Founding Director of Aima Instituttet and a founding member of the Oasis Ecovillage project and Avnø højskole.
The Health and Happiness studies is developed by Kristiane Ravn Frost to make her comprehensive approach to available for everybody at an affordable pricing.
Her own story is that her body fell apart due to stress at the age of 21. She couldn’t get a diagnosis from her medical doctor (stress wasn’t really invented those days). After 1, 5 years in agony, she learned that she could get her body-systems back in balance with food, lifestyle and meditation.
This was such an enlightening experience that she changed the course of her life and left the study of Mathematical-Economics at Århus University shortly before her masters degree to study food and lifestyle at the Kushi Institute of London.
When she began counseling and teaching in 1982, she quickly realized, that it took more than a miraculous healing for people to be motivated to hold onto a healthy lifestyle. To support people in changing negative habits and mindset, she developed a new generation of dynamic, systematic and in-depth tools in 2001. The AIMA, methods is based on her deep spiritual experiences and capable of removing subliminal programming, such as negative self images and old patterns. Once they are gone a person naturally returns to their innate positive and proactive mindset.
Kristiane has mostly been teaching in Norway, Sweden, Denmark and USA.
