My Story

From Shyness to Sacred Strength

I’ve always been fascinated by the power of love and intimacy. Yet, it wasn’t until I met my soulmate and stepped into the world of energy and tantra that I truly understood how healing, transformational, and profoundly magical intimacy could be.

A Shy Beginning

Growing up, I was the quiet child. My two sisters thrived in the spotlight, but not me—I was happiest tucked away in a closet with a book, even when we were visiting friends. To me, it was a safe haven, a world where I could step away from the buzzing energy around me and simply be. I’ve always been sensitive, picking up on emotions and energies with an intensity that even I didn’t fully understand. It made me different, and while I didn’t see it as a gift then, I knew I experienced the world in a way others didn’t. But others didn’t see that part of me. They labeled me shy, and soon, I began to believe it. More than anything, I felt like I didn’t belong, rarely expressing my feelings and quietly questioning my place in the world.

At 15, this vulnerability led me into a relationship that was both beautiful and painful. There were moments of laughter and joy but when he drank, something inside him shifted, and he became someone I didn’t recognize—someone who inflicted pain instead of love. Even at that young age, I tried to understand him. I could see his hurt and believed that love had the power to heal and transform. I chose love, even when it was hard. But looking back, I realize I wasn’t ready myself—I wasn’t ready to stay open, to confront the darkness, to have the hard conversations that might have brought light. This relationship, while filled with moments of joy, ultimately shattered my already fragile confidence and left me questioning everything about myself.

Strength Through Sports

Sports became my lifeline. Representing Finland as part of the youth national team, I found strength, confidence, and a deep connection to my body through athletics. On the field, I felt alive and powerful.

But at 21, my life took another turn. I gave birth to my daughter, and shortly after, I fell into a decade-long illness that ended my athletic career. I felt disconnected, like I no longer recognized myself. My focus shifted to motherhood and pursuing business studies, determined to build security for my family.

For over a decade, I thrived in a high-pressure international business career, relocating my family to different countries along the way. However, the stress took its toll—burnout became a constant companion, and the spark of who I once was felt more distant than ever.

A Catalyst for Change

The turning point came with the birth of my son. He was pure light and life, and through his wonder-filled eyes, I saw the world anew. One day, as I complained about something unimportant, he looked at me and said, "Mom, why do you complain about your cold hands? Don’t you notice the flowers? They’re so beautiful.” His words pierced through me. When had I stopped seeing beauty? When had I lost the joy I once had?

That moment led me to a deep question. I stared at an old photo of myself as a little girl with bright eyes and a radiant smile. If I was once so happy and alive, could I find that spark again?

I took my first step into healing by enrolling in a Holistic Skin & Beauty Therapy program in Copenhagen. There, I learned about meditation, Kundalini yoga, nutrition, and self-care rituals that reconnected me to my body and soul. It was the beginning of a profound transformation.

Discovering Passion and Self-Love

During the course, I discovered The Passion Test by Janet Bray Attwood. For the first time, I realized how far I had drifted from passion and joy. Trusting my intuition, I reached out to Janet's team and joined The Passion Test Certification Program, which, to my surprise, was organized in Finland—my home country! I felt I had found someone who truly understood me and could guide me. I began traveling the world with her, and under her mentorship, I immersed myself in spirituality, passion, and self-love. These teachings became the foundation of my work today and were instrumental in reconnecting me to what truly mattered.

Awakening into Sacred Sexuality

Another major shift came when I decided to leave my 20-year marriage. Though full of love and mutual respect, we had grown apart and become more like friends than partners. Leaving was the ultimate self-love gift. It opened the door to understanding deeper levels of connection, intimacy, and feminine essence in relationships.

When I met my current partner, I finally felt ready to fully surrender and embrace my feminine power, even though being so open and vulnerable was scary. Together, we embarked on a conscious relationship built on trust, healing, and exploration. My sexual energy awakened, bringing with it profound healing. My health transformed faster than I could have imagined. It became clear that pleasure, intimacy, and emotional connection were key to holistic healing. Driven by a deep desire to learn more, I began studying at The Institute of Tantric Sexuality with Layla Martin, ultimately graduating as a trauma-informed and tantric Love, Sex, and Relationship Coach."

Over the years, my partner and I have deepened our bond through conscious practices, tantra, trauma work, and guided psychedelic journeys. Together, we faced our fears, uncovered layers of pain, and healed in ways that not only strengthened our connection but also enhanced my ability to hold space for clients to do the same.

Why I Do This Work

My life experiences have equipped me with a unique ability to guide others through their own healing journeys. From my struggles with illness, burnout, and self-doubt to the powerful healing I’ve experienced in love, intimacy, and connection, I know firsthand what it means to reclaim joy, confidence, and purpose.

Healing, Intimacy, and Radiance

At 46, I feel alive, whole, and deeply connected to my purpose. I’m a proud mother of two wonderful children and a loving partner. My journey has taught me that healing is possible for everyone, no matter how lost or disconnected they may feel. Today, I live a life filled with vitality, passion, and joy, and I’m here to guide you toward the same transformation. Let’s celebrate your unique journey together."

Education and Certifications

My diverse educational background has been integral to shaping my work and unique approach to guiding others on their journeys of healing, transformation, and empowerment. Each step reflects my commitment to understanding the body, mind, relationships, and spirit in a deeper way.

    These studies empowered me to address sensitive issues surrounding intimacy, healing, and connection through a compassionate and informed lens.

The Work of Byron Katie

I had the honor of attending the 9-day school for The Work with Byron Katie in Ojai, USA. This experience deeply influenced my approach to self-inquiry, helping clients shift perspectives, release limiting beliefs, and find freedom in their thoughts.

Holistic Skin Therapy Education

I completed my studies in Holistic Skin Therapy in Copenhagen, earning certifications as a Holistic Skin and Beauty Therapist and Skin and Beauty Nutritionist. This not only fostered a deep appreciation for self-care but also provided a foundation for understanding the connection between physical well-being and emotional health.

  • University of Dundee: Completed one year of studies in Psychology and Philosophy

These academic experiences enriched my understanding of human behavior, organizational dynamics, and the role of mindset in personal and professional development.

This breadth enables me to bring a well-rounded, compassionate, and effective approach to my coaching, allowing me to meet my clients exactly where they are and guide them toward the life they deserve.
