About

Hi, I'm Gísli.

I'm a trainer, bodyworker, coach and astrologer, but mostly someone who is endlessly curious about people: how we move, how we feel, and what becomes possible when we understand ourselves a little better.

My story

One curiosity, many paths.

I've been moving since I was a boy: running, martial arts, strength. As a young man I spent long stretches travelling and living in China, India, Thailand and Austria, where I found tai chi, muay thai, yoga and Eastern philosophy.

I became a personal trainer, then started working with my hands in massage and bodywork. That's where I learned that the body often says more than words do.

Then came astrology, after a reading that hit home in a way I didn't expect. It became my second great passion and another language for understanding people. Coaching and healing followed later.

Different paths, but always the same question: how can we understand ourselves better, physically, mentally and emotionally?

The body came first. It still does.

The staircase

“Again? Another best experience of your life?”

Friends and family sometimes tease me like that. And yes, it's true. I see life as a staircase: every new experience is one more step up, and from there I see something I couldn't see before. I'm still climbing, too.

What I believe

How I work

Nothing is broken

I don't start by looking for what's wrong. I try to understand what's happening, and what might become possible.

You lead the way

I'm not an authority over your life. I can walk part of the way with you, but the path is always yours.

Curiosity over answers

I'm still learning, from every person I meet. And I laugh a lot along the way.
