About miki

In deeply troubled times I mentor young parents towards everyday vitality, so their children can grow up with a deep sense of belonging.

I started in 2013, but it has changed several times since, and I've had to prioritize other work. I'm now returning to it as my main focus, needing for the business to be my main source of income within six months or less.

My work with clients is a wide span, and mostly I work with fathers, though i'm open to anyone interested. I deeply enjoy one on one sessions with clients who are nature-connected, community minded and artistic.

I do my best work when the session is full of improvisation, creativity, spontaneity.

I tend to dislike lists, three steps towards this or that, etc. Sometimes it's emotional work, othertimes it's pracitcal work.

Most of what I do is support the parents emotional vitality, so they have the resources to parent in the way they feel is most appropriate.

I can't seem to make a reasonable income from this business, and I don't know quite how. My span is too large, it seems.

I have started putting out videos once a week, to experiment and see what draws an interest. In the videos I speak a lot about different aspects of raising children. So there is a mismatch between what I communicate in the videos and blogs (focus on the child), and the one-to-one sessions, where the focus is on the parents vitality.

My work is based on my life experience with children, facilitation, mentorship, parenting, nature awareness, etc. I am not a therapist, and I sometimes feel unsure of what is ok for me to speak to.

I live in rural Sweden, and work sometimes gets lonely. I would value a lot of different perspectives on what I'm offering, and how best to be of service, and find the parents who are looking for what I offer.

Until recently, I lived on a farm with my family, where we grew vegetables and raised animals. Today I tend the wild, run a few rites of passage programs, organize a communal gathering or two a year, and offer a monthly nature-awareness program to a group of eight boys.
