Embodying the Unmasked Self

.

I believe that everything in the universe is made of energy, and that our true power lies in aligning with this flow. Yet, often, layers of conditioning, expectation, and past experiences create masks that block this vital connection, dimming our light and limiting our potential.

Hi, I’m Ástriðúr (also known as Astrid).

My life's work, guided by the spirit of Aloha—love, presence, and deep respect for the body’s innate wisdom—is dedicated to helping you shed these masks and return to your inherent wholeness. Rooted in self-love and energy awareness, I weave together breath, sound, movement, and intuitive touch to support your healing, alignment, and the blossoming of your authentic, unmasked self.

My Own Unmasking Journey

Like many, I spent years navigating the world wearing various masks – trying to fit in, meet expectations, or protect myself from perceived vulnerability. I learned to hide parts of myself, believing they were too much, not enough, or simply unacceptable. This created a disconnect – a feeling of being separate from my true essence and the vibrant energy I knew was possible.

My path to becoming Ástriðúr, the guide I am today, was a profound process of unmasking. It involved courageously looking at my own conditioning, listening deeply to my body's whispers, and reclaiming the parts of myself I had hidden away. Practices like dearmouring, breathwork, tantra and kundalini bodywork were instrumental in helping me peel back these layers, heal old wounds, and finally feel safe enough to be truly seen, in my full light and shadow. This journey home to myself ignited my passion to support others on their own path of liberation.

My work is a soft yet powerful invitation to shed the masks, balance your inner feminine and masculine energies, clear energetic blockages, and reconnect with your truth. I believe that when we align with the universal flow of energy – the energy that flows freely when we are unmasked – we awaken our creative power, deepen our self-love, and open the door to transformation from within.

My approach is integrative and heart-led, honoring the wisdom of the mind (IQ), emotions (EQ), and body (SQ) as essential guides in the unmasking process. I’m here to help you embrace all parts of yourself—your light, your shadows, your strength, your softness—and show up fully as who you truly are, without the need for masks.

Foundations of my guidance:

Body as Truth-Teller
The body holds our deepest truths—often before the mind understands. I return to it as my compass, listening for the wisdom beneath words.

Reclaiming Intuition
Unmasking is coming home to your inner voice. Beneath the noise of conditioning, my intuition was always there—just waiting for me to trust it again.

Nervous System & Safety
True vulnerability needs safety. Through breath, grounding, and clear consent, I create space where my body feels safe enough to soften and be real.

Emotional Alchemy
Emotions are not problems—they're energy. I invite them to move, speak, and transform. This is where freedom lives.

My approach is grounded in consent and self-development, creating a safe container for your transformation.

Through breath, sound and movement, I hold space and offer guidance as you navigate these foundations and courageously embark on your own Unmasking Journey. I help you peel away the layers that block love from flowing freely into your life, guiding you to deepen your connection with your true self—beyond roles, expectations, and societal norms. Together, we'll unlock your authentic essence and empower you to embrace your worth with confidence, living fully unmasked.

Whether you’re healing, creating, or simply remembering your essence, I hold sacred space for your unfolding. I walk beside you as you return home to yourself and step into the life your soul came here to live.

Love is the key to unmasking. Let’s unlock it together.
