About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Love, dance, yoga, nature, be, live, laugh.

ABOUT ME

I‘m a freelancer dancer, yoga teacher and an Occupational Therapist living in the country side of Espoo with my boyfriend in a beautiful community. At the moment I enjoy the peaceful but active life here, seeing the changes of the seasons and being part of different kind of dance and yoga projects.

„I love to dance , run freely, laugh tears in my eyes, climb to a tree, hug a tree, walk bear foot, swim in a forest lake, improvise, sit around a fire, pick herbs, be open to life, be with people of many kind..“

Im always ready to try new things especially related to movement and dance or discovering a new place. I think you are never ready as a human being and the travel of life is really interesting and wonderful when you have the right attitude and an open mind.

PHILOSOPHY

At the moment I´m enjoying life in Finland. I’ve also lived abroad and travelled a lot but this rooted and simple life out of the city in the Finnish countryside is like a travel for me every day. ;)

Teach, Learn, Share

Create, learn, share and teach something together to each other. I believe every human you meet in your life is your teacher and you are a teacher for them.

I have a soul of a nomad. I love to travel. I have lived in different countries for longer and shorter periods of times. To come, go, leave, return keeps you alive with an open heart for change.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I would love to dance with you and go to the nature. I also love to just talk and for example to meditate, do yoga or sing, drink tea or go to the sauna. What ever we come up with.
