Counselling as well as courses and certifications in Personal Training and Group Fitness Training. I started teaching group fitness classes 2014 since it was my passion and has been since I started working out in 2008. It wasn't until a car crashed into a week after I finished my masters in 2016 that I went all in with training and made it as my career. From then I started my own company, started training pre- and postnatal classes after receiving my certification in such training. The training blew up and there were constantly 30-70 women on a waitlist to register so I used the opportunity, opened up my own gym in Covid. All in all we had over 200 women registered in our women's only gym. I had a few staff members and coaches working for me. I was living out my dream up until after my third pregnancy when it all became too much, I ended up having a nervous breakdown and a 2 year recovery from that on and off working.

Now I am offering online training and coaching as well as writing my first non-fiction book. But I have also designed my own products that were water bottles, a book with quotes and a self-help journal.

I am so excited for you to be here. I know that you will be able to find something that is helpful and of value to you. Start off with any of my re-start challenges, they will really get you going and lets take it from there!
