Who is Lulù?
I was born in Denmark to a Danish mother and Nigerian father and named ilolo. I spent most of my childhood in Nigeria and Australia. I went to many different schools, including a missionary boarding school, and a military boarding school. When I was 16, I moved back to Denmark on my own to study. Fast forward 35 years, I moved from Copenhagen to Abruzzo, Italy in December of 2022 and fell in love with this amazing part of Italy almost immediately. In December 2024 I came on a holiday to Sardinia, fell in love with this beautiful Island, its people, the wild nature and the weather. Sardinia is now HOME ♥️

I believe in
Simplicity+Effortlessness
Healing fully requires looking at all aspects of what is going on in the body, mind, heart and soul, mentally, emotionally, energetically and spiritually. We cannot fully heal one without addressing the others. Everything is connected.
I am in absolute awe of how amazing and resilient we all are, how we can all change our lives, with individually chosen practices, guidance and support, we CAN HEAL OURSELVES from most any dis - ease!!! Keeping it all simple makes for effortlessness and in turn empowers the commitment and consistency in practices needed for deep healing.
From my work in multiple professions and life lived, I have gained …
cultural intelligence
visual and creative intelligence
the powerful skill of mindful communication
the ability to build strong and authentic relationships
the talent of agility and versatility
exceptional organizational skills
an innate strength and ability to focus on important details and simlutaniously keep a birds-eye perspective.
I balance these skills with spiritualty and belief in the power and magic of the Universe. Authenticity and vulnerability are key to creating trust in the holding of space for others to heal.
Authenticity+Vulnerability
Kindness+Tenderness
I recognise that every single thing that I have experienced and have lived- and grown through both personally and professionally has brought me here. I am extremely conscious of the knocks we all experience in life.
I bring my core values of love, safety, creativity, simplicity, authenticity and autonomy into my work with clients. When we grow and nurture kindness, tenderness and compassion towards ourselves and others, magic starts to happen.
Calm+Safety
I believe in…
the profound connection between mind, body, heart and soul
the theory that trauma is stored in our bodies
the wisdom and amazing capacity of the body
in the power of the mind, perception, language, our choice of words
the power of being creative
the power of living intentionally
the power of following your dreams
the power of creating and seeking out magic in every day
Creating and nurturing feelings of calm and safety are undeniably important and absolutely essential to any healing journey and no healing work can be done without them.
My Own Journey
During most of my late 30s and 40s, I was experienced one health crisis after another. As soon as I had healed from one thing, something else would pop up, from adult acne, inflamation, concussion and neck injury, goiter, hyperthyroidism, insomnia, burnout and depression, migraines, allergies, mold sensitivities, multiple chemical sensitivity, back to insomnia, chronic fatigue, chronic pain, seriously impaired lung function, chronic inflamation, infections, to the second burnout, full blown menopause, another concussion and brain injury in September of 2020.
All the while I was still trying to be everything for everyone, the good daughter, sister, the amazing mother, Auntie Lulù, the awesome teacher, colleague, most of the time ignoring my own needs. All traumas, I thought I had healed years before, came to revisit. I had never addressed the physical aspect, I had worked through them in my mind, with years of therapy with brilliant therapists, but I had never released the traumas from my body.
Healing fully requires looking at all aspects of what is going on in the body, mind and soul. Mentally, energetically, emotionally, physically and spiritually
I have acquired a phenomenal amount of knowledge to draw from, through continuous study, research, reading and experiencing on myself so many different amazing healing practices over the last 15 years (just naming a few here: Energy Medicine, Yogic philosophy, The Mudras, Jin shin, Acupuncture, Chinese Reflexology, Qigong, Self-hypnosis, Vipassana meditation, Craniosacral therapy, Alkaline diet, Feldenkrais, Herbalism and the power of herbs, essential oils, Ayurveda, Floating, Reiki and T.R.E).
I found Reiki in 2020 which was nothing short of a miracle! This became my new number one go to for pain management
I moved to Italy in December of 2022 and was able to give my brain and my body the gift of time, rest and healing. I had resigned myself to living the rest of my life in pain, in some form or other and I was okay with that. I had also resigned myself to thinking I would always have low energy, needing to nap in the middle of the day, or sometimes twice. I moved to Italy to try and build a life I didn’t constantly yearn for a vacation from, a slow, calm and tender life. I am getting there, it is a daily choice, in any country, to wake up and choose slowness. To wake up and be awed by the world and the magic that is also here amongst everything else, the pure magic of just being alive.
I have experienced exceptional personal healing with T.R.E
With T.R.E I have healed the chronic pain I lived with for over 15 years. I have done so by focusing on releasing the trauma accumilated in my body over my life time. Three serious car accidents and persistent brain injury, abuse and maltreatment in childhood, culture shock, climate shock, traumatic birth experiences, divorce, burnout and more were still stored in my body. I have healed my brain completely of ALL symptoms from the last brain injury I sustained in 2020. I have healed my deeply rooted fears of the world. I have healed my body, mind, heart and soul to a degree that I never dreamed possible. I had resigned myself to the idea that I would never again be able to do so many things that brought me joy - horseback riding, driving, hiking, snorkeling and so much more. I recently went horseback riding in the mountains for three hours straight, and driving long distances is now my every day.
My monumental shifts came about with the combination of Reiki, a consistent T.R.E practice, addressing the emotional causes of the physical illness’, and reconnecting to and healing my heart
I feel deep gratitude for all the amazing women healers I have met who have guided me on my journey. Healing is ongoing, there is no final destination, this is why we are here. I too continue to grow, learn and heal, every single day. I learn from my guides, mentors and from all the beautiful people that I guide on their journeys.
Solo parenting my two amazing daughters who have grown into beautiful, intelligent, kind, strong and tender women, has been by far my greatest source of learning. Caring full time for my Dad, with my mum, brother and sister, in my parent’s home in the last months of his life before he died of prostate cancer gifted me, among many other things, a deep humbling.
I also need to give a very special thank you to all the children (many of whom are now grown ups and have their own children) who during my years as a teacher taught me so much about life and the world at large. I am forever grateful for each and every one of you ♥️
I am in awe of how amazing and resilient we are, how we can all change our lives, with individually chosen practices, guidance and support! I Believe we CAN HEAL OURSELVES from most any dis-ease
Healing myself with the help and guidance of multiple extraordinary, amazing mentors, practitioners and amazing practices, both spiritual and physical, educating myself, and working very closely, authentically and empathically with people, young as well as old, over the years has given me an exceptional amount of knowledge. I have brought all this knowledge together and created Lulù’s Healing Space, where I hold space and guide people of all ages on their own individual healing journey’s.
