My story
My name is Elisabeth Rosenbrand, and I grew up in the small town of Luleå in northern Sweden. A few years ago, I went through a breakup that set me on a thorough and long process of healing and self-discovery, challenging everything I thought I knew about myself and relationships. When the pandemic hit, I used that time to dive deep into studies on attachment theory, codependency, nervous system regulation, and stress physiology, not just as concepts, but as lived experiences.
That journey led me to leave my long-time career as a project manager in the cultural sector and fully commit to this work. Since then, I’ve built a tailored education around the areas I find most vital to relational wellbeing, combining formal training, academic coursework, and years of self-directed study.
I hold a diploma in coaching from the International Coaching Federation (ICF), and have completed university-level coursework in psychology at Linnaeus University in Sweden. My studies have included cognitive psychology, neuropsychology, positive psychology, and clinical applications of attachment theory. Alongside this, I’ve spent nearly a decade immersed in independent research and training through books, lectures, and online programs, bridging the science with real-life insight.
Today, I work with individuals and couples to help them break unhealthy patterns and build secure, connected relationships: with themselves and with others. I divide my time between Berlin and Malmö but work primarily online, in both English and Swedish.
Oh, and in my spare time, I spend quite a bit of time befriending the crows in my local parks, so when I call myself a crow lady, I really mean it.
The Crow Lady Philosophy
Most traditional approaches work only with your conscious mind, trying to change your thought patterns and intentional choices, but missing the part that actually runs the show: your nervous system. Until you address the underlying biology, no amount of affirmations or cognitive tools will stick.
But working only with the symptoms without looking at the root does not lead to lasting healing. The same patterns will keep showing up, and that can leave you feeling like you are failing, or like you should be able to act better by now.
My work brings both parts together. We work with the body so you can learn how to notice triggers, regulate yourself, and come back to a steadier state instead of getting pulled straight into old reactions. We also look at the deeper patterns underneath, so you can understand why you get triggered in the first place.
This combination is powerful because it gives you both self trust and self compassion. Self trust comes from learning how to handle the moment when you get triggered. Self compassion comes from understanding why the pattern is there. Together, they help you stay more grounded and act more intentionally.
