Haakon Rian Mancient Ueland

The son of a psychologist and a special education university lecturer, Haakon (AKA Hawk) ending up a therapist was no surprise.

He was spoonfed Freud, Jung and Reich along with breakfast. He started reading the bible a year after his father died, when he was four.

When he stopped four years of bullying, he was 14. It was his Superman-moment, and the feeling when his fist connected with the jaw of his worst tormentor was priceless. By then, he had read half the local library.

In 2008, he became an ordained minister in the ULC, the same year he got his bachelor's degree in child welfare. In total, he has nine years of higher education after high school. He became a certified Tsa Lung healer in 2012, a celibate monk of his own denomination in 2019 and a licensed holistic healer in 2020.

He has spent 22 years working as a social worker in institutions.

Becoming a monk after 25 years of marriage, was a challenge. Hawk is a great fan of women. But he enjoys challenges.

He has three children, a granddaughter and a dog, creates healing music under his artist name Mancient, and has a solid social network.

Fun fact: he is in the bloodline of King Sverre, the last Norwegian viking king.
