In my early twenties shortly after graduation, I set up my first company, Mannraektin (Human Potential) in my native Iceland, offering a variety of human devopment courses, primarily focusing on workshops and products developed by myself for treating food addiction, inspired by the internationally successful 12-step programme of Overeaters Anonymous.
After a few years spent in film, TV and graphic design, my next significant project was to co-found the publishing company Voxtur (Growth) for publishing human potential books. The first task of the new company was to translate and publish the international best-seller "Men are from Mars,Women are from Venus" by the American relationship expert Dr John Gray PhD. This book broke new ground in Icelandic book-publishing history by being the first self-help book to compete in the Icelandic general best-seller list. It went straight to number one on the overall national best-seller list in Iceland 1995. The next success was translating and publish the tiny life-transforming book "The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success" by the internationally renowned spiritual guide Deepak Chopra. This was also a significant success, achieving number four on the overall best-seller list in 1996. This is when I left Iceland to study humanistic psychotherapy at Spectrum in London, where I completed the Spectrum Counselling Course and graduated from the One Year Course in Psychotherapy. After completing three years of intensive psychotherapy training, I remained a member of the Spectrum post-graduate continued education programme, as well as being a member of an on-going Men's Group and a couples' Group at Spectrum, until late 2008 when I moved to Cape Town, SA.
While training at Spetrum, I also trained and qualified as a Davis dyslexia facilitator in 2002, and then successfully introduced the Davis methods in my native Iceland, where the Davis methods are now the leading approach in dealing with learning difficulties, and Davis Learning Strategies have been widely introduced in primary schools. In 2004 I founded Gifted Dyslexic, which is now beginning to grow into the same structure as I set up in Iceland, a centre and a nationwide booking agency for Davis programmes.

I am passionate about promoting the Davis methods on a national level in South Africa. I am also currently engaged in developing a new approach to teaching numeracy and fundamental maths, based on the Davis approach. You can view my South African page here.
