I’m originally from a small town of about 10,000 people called Kauniainen, just 25 minutes from Helsinki, Finland. Growing up, I was a classic ‘type A high achiever’. I excelled in school, competed in golf and skiing, and developed a distorted relationship with food and exercise at a super young age. These tendencies followed me as I started my career, landing high-pressure roles that led to fast promotions and 16-hour workdays in New York and London.

One of the major turning points in my life came when I started asking myself, "Everything seems to be going so well - so why is my love life such a disaster?". I couldn’t understand why I was attracting one toxic relationship after another. That’s when I turned to therapy for the first time.

The second significant turning point came in my career. The immense pressure I placed on myself to succeed, my constant survival-mode stress, lack of boundaries, perfectionism, and people-pleasing habits were making me sick. My self-worth was tied to performance and productivity. Eventually, my body started telling me to slow the F down in all kinds of ways: anxiety, sleep problems, recurring illnesses, digestive problems, headaches, back pain, fatigue, and crying at work. I kept wondering, "I’ve achieved everything I’ve been working towards - why am I not happy?"

That’s when I got serious about including my body and nervous system in my healing journey. I knew there had to be a more sustainable way to succeed and live.

What I’m describing (or some version of it) is quite common. There’s this societal belief that tolerating life is just part of the deal - that ailments like chronic stress, perfectionism, anxiety, and chronic pain are simply "the way we are". What drove my change was a deeper knowing that this isn’t true. I learned that my external world - the situations I found myself in, my mental and physical health - was a reflection of my inner world. And this is something I could change.

With the right support, I began to shift my inner world. I looked at and worked on past trauma, social conditioning, limiting beliefs, self-love etc. and started to connect with and build safety in my body. As this inner transformation took place, my external world changed too.

I found that there are two essential elements to creating lasting change: 1) a safe, accepting, and non-judgmental guide, and 2) addressing the nervous system and body. My work bridges modern neuroscience and psychology with intuitive wisdom — integrating nervous system healing, emotional processing, inner child & shadow work, energy healing, coaching and somatic guidance.

This forms the foundation of my practice today - a practice born out of my own process of reconnecting with who I really am, and what truly lights me up in life. My mission now is to guide and support others on their own journeys of transformation, growth, personal power and wellbeing. It’s an honor and a true pleasure and I’m so grateful that you’re here, and look forward to supporting you.
