Meet Seena

We recently connected with Seena and have shared our conversation below.

Hi Seena, really happy you were able to join us today and we’re looking forward to sharing your story and insights with our readers. Let’s start with the heart of it all – purpose. How did you find your purpose?

I found my purpose by following my own artistic and healing journey. My favorite thing about performing is that I’m able to offer a total vibe change and healing to the audience, using my voice. In addition to this, by working with my own energy field and nervous system, I discovered how powerful somatic and energetic work can be—not just for me, but for everyone. That realization led me to create Seena Energetics in New York, where I guide people through Spinal Energetics and Network Spinal-informed sessions.
My purpose is about helping people reconnect to who they really are and why they are here on the deepest level. Life is a limited-time opportunity. Every session of somatic energy healing in New York that I offer is rooted in guiding people back into harmony with their bodies, their energy, and their consciousness. You can never go wrong with investing in yourself and your own well-being.

Appreciate the insights and wisdom. Before we dig deeper and ask you about the skills that matter and more, maybe you can tell our readers about yourself?

I’m a Norwegian singer and energy practitioner based in New York.
I’m extremely passionate about reminding people of their own greatness;
My vehicles for doing so is my music and energy practice.
Actually, I believe music and energy are two terms for what in reality is the same thing.
Performing with my band all over the world, I recognized the power music holds with invoking and directing our energy.
As life unfolded, I found myself experiencing an incredible healing modality that works with the music of the nervous system; Network Spinal. Fast forward, I attended all Network Spinal seminars and also got certified in a similar method, Spinal Energetics. Currently I’m under the tutelage of world-renowned energy practitioner and chiropractor Dr. John Amaral, as seen in Gwyneth Paltrow’s Netflix special ‘Goop Labs’, learning his method of advanced Somatic Energy Healing.
It’s equally exciting and humbling to serve people through my practice in New York, Seena Energetics.
I use refinements from Network Spinal, Spinal Energetics, Somatic Energy Healing and Sound Healing in sessions.
I regard what I – and similar practitioners – offer, as the next evolution in nervous system care.
Every person is unique, and it’s really important to me to truly see each individual.
This is why each session is tailor-made for each client’s specific energetic and somatic makeup.
In short, my practice is about helping people go from fight or flight to flow and connection.
This frees up energy that was previously stored as tension or pain, and helps each person direct that newfound energy into more conscious, vibrant and life-affirming existence.

Looking back, what do you think were the three qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge that were most impactful in your journey? What advice do you have for folks who are early in their journey in terms of how they can best develop or improve on these?

1. Look for the opportunities
You have to play jazz with life! I’ve found that one of the most important things for our well-being as humans is progress. In order for progress to happen in any area we have to ask ourselves: “How can I?” not dig ourselves down with statements like: “I can’t because.” There are a million reasons why you can’t. In jazz we have a concept of trading solos. First one person plays. Then the next person takes a turn, looking for the opportunities musically presented by the previous player. It’s totally improvised. I’ve always focused on playing along with life, singing back whatever comes my way from creative angles. The very thing that is holding you back could be the springboard for your success if you decide it will, and get enough energy and creativity behind that decision. This also goes for leaving people and places where there aren’t opportunities for you behind. Create your own opportunities and don’t go by any person’s book other than your own!
2. Hire people better than yourself
If you hire people better than yourself you will never stop learning. I’ve been extremely lucky as a singer and bandleader in that the musicians I’ve chosen to hire are elite level with the biggest hearts. They are much better than me from a technical level: I can’t read a single note of music. But I know what sounds good and feels right. We complement each other. It’s essential to recognize what our strengths and weaknesses are, and hire accordingly.
3. Cultivate patience
One of the most important skills to hone is patience. This becomes easier if you expect the pain. Expect the delays. Expect the disappointments. Keep going anyway and don’t put a time limit on your ultimate vision.

What was the most impactful thing your parents did for you?

I’m extremely grateful to and respectful of my parents.
They are the complete opposite of me, in many ways.
Where they value stability and predictability, I have chosen freedom as my top priority.
But we do have the same values.
The most impactful thing my parents did for me, was what they didn’t do;
While always just a phone call away, they have let me experience life and its lessons in my own way.
They never tried to interfere with my choices, even though they sometimes probably did not make much sense to them.
I feel true wisdom comes from a life well lived, so to me this is the greatest gift, along with providing me with a stable and safe upbringing, always meeting me with open arms and giving me life itself. I owe them everything.
