About Me — Holding Space for Your Return

Founder of The Return™

My name is Ranjanna Mariia Hvenegaard. I am an adoptee born in Mumbai, India and raised in Denmark, and my life’s work has been shaped by early separation, identity interruption, and the lifelong process of returning to self that many adoptees and foster care individuals understand deeply.

From a young age, I lived with questions that could not be answered intellectually — questions of belonging, identity, and self-trust. Over time, these questions became the foundation of my work rather than something to overcome. In 2016, I shared part of this journey in my book One Voice: Empowering Life Lessons About Adoption, marking the beginning of my public commitment to serve adoptees, foster care individuals, and women whose lives have required resilience long before safety was established.

I am the Founder and CEO of Love Fulfilling You and the creator of The Return™, a structured, time-bound framework for identity repair, nervous-system safety, and the restoration of internal authority. The Return™ was developed in response to what I observed repeatedly in traditional healing and personal development spaces — a lack of containment, an overemphasis on emotional intensity, and very little support for completion and autonomy. My work is grounded in the belief that wholeness is not something to achieve, but something to return to.

Embedded within The Return™ is the L.O.V.E. Triad — Love, Oneness, Victory, and Empowerment — which serves as an internal orientation rather than a set of steps or outcomes. The Triad reflects how safety, coherence, and self-trust naturally unfold when the nervous system is respected and identity is no longer shaped by survival alone.

My professional path has been shaped by decades of lived experience, study, and practical application, including my work within transformational leadership environments such as the Tony Robbins organization. These experiences helped refine my understanding of what truly supports sustainable change — and what creates dependency, urgency, or emotional overwhelm. They reinforced my commitment to structure, pacing, and ethical containment as non-negotiable elements of any meaningful work.

Today, I guide adoptees, foster care individuals, and women impacted by violence or identity-based harm through The Return™ ecosystem, which includes a flagship 12-week program, a short Integration Circle, an Embodied Retreat, and a private, invitation-only Platinum container. I do not offer therapy, crisis intervention, or emotional caretaking. Instead, I hold clear, dignified spaces designed to support identity repair, nervous-system regulation, and the ability to carry one’s life forward with steadiness and self-trust.

My role is not to rescue, fix, or transform.
It is to create the conditions where people can return to themselves — safely, slowly, and with dignity.

This work is not about becoming someone new.
It is about remembering who you are when survival no longer leads. It is about coming home to who you have always been.

My Values

Dignified Acceptance

We recognize that many adoptees and individuals from the foster care system have lived with experiences of separation, loss, and not belonging. Here, you are met with respect and dignity — without judgment, expectation, or pressure to explain yourself. Acceptance in this work does not mean fixing or changing who you are. It means acknowledging your inherent worth and meeting you as you are, allowing space for authenticity, choice, and self-respect to emerge naturally.

Integration-Centered Empowerment

Our approach is grounded in integration rather than intensity. We work with an understanding of trauma, identity interruption, and nervous-system safety, supporting the gradual restoration of self-trust, coherence, and internal authority. Empowerment here is not about pushing past pain or striving for transformation; it is about releasing survival-based patterns, recognizing choice, and learning to live from steadiness rather than urgency. The work is holistic, paced, and intentionally structured to support sustainable change.

Grounded Belonging Without Dependency

Belonging in this space does not require self-disclosure, emotional performance, or ongoing attachment. It is rooted in mutual respect, shared understanding, and clear boundaries. While connection and community are present, the ultimate goal is autonomy — supporting you to feel anchored in yourself rather than reliant on a group or guide. This is a space where you can experience connection without losing yourself, and leave stronger, clearer, and more self-directed than when you arrived.

A Culture of Safety, Integrity, and Shared Responsibility

Our culture is grounded in the belief that meaningful change happens in environments where people feel safe, respected, and free to be themselves without pressure or performance. We cultivate spaces where individuals can engage thoughtfully, at their own pace, supported by clear structure, ethical boundaries, and mutual respect.

This is not a culture of rescue or hierarchy. It is a culture of shared responsibility, where guidance is offered with care and participants are supported in strengthening their own internal authority. While connection and community are present, autonomy remains central — people are encouraged to listen to themselves, make informed choices, and carry their lives forward independently.

When you engage in this work, you are not joining a movement or a tribe defined by identity or ideology. You are entering a contained environment designed to support reflection, integration, and real-world application. The culture is calm, grounded, and intentional — one that values dignity over intensity, depth over urgency, and completion over dependency.

We walk alongside people for a defined season, holding space with clarity and care, so they can leave more resourced, steadier, and better equipped to live from self-trust beyond the container.
