My Story
Courage and creativity have always guided me. My journey has been shaped by a lifetime of challenges — physical, emotional, and spiritual — which I have transformed into growth, wisdom, and embodied leadership.
Early courage
At 12, I joined an international youth exchange to the U.S., living with an American family for five weeks. This experience opened my world and laid the foundation for confidence, adaptability, and intercultural understanding.
International career & body-based leadership
I built a professional life in Los Angeles as a personal trainer, massage therapist, and fitness instructor, supporting individuals in building strength, resilience, and trust in their bodies.
Healing arts & embodied wisdom
I trained in Qigong, acupuncture, and Traditional Chinese Medicine, including clinical practice in China. Over the years, I have led numerous groups in Qigong and meditation and supported individuals and couples through embodied, transformational work.
Leadership, coaching & facilitation
For many years, I have coached individuals, couples, entrepreneurs, and senior leaders, and facilitated groups in personal leadership, presence, and inner transformation — both privately and in group settings.
Life journeys & retreats
I have lived and worked in Spain, the U.S., Norway, and Scandinavia. My work has included leading retreats in Sweden, holding responsibility for Qigong, acupuncture, and massage at health retreats in Spain, and working at a health home in Norway.
Deep inner work & integration
Alongside my professional path, I have completed extensive personal leadership and transformational programs and engaged in long-term coaching and therapeutic processes — not as methods collected, but as lived integration.
Mystical & creative expression
My life has also been shaped by profound experiences with nature and creativity — including swimming with a wild dolphin in Norway, witnessing meaningful synchronicities, healing animals and people, and expressing through art, painting, theatre, movement, and voice.
All of this informs how I hold space today — grounded, intuitive, embodied, and deeply respectful of each individual path.
Take a deep breath, place your hands on your heart, and feel the miracles of life.

Take a Deep Breath
Take a deep breath
Close your fantastic eyes
Put your hands on your beautiful heart
Focus on your heart
Listen, feel, look, smell, taste, experience the miracles of life
Examine a tree trunk
Look up at the sky vault
We are a part of this incredible universe
-with love,
Gunilla Henriksson
This is Anacaona and Me
Who was Anacaona?
Anacaona lived in the late 15th century on the island of Hispaniola — today Haiti and the Dominican Republic.
She was a Taíno leader, poet, and spiritual authority, known for her wisdom, creativity, and heart-led leadership rooted in nature and community.
Her name, Anacaona, is often translated as “Golden Flower.”
Today, she is remembered as a symbol of feminine dignity, Indigenous wisdom, and leadership grounded in presence rather than force.
Her image honors a way of leading that listens — to people, nature, and life itself.
My Vision
I believe no one should have to choose between outer success and inner wellbeing. My vision is a world where sensitive, soulful people — leaders, seekers, and visionaries — reconnect with their true essence. Where they create authentic relationships, sustainable impact, and a life rooted in freedom, presence, and connection to nature.
