Dr Siri Mature aged mother of one, raised in the safety of a small mountain village in Norway. Many good, but also many not so good.

Embodies the Scandinavian ethos of balance, simplicity, and resilience, encouraging individuals to embrace challenges and grow stronger—physically, mentally, and socially. Started to travel around Europe at 19 years old enquiring many life skills. Now as an Allied Health Professional (Exercise Physiologist) with a PhD in Sports Science, I'm passionate about supporting and teaching you how to devel

op and use your physical strength and courage to increase your independence, improve your health, wellbeing and safety in everyday life. I also have a personal and professional interest in Martial Arts. As a health professional (Exercise Physiologist), I draw upon the principles of Martial Arts as part of a holistic program to increase your independence, health, wellbeing and safety.

There’s a moment in training where something shifts.
It stops being about techniques….and starts being about feeling safe in your own body again.
Learning where you’re vulnerable.
Learning how to move, protect, and respond - without panic.

That’s what my work is about.

Not fighting.
Restoring safety.

This is why I’m building Scanda Spirit - to support research and programs that use movement and martial arts as a tool for protection, recovery, and confidence.

Something Powerful Is About to Begin

Coming soon: a project where martial arts meets fall prevention. Where courage is trained one safe fall at a time.

In just a few weeks, we launch Fall for Life, a research-backed program designed to teach older veterans how to fall with control, drawing from Ukemi, the martial art of falling safely. Ethical approval number: 2024/142

In collaboration with Southern Cross University and the Veterans Health Association, this 5-week feasibility study adapts traditional martial arts techniques into a practical, empowering intervention for older adults.

But this is more than just fall prevention.
It’s about restoring confidence, control, and connection, the things we often lose with age, and the very things we can reclaim through intentional movement.

Courage. Skill. Safety. Reconnection.
That’s the spirit behind every project I do, and Fall for Life is no exception.

I can’t wait to share what unfolds.

🌟 Hey friends! Let's talk about an amazing way to boost our mental health and get our bodies moving at the same time – somatic workouts! 🧘‍♀️💪

🌈 Somatic workouts are all about connecting our mind and body through intentional movement. They're not just your typical exercise routine; they're a holistic approach to wellness that can leave you feeling refreshed, rejuvenated, and ready to take on the world! 🌍✨

💃 Whether it's through dance, yoga, martial arts or even gentle stretching, somatic workouts allow us to release tension, increase body awareness, and tap into our inner joy. It's like a magical journey where we get to explore the incredible capabilities of our bodies while nurturing our mental well-being. 🌺🌟

🌞 The best part? Somatic workouts are all about embracing our uniqueness and celebrating what makes us who we are. There's no right or wrong way to move – it's all about finding what feels good for YOU! So, let's ditch the pressure of perfection and let our bodies guide us towards a happier, healthier state of mind. 🌈💃

🌿 Not only do somatic workouts help reduce stress and anxiety, but they also promote better sleep, improve focus, and boost our overall mood. It's like a natural mood-enhancer that we can access anytime, anywhere! 🌙✨

🌟 So, let's make a promise to ourselves today – let's prioritize our mental health and incorporate somatic workouts into our lives. Whether it's a quick dance party in the living room or a peaceful yoga session in the park, let's embrace the power of movement and give our minds the love and care they deserve. 💖🧠

🌈 Remember, we're all in this together, and together we can create a positive ripple effect of well-being. Let's share our favorite somatic workouts, encourage each other, and spread the joy of movement! 🌟💃
