Who am I?

I live in Lidingö, grew up here on the island with a small-town feel. At the age of 20 I went to Milan in Italy to work as a model. Met many people and traveled the world. I stayed in Italy for 18 years and had my first son. After 17 years back again in Sweden and living 150 meters from where I grew up. I am remarried and had my second son, now 9 years old. In 2019 I find out that I have breast cancer. In 2020, in the middle of the Pandemic, I was going through treatments and surgeries. This new experience has given me a new strength mentally, love for life and not least for myself. My body has had to put up with a lot, so exercise is the medicine now. The experience also became a book called; “When life turns", a fight against cancer”. A book I wish I had to read when I received my cancer news, uncertain and frightening. A book that can give an insight into what can happen, a friend as support. I like to write, paint pictures (has had art exhibitions), music, I practice meditation and yoga or pilates every day, play tennis, love to be with my family and stay at our country house in Roslagen archipelago, close to the sea and nature.
