About the origin and founder of Health and Happiness

Kristiane Ravn Frost

Founding Director of Aima Instituttet. Founding member of the Oasis Ecovillage Project, which Avnø højskole is a part of.

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 invented those days). After one and a half year 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 it changed the course of her life. She 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. In 2001 she developed a new generation of dynamic, systematic and in-depth tools for personal transformation to support people in changing negative habits and mindset. The AIMA methods (modules 2 and 3) are based on her deep spiritual experiences and search of tools to recommend her students. They are 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 primarily been teaching in Norway, Sweden, Denmark and USA.
