About — Cecilie Løvestam

Hi, I’m Cecilie

I’m passionate about sharing the science of well-being in ways that feel practical, embodied, and kind.

I’m a yogi, a well-being practitioner, a “Norwegian New Yorker” in Oslo, and a dark chocolate & tea enthusiast.

My work blends psychology and yoga to help people find calm, clarity, and connection through 1:1 sessions, online programs, retreats, and events.

My Expertise

Positive Psychology

Positive Psychology is the scientific study of well-being and human flourishing on individual, group, and organizational levels. I bring these insights into practical ways of supporting people in feeling calm, connected, and well.
Yoga

Yoga is a holistic practice that integrates body, mind, and breath. With roots in ancient Indian traditions, it offers tools for cultivating presence, awareness, and self-understanding. Through movement, rest, and reflection, yoga helps us reconnect with ourselves.
Trauma-Informed Practices

I’m committed to offering all my services with a trauma-informed approach and to making my work accessible to individuals with different backgrounds and experiences.

Individualized Support. I believe well-being is deeply personal. I draw from positive psychology, yoga, and trauma-informed practices to create a tailored experience for each person I work with.
Authentic Connection. I bring a relaxed, relatable, and strengths-based approach to my work. Deep listening and genuine connection are at the heart of everything I do.
Curiosity & Growth. I value learning and curiosity. I’m committed to lifelong learning and staying up to date on the latest research and insights in my fields of expertise.
Inclusivity & Awareness. I value inclusivity and accessibility. As a straight, cis, white woman, I acknowledge my privileges and limitations, and I’m committed to learning from individuals with different identities and lived experiences so I can offer the most supportive, respectful space possible.

I’m obsessed with dark chocolate and enjoy some chocolate pretty much every day!
I have 2 younger sisters and I’m frequently told that I’m giving “big sister energy.”
One of the “most Norwegian” things about me, is probably that I’ve been skiing my whole life. As soon as I could walk, my parents put cross-country skis on my feet!
I love big city vibes! I lived in New York for almost 7 years, from age 20 to 27. I feel like New York made me who I am today, and I still consider myself a New Yorker.
I’m a very curious person, and I’m all about having new experiences and trying new things, whether that is trying out a new group fitness class format, food I haven’t tasted before, or traveling and exploring a new culture.
To me, there’s nothing more comforting that a cup of tea, and I enjoy my tea all day, every day!
