Behind Gertruds Universe
Jeg hedder Helene, men da jeg var lille kaldte min venindes far mig for Gertrud og dengang synes jeg egentlig det var fjollet. Men da jeg skulle vælge et navn som dækker ansigtsmaling, glimmer og ansigtskunst var jeg ikke i tvivl. Gertruds Univers opstod og da beslutningen var taget føltes det helt rigtigt.
My friend’s father is also an entrepreneur and has always been an important role model in my life. He showed me how things happen through courage and action. For seven years during my youth, I worked at his restaurant and watched from the sidelines as he launched new projects. I am still close friends with his daughter – a friendship that began when we were nine years old and met in school. Today, I am the godmother to her two children.
My greatest creative inspiration is my mother. She paved the way from a very early age. Throughout my childhood, she explored all kinds of creative projects and was never afraid to perform or try something new. She would dress up, write songs, and make people laugh. Once, she even created a “horse costume” for a performance – my father and uncle were inside, with my cousin riding on top. She was also the one who took me to the circus and made sure I experienced my very first face painting. She has been my starting point in life – someone I’ve mirrored in finding my own path with Gertrud’s Universe.
In 2023, I became a certified children’s yoga teacher, allowing me to work more deeply with children and better understand the needs of the body. Children’s yoga is a newer part of my journey, but it is just as exciting as face painting and glitter because it offers something truly special. In many ways, it connects naturally with what I already do: children’s yoga includes themes such as circus, glitter, and friendship. It incorporates props, yoga poses, and plenty of free movement and expression – all the natural movements that children love. There are also sensory elements like scents and chimes. It’s a wonderful way to create a safe and playful space – a small community for children, whether for a single session or a longer course.
Through my own inner journey, which began in 2016, I became curious about myself and life. It started with a course and a particular book that would prove to be very meaningful for my path. One step led to another, and since then I have attended numerous meditation courses, silent retreats, and spent extended time at a meditation centre. Later, I began facilitating meditations myself and assisting at various meditation festivals. It means a lot to me that I have walked this path myself and continue to grow and evolve. A few years ago, I discovered children’s yoga, which resonated deeply with my experience working with children. This led me to become certified in 2023 with EmmaMaria Vincent. Children’s yoga can be booked as an add-on or as individual sessions.
