Addiction Broke My Heart. Now I Help Women Rebuild Theirs

You didn’t come this far to stop

You go woman, I know you can

★★★★★

Great that you’re here - I’m guessing you want to know a little more about who I am. Today I am back, full of life, direction and purpose. But it’s important that you know: it wasn’t always like this. My healing didn’t happen overnight. It was messy, painful, and slow. But it happened. And I’m living proof that change is possible—even when everything feels impossible.

My Story

I grew up in Denmark with an alcoholic mother who eventually took her own life in the misery of her addiction.
So yes, I know the pain of addiction.

And of course, it didn’t stop there.

I married an alcoholic, escaped to India for three years with my son, fell in love with a businessman addicted to cocaine, then moved to Sweden and married a farmer—who turned out to be a sex addict.
Seventeen years later, we divorced—and he’s now in treatment.
Got the picture?

Down, but not out

I’ve been at rock bottom—crying on the kitchen floor, totally heartbroken, in my tiny apartment with my teenage daughter.

And all the while, I was working as a successful addiction consultant for Tetra Pak, one of Sweden’s biggest companies.
I had helped hundreds of addicts get clean.
And yet, I couldn’t help the man I loved.

The shame? Unbearable.
The defeat? Brutal.
Addiction had won—again.

So yes, as you’ve probably guessed by now: I know the pain of loving an addict. I’ve lived it.

My mission is simple

I want to give you the insight I wish I had.
I want to help you find clarity when everything feels foggy.
And I want to support you in making clear, clever, soul-strong decisions—for you, and for your children (if you have them).

I truly believe you’re here for a reason.
And I believe in you.

Let’s get you unstuck.

Love

About Ellen

"Just leave him"
Not helpful, is it?

I know you’re a smart, powerful woman.
You don’t need pressure - you need clarity.
I’m here to help you see clearly and choose what’s right for you.

(Unless you or your kids are in danger—you leave now.)

All of this experience—professional and personal—has shaped the way I support women today: with clarity, compassion, and no sugar-coating.
