There are leaders who command attention, and then there are leaders who shift the atmosphere simply by being present. Vibecke Garnaas belongs to the latter. Her leadership does not arrive with noise or hierarchy; it arrives as coherence. Chosen as one of Women Leaders to Look Up to in 2026 by Passion Vista, Vibecke represents a new paradigm of influence, one rooted not in control, but in resonance.
“I am a mirror, a bridge, and a flame,” she says. “I do not lead by standing above, but by standing beside.” For Vibecke, leadership is not about visibility or validation. It is about helping others see themselves clearly, often for the first time. Her work exists at the intersection of business and breath, structure and spirit, guiding individuals and organisations back to inner alignment in an increasingly fragmented world.
Her journey began long before titles or accolades entered the picture. From childhood, Vibecke experienced a deep connection to the spirit realm, guided by what she describes as Zarius and The Order of 7. Mystical and paranormal experiences shaped her perception early on, teaching her that human life does not exist in isolation, but as part of a wider, multidimensional reality. Rather than resisting these experiences, she learned to integrate them, creating a life where the spiritual and the practical could coexist.
“I am not here to change you,” she reflects. “I am here to reflect your truth.” This philosophy defines both her personal and professional life. As a certified Life Between Lives Hypnotherapist with the Michael Newton Institute, a Master Practitioner and Coach, published author, and host of the Spiritual Quest Podcast, Vibecke has dedicated her work to holding safe, grounded spaces where people can explore consciousness without having to choose between logic and spirit.
Her professional portfolio extends across sacred sites around the world, where she facilitates spiritual pilgrimages and dimensional activations. As a New Earth Strategist, she works with individuals and businesses alike, helping them unlock potential through conscious co-creation with spirit. At its core, her work is not about transformation through force, but remembrance. “My role is to help others rediscover their own breath, their own questions, and their own resonance,” she says.
The inspiration behind this work is deeply personal. A lifelong relationship with unseen realms has shaped Vibecke into what she calls a “coherence architect,” someone who brings stillness where chaos once lived. Her goal is simple, yet profound: to help people access their inner truth and build a more compassionate world. Through coaching, sacred journeys, and storytelling, she supports heart-centered leaders in aligning purpose with presence.
One of her greatest strengths is her ability to remain calm and centered amid uncertainty. Vibecke has a rare sensitivity for translating subtle energetic shifts into practical guidance, offering clarity when others feel overwhelmed. Yet she speaks openly about her learning edges. “I sometimes hold onto others’ emotions for too long,” she admits. “True service means balance, not self-sacrifice.” This self-awareness, she believes, is essential for sustainable leadership.
Balance, for Vibecke, is not a destination but a practice. She approaches life as a spiral rather than a straight line allowing professional and personal worlds to weave together naturally. Breath and presence anchor her daily rhythm, helping her return to center whenever life pulls in multiple directions. “Balance is remembering who you are, even in motion,” she says.
In her personal time, Vibecke finds renewal in nature, where earth grounds her and water restores her energy. Time with her beloved family and their dog, Bella, brings joy and simplicity. Music, books, and films offer gentle reminders that life is not only a mission, but also a melody. “Rest is sacred,” she says. “Love is the greatest reset.”
Her leadership style mirrors this philosophy. Based on resonance rather than authority, Vibecke leads by creating environments of coherence where others can unfold naturally. She believes in listening first, speaking last, and choosing alignment over control. “I don’t seek followers,” she says. “I seek resonance.” In an era where traditional leadership models are rapidly dissolving, her approach embodies New Earth values, integrity, authenticity, and energetic alignment.
In 2018, her contributions were recognised with the Torchbearer Spirit Award by Soul Energy in Motion, a non-profit dedicated to conscious evolution. For Vibecke, the honour symbolised her role as a bridge between what is and what can be, between heaven and earth, intention and embodiment.
To readers, her message is both gentle and powerful: “You are not here to fix yourself. You are here to remember yourself.” Unity, she reminds us, does not erase individuality, it harmonises it. By walking our own paths with presence, we allow the collective journey to unfold through us.
And in that remembering, leadership becomes less about direction and more about truth.
