Gitte Lindgaard

With a Bachelor’s degree in Communication and Health, I bring a wealth of expertise and a unique blend of qualifications to my role as Chief Commercial Officer at Shape. My career spans decades of dedicated service and impactful work across various health and wellness sectors.

I began my professional journey working with individuals with disabilities, focusing on improving health and quality of life. My passion for health communication led me to roles where I served as an advisor and spokesperson for organizations dedicated to eating disorder and self-harm prevention. This role honed my ability to communicate complex health information in a way that is both actionable and empowering.

In addition to my communication and health expertise, I am a certified yoga teacher and yoga therapist. For the past 12 years, I have collaborated closely with doctors and physiotherapists, helping individuals unlock their full potential through holistic health practices.

As a certified Wim Hof Method instructor and the leading instructor in Scandinavia, I have not only traveled and taught alongside Wim Hof himself but also teach at the Wim Hof Method Academy. My dedication and expertise are demonstrated by over 100 five-star reviews, making me the highest-rated instructor in Scandinavia.

I have been a dedicated vegetarian for more than 14 years and embody the principles of plant-based eating and sustainable living. My lifelong interest in health, combined with my ability to effectively communicate these principles, uniquely positions me to lead SHAPE’s commercial strategies.

I am a strong advocate for evidence-based approaches while also recognizing the profound power of harnessing human potential beyond what science can quantify. I believe that true empowerment comes from nurturing one’s emotions, self-worth, and self-love.

I look forward to advancing SHAPE’s mission of promoting health, plant-based nutrition, sustainability, and personal growth, driven by a deep commitment to evidence-based practices and an unwavering belief in human potential.
