As an Associate Professor at Danish Center for Mindfulness, my research focuses on mental health, mindfulness, and compassion. I explore the potential of mindfulness- and compassion-based interventions for mental health promotion and prevention. Specifically, I investigate their feasibility, effects, mechanisms of action, and limitations across different contexts.

With a background in nursing, a Master’s in Public Health (MPH), and a PhD, I have been engaged in intervention research since 2009.

My main responsibility is research:
