about me

I love my job as a nurse, and I feel that it is my calling in life to help people when they are at their most vulnerable – not feeling healthy or being their physical best. I was trained as a Nursing Specialist; and I have been working ever since.  I truly enjoy helping all my clients to reach their health goals or attend to their health demands. To this day, my whole heart is in it.

I have been working for a big healthcare national company before and it has always been my dream to become self-employed in my profession. I feel that I can do my best work as a nurse when I put my patients first and treat them as whole individuals, and not just attending to their illness or handicaps. However, it is difficult to do in a big corporate environment. I am looking forward to my future customers, who will be pleasantly surprised by my commitment and attention to details that I put forth in my work. Together we will find a solution based on your personal needs, resources and designed according to your wishes, concerns, and personal goals.

why Omsorg-private care

When I came up with the name of my own company, it was important to me to create a connection to private healthcare without the use of the word Spitex, which has become a synonym with the in-home care in Switzerland. It was challenging at first, but then I thought about my roots that connect me to Denmark. In Danish, “Omsorg” means care and support. And that is exactly what I wanted to do in my company – to provide you with Care and Support. And this how the name “OMSORG – Private Care” was born.
The beauty of this name is that Omsorg is also somehow understood in other languages.
