Health coaching is a collaborative journey that empowers clients to understand their body and cultivate sustainable habits. It focuses on lifestyle pillars including nutrition, exercise, sleep, stress management, and emotional and mental wellbeing to help clients achieve their unique health goals, without creating strict diet plans or complicated protocols.

afterorigin coaching is for all women, regardless of age, who are committed and open to making positive changes in their lives. Whether you're seeking to optimize your health, achieve hormonal balance, find symptom relief, or simply desire a deeper connection with your body, this coaching is for you. We'll discover your path together, even if you don't yet know your exact goals or the underlying problems.

Clients often experience significant improvements such as lowered inflammation, regular menstrual cycles, pain-free periods, improved fertility, more energy and vitality, and balanced weight. Many also report overall contentment with their body and health, feeling more connected and empowered.

afterorigin coaching takes a whole-person approach, recognizing how everything in your body and life is interconnected. We uniquely focus on working with your body's natural rhythms, especially your menstrual cycle and female biology. We are not a workout coach, nor do we provide strict meal plans. Other care often looks at things in isolation or disregards our cyclical nature and the shifts that each phase and life season brings with being a woman.

The timeline for results varies as each journey is unique and depends on individual commitment and consistency. However, many clients begin to notice positive changes within a few weeks of consistent effort and practice.

If you're feeling overwhelmed by health issues, curious about hormone balance, confused by all the ‘advice’ from the internet, or simply want to enhance your wellbeing, you're ready. Coaching is about your journey, and we're here to support you every step of the way.

Coaching sessions are primarily conducted in English. If you're uncomfortable with English, I can do my best to conduct the session in Norwegian.

afterorigin coaching is a powerful partnership, but it's important to understand its scope. We are not medical doctors, licensed dietitians, or personal trainers, so we do not diagnose medical conditions, prescribe medication, create strict meal plans, or design intense workout regimens. Our role is not to tell you what to do or hand you complicated protocols. Instead, we empower you to uncover your own solutions and integrate sustainable habits that work for your unique body and life. We complement, rather than replace, the care of your medical professionals.

Sofie is the founder of afterorigin. Her expertise as a Women's Health Coach is rooted in both personal experience and professional knowledge, with a comprehensive understanding of female physiology, nutrition, and lifestyle.

The afterorigin philosophy is holistic and personalized, focusing on each client's unique body. It combines evidence-based nutrition, mindful lifestyle adjustments, and self-care practices, tailored specifically for individual needs.

We start with an exploration of the client's unique situation and life, leading to a personalized plan. Sessions involve reviewing progress, making adjustments, and providing continuous support to achieve goals. This isn't about complicated protocols or telling you what to do, but about integrating simple, fundamental things that have a big impact on how you feel, making health approachable and sustainable.

We understand that many women have felt overlooked by conventional approaches, where "normal" test results or standard treatments unfortunately fail to see the big picture and how things connect across different body systems and lifestyle choices. afterorigin offers a fresh, personalized approach that honors your individual experience and helps you discover what truly resonates and creates lasting change. Your skepticism is welcome; let's explore it together.
