Born to the noble and royal court chamberlain Johan Jakob De Geer.

During the reign of King Charles XIII of Sweden, she was one of the central figures of the capital's society, described as a charming beauty, and hosted salon which functioned as a political forum. She was herself politically influential, and Jean Baptiste Bernadotte was a frequent guest at her salons. She was the parent of Jaquette Löwenhielm.
