Ulf Sandström

Born in Colombia to Swedish diplomats, Ulf had an unusual upbringing that started in Cuba with close proximity to Fidel Castro through his father’s work and in 5 more countries. He experienced the social effects of Soviet ruled communism, military dictatorship, democracy and right wing oligarchy. Ulf was intrinsically exposed to the effects of both extreme wealth and poverty, from which he acquired a multitude of perspectives and cultural references.
Along the way he developed a fascination for similarities and differences in human interaction. As a musician he interacted with audiences all over the world: New Orleans, Cuba, India, China, Argentina, Europe, Borneo, Korea. From stage performance (over 6,000 gigs) to hypnosis, from hypnosis to tapping, from tapping to a number of modality changing techniques. From this to post-genocide Rwanda and Congo, finding new ways to resolve symptoms of stress and trauma, in the Peaceful Heart Network.
Ulf helps people who have spent years in therapy, or used medication to treat the surface of their PTS, trauma, stress, depression, phobia, or whatever condition they might have. Using his divergent expertise, Ulf will seek to unlock them from the root—sometimes in less than 7 minutes, sometimes in several sessions.


Workshop:

A workshop for beginners as well as advanced therapists and coaches interested in practical experiences from over a decade developing and using a holistic, safe and efficient way to approach transformation "bottom-up" and "top-down" in the words of Dr Bessel Van Der Kolk.

The combination of mental training with NeuroLinguistic Programming, hypnosis, Clean Language and somatic interventions like Tapping and Havening Techniques allows this also with very traumatized populations and in large groups.
