My story

My name is Elisabeth Rosenbrand, and I grew up in the small town of Luleå, in the north of 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. Then came COVID, which allowed me to dive deep into studies on codependency, nervous system regulation, attachment theory, and stress responses.

Through this, I gained a deep understanding of why some people, including myself, struggle with building healthy relationships. This journey led me to leave my long-term career as a project manager in the cultural industry, and instead focus on coaching and counselling.

I am based in Berlin, but I primarily work online, offering services in English and Swedish. I hold a diploma in coaching from the International Coaching Federation and am currently studying psychology at Linnaeus University, Kalmar, Sweden.

Oh, and in my spare time, I spend quite a bit of time trying to befriend the crows in my local park, so when I call myself a crow lady, I really mean it.

The Crow Lady Philosophy

I believe that the key to change is understanding the mechanisms behind your own and others' reactions and patterns. When you also add the right tools for dealing with difficult emotions, situations that seem impossible today will feel so much more manageable, and change will follow almost automatically.

There's nothing wrong with you, and you're definitely not alone in what you're going through. We've all had experiences in the past that shape how we cope with life. Unfortunately, the same coping strategies can sometimes stop us from building healthy and lasting relationships.

I am passionate about the latest research on the nervous system and its profound impact on our wellbeing. My goal is to help you understand the language of your nervous system and support you in decoding and making sense of your experiences. I practice trauma awareness, meaning I am mindful of how trauma can influence our responses to various situations. Additionally, I integrate attachment theory into my work, ensuring that we address your needs from a holistic perspective.

I don’t believe in pushing you to reach your full potential. I believe in helping you where you are. You are in control of how much you want to be challenged and how fast you want to move forward. Maybe you could actually accomplish more by slowing down? Maybe you need to stand still for a while? There is a misunderstanding that coaching is all about pushing you to become your best self, but that’s not how I work.

I’m more interested in helping people live their best and most authentic lives. I want to help people build fulfilling relationships, with others, as well as with themselves.

I like to help you look at the uncomfortable stuff. Together we’ll explore your patterns, and take steps that are small enough to be manageable. In the direction YOU want to go.

My role is not to give you advice, but to ask questions that will make you look inwards. I will help you stop and listen to the answers, and to navigate whatever comes up. It’s a team effort, and to share it with you is both incredibly fun and very humbling.
