Are you affected by a concussion?
Let Rikke la Cour help you move forward
Rikke la Cour tailors her concussion mentoring and coaching sessions to fit you and your need, also called The BrainBrave Way.
BrainBrave – Purpose
Let me help you on your journey
Since my concussion in 2018, which put my life on hold for several years, I have developed a passion for helping people in similar situations. After I shared my concussion story in Mikael Kamber’s book “Gå Godt” in 2021 and via Hjernerystelsesforeningen, I have had multiple conversations and sparring sessions with people whom suffered a concussion or had their life turned upside down in similar ways.
It is due to these conversations, where I have seen an imminent need for concussion guidance and inspiration, and the positive outcomes such holds for concussion recovery, that I have founded BrainBrave.
As a certified coach, combined with the knowledge I have built during my + 20 years professional career within negotiation, coaching and capability building, as well as my own concussion journey and full recovery, I now offer coaching and concussion mentoring in Danish and English. Online or in person.
I cannot wait to make a difference. Every person that I can help move forward on their journey will be a massive gift. For them. And for me.

When will the mum as I knew her, be back? The feeling of guilt when you are not who you used to be.
When I suffered a concussion, my children were 7 and 9 years old. They were used to a mom who was always on the go, a mom who played soccer and tennis with them in the backyard, played games, cooked, accompanied them to school, read books, and so on. And then - from...
Remember to listen to the body’s signals – and see increasing signals as a loving message to take care of yourself
Too many days passed from when I hit my head to when I took the signals seriously. I went to work for five days after the fall. With a steadily increasing headache, a slight nausea/flu-like condition, a feeling of having “brain fog”, and, most oddly, my vision...
Energy Management – What to Do When Your Brain Battery Is Completely Drained?
I still remember the first day I went to see my neuropsychologist. My husband drove, and I sat in the car with sunglasses and a cap, trying to shut everything out. I had become light-sensitive and needed to block out all the movements from the surroundings because I...
Coaching at BrainBrave
When we dare to dig deeper, dare to see ourself in a new light and what might hold us back – magic can happen. But it can be difficult to get there on your own.
- You set the goals. I motivate and support you to get there through well-proven techniques and various coaching tools.
- Through active listening, I help you find the way from where you are, to where you want to go.
- In my coaching sessions, we focus more on the present and future, than the past.
- Coaching is 100% confidential and I will do everything in my power, to create a safe space for you.
- In my coaching sessions, I will (when appropriate) spice it up with my humorous and positive approach to life. It just makes it a bit more fun and balanced when we dig into the heavy stuff.
- I will include learnings and inspiration from my own recovery from concussion/PCS/TBI with you, as we jointly identify what might help you in your recovery and journey back to a better life. I call that approach – the BrainBrave Way.
