Work With Me

At the heart of my work is the human being — the body, the emotions, and the parts of us that easily remain hidden behind shame, learned roles, and the masks we have learned to hide behind.

I speak and facilitate around themes of embodiment, womanhood, sexuality, shame and shadow work. My approach is body-based, taking into account the nervous system, our sense of safety, and the importance of connection with ourselves and others.

At the heart of my work is our shared humanity and the experience of being truly seen — the possibility of being met as a whole person, including the parts of ourselves we have learned to hide, feel ashamed of, or keep unseen.

It matters deeply to me to create spaces where difficult subjects can be approached with humanity and curiosity, without turning the person into a problem that needs to be fixed. Spaces where we can feel seen by others, while also learning to see more of ourselves.

I work with events, communities, media and a variety of collaborators in Finland and internationally.

Talks & conversations

I speak about embodiment, womanhood, sexuality, shame, the shadow, and what happens when we begin to make visible what has stayed hidden.

Each talk is shaped around the occasion, the audience and the theme — rather than a ready-made script.

Workshops & facilitation

I facilitate experiential, body-based workshops that bring embodied experience alongside intellectual understanding. What is happening within me? What is my body communicating? What might I discover when I pause and listen?

My approach takes into account the nervous system, our sense of safety, and the importance of self-regulation and co-regulation. Through somatic practices, exploration and connection with others, we can deepen our relationship with ourselves and one another, while creating space for the emotions, needs and parts of ourselves we have learned to hide.

Workshops may explore themes such as embodiment, the nervous system, emotions, shame, boundaries, pleasure, sexuality, the feminine shadow, and connection with ourselves and others.

I have facilitated workshops and group processes in a variety of events and communities, including Natural High Healing Festival and retreats.

Interviews, podcasts & media

I love conversations that go beneath the surface.

You can invite me onto podcasts, into interviews and the media to talk about somatics, womanhood, sexuality, shadow work, shame and our embodied relationship with ourselves, among other things.

Collaborations

I love to collaborate with people, brands, events and communities when our worlds and values meet.

If you have an inspiring idea that does not fit neatly into any of the above, tell me about it.
