About Climbing4Life

​Meet Daniela, founder of Climbing4life.
Daniela is one of Sweden's most successful climbing coaches with several years of experience in both coaching, education and her own training and competition.
​

Daniela started climbing when she was 20 years old and it was love at first move!

​

My climbing life started indoors on plastic grips. I sometimes went on shorter trips to climb outdoors, but the Swedish granite felt far too hard and scary for me to climb on.

So instead of climbing outdoors at home, I started, for fun, to enter some competitions. It went very well for me and before I knew it, I had won my first SM in Boulder and was on my way to the World Cups and the World Championships!

​

A shoulder injury stopped me from competing and climbing for a year.

Instead, I explored the world of yoga, became a yoga instructor and started my "movement training", something that I get a lot of inspiration from for my everyday training and my coaching.

When I came back from my shoulder injury, instead of competing again, I started going on more climbing trips and exploring the world.

It opened up a whole new world for me and I realized that this is what I want to do.

I also want to give others the opportunity, knowledge and courage to take the step and follow their dreams!
