I'm Selma Quist-Møller, and my diverse journey has led me to wear multiple hats - researcher, writer, speaker, psychologist, and mother. My educational journey includes UC Berkeley, UCLA, Copenhagen University, and Lund University.
My work is a fusion of science and mindfulness, with a primary mission to foster individual, collective, and planetary well-being, health, justice, and growth. I am deeply committed to making scientific knowledge accessible to all, especially those seeking transformative experiences.
For individuals seeking therapy, I offer a compassionate and supportive space to navigate life's challenges and find resilience through post-traumatic growth. My research delves into the intersection of compassion, trauma-informed mindfulness, and the journey toward flourishing after adversity.
My talks draw on my knowledge and experiences and are designed to inspire, inform, empower, and transform.
For businesses and organizations interested in talks, consultancy, or workshops, I specialize in inclusion, diversity, well-being, flourishment, and social and global change after crises and complex trauma. I've collaborated with esteemed institutions such as the Danish Parliament, PwC, and UC Berkeley's Greater Good Science Center, helping them navigate the complex landscape of these critical topics.
My contributions to various research projects, co-authored articles, and book chapters are a testament to my commitment to creating meaningful, compassionate impact. I've also had the privilege of being a part of a study teaching mindfulness-based leadership to Google executives, and my collaboration with Dr. Dacher Keltner at UC Berkeley resulted in the development of a pioneering empathy measurement.
In the tech industry, I've been a content expert on research at Mobius, facilitating connections between top tech leaders and well-being experts, working towards enhancing both individual and collective well-being through innovative technologies.
My training under Dr. Dan Siegel in the field of Interpersonal Neurobiology has deeply informed my interdisciplinary approach. As a 2020/2022 Garrison Institute Fellow, I've collaborated with a diverse cohort to advance the field of collective healing and growth, rooted in the science of interconnection, generative action, and contemplative wisdom.
My journey is driven by a sincere desire to contribute positively to the lives of individuals and the betterment of society. Whether you seek therapy, transformative talks, or guidance in creating inclusive, diverse, and flourishing cultures, I'm here to facilitate your journey toward well-being, growth, and change.
