Guro Ellingsen
A returned Stavanger local, experienced traveler in the world as most know it, and an experienced traveler within the holotropic realms and other non-ordinary states of consciousness. Guro has had a lifelong interest in holistic ways of life and has a seemingly unquenching curiosity when it comes to mind-body practices and psycho-spirituality. Before mentioned interests has led her on journeys around the world and introduced her to practices like, amongst others; yoga, meditation, and holotropic breathwork, that has become an important part of her life. Guro happened upon breathwork by chance, or perhaps fate rather, and has since her very first meeting with the mat (where the breathwork takes place) felt its transformative and healing effect. This led her to the path of undertaking the training to become a facilitator, wanting to pass on the experience of Holotropic Breathwork® to others who might benefit from it. Guro is a certified Holotropic Breathwork Facilitator, and is passionate about providing safe containers and support for healing and growth through non-ordinary states of consciousness.
