Maja Skau-Olsen - Editorial Advisory Board

Before she started working with Rosen Method full time, Maja worked as a nurse and taught anatomy and physiology to students of health. She has been teaching anatomy and emotional anatomy to students of Rosen Method since 2004 in Denmark, and to Rosen practitioners since 2014, both in Denmark and abroad. Maja has a passionate interest in understanding how the body works, especially the musculoskeletal system, and how we can use that understanding as practitioners; both to get a better sense of our own bodies and to enhance our sessions in Rosen Method Bodywork. Maja was certified as a Rosen Method Bodywork practitioner in 2001 and Rosen Method Workshop Teacher in 2010. From 2014, she followed the international teacher’s training and was trained in Israel, England, Russia, USA and Denmark. In December 2016 she became a certified Rosen Method Bodywork teacher. As a teacher it is very important for Maja to support students to find their own way of allowing the work to come through them. Maja lives in Skanderborg, Denmark and sees clients both in Skanderborg and Copenhagen. Currently she is one of two co-owners of the Danish Rosen Method school. She is also a member of the faculty of the Rosen Method school in Russia and enjoys travelling and teaching in many countries. Maja is happy to support the work of the Rosen Method International Journal because she thinks it is very important that we all share our knowledge and experiences with each other. This way we become true students of Marion Rosen, who always learned from practice. Contact Maja at majaskau@gmail.com
