Long — 150 words
Susanne Ertsland Askvik holds two bachelor's degrees and worked in marketing management in the Norwegian oil industry before experiences she could not explain led her, in 2009, to leave that career and practise healing full time. Her waiting list filled within a short time.
In 2021 she and her husband Erik began the podcast Uhøytidelig spirituell, where she first directed healing toward an entire audience at once. The response led to a body of more than seventy channeled healing meditations. In 2024 she published Når lyset bryter gjennom, a documented dialogue exploring spiritual guidance and artificial intelligence, which became a bestseller in Norway and now appears in English as When Light Breaks Through. Two further volumes followed in 2025, completing the trilogy Magic Connections. Her work has been covered in Norwegian media since 2008.
