About Nathalie – Your Leader and Inspiration
In addition to our trained running group leaders, it is our founder, Nathalie, who will guide the training sessions and deliver the lectures throughout the weekend. Nathalie is the founder of VarjeSteg and has an extensive background as a licensed physiotherapist, certified running coach, movement coach, and postural trainer. Her passion is to help people move the way the body was designed to – with pain-free movement and joy as the ultimate goals.
With her deep expertise in movement patterns and sustainable running technique, Nathalie has inspired many to discover the path to pain-free running. She has completed distances of up to 100 miles (160 kilometers) and understands what it takes for the body to perform without overloading.

Nathalie has also been interviewed multiple times by outlets such as Göteborgs-Posten, P4 Göteborg, and Svenska Dagbladet, where she has shared her insights on sustainable running and pain-free movement. Her passion for helping others grow as runners and as individuals shines through in everything she does – something you’ll experience firsthand during our running weekend.
