MY STORY

I grew up in Finland, where movement and music were a big part of my world. As a competitive gymnast, I learned discipline, strength, and grace. Music was my soul’s language—I sang, played piano, and performed from an early age, attending a school for musicians. In my family, music was how we connected, playing and singing together as a shared expression of love.

In 2017, I moved to London for university, stepping into a new world on my own. I experienced the full spectrum of life—its highs and its depths. I attended an industrial placement year in London working in a media company and for the first time in my life I started feeling anxiety and every day stress. I found myself feeling disconnected from my body and spirit. During the lockdown of 2020 I was stuck in a foreign country and supporting my partner at the time who was struggling with their mental health - I found myself in a dark time. It was then that yoga really found me. The simple practice became a lifeline, guiding me back to myself. Through a daily asana practice and meditation, I uncovered this deep sense of inner strength, like nothing could shake me from my core. Life started to feel like magic was woven into every moment. I started imagining and creating a life that I really loved and that authentically felt true to me.

Yoga is a homecoming. It teaches us to stay present in discomfort, to breathe through challenges, and to move with an open heart. It showed me how deeply the body, mind, and spirit are connected, unlocking emotional blocks I hadn’t even known were there. As I deepened my practice, I discovered Dharma Yoga in London, a path of devotion, community, and surrender. This practice resonated with me deeply and I found deep purpose in this practice, getting me through working in a corporate job.

Along the way, my love for music and yoga intertwined. Singing, chanting, and sound became a natural extension of my practice, a way to express the depth of emotion and presence that words alone could not. I began exploring sound healing, mantra, and the transformative power of the voice. The vibrations of sacred sound open the heart, clear energy blockages, and guide us back to our essence.

In November 2023, a transformational journey to Peru marked one turning point in my life. I completed a yoga training that deepened my practice and solidified my commitment to the path of yoga and sound. This was followed by a magical trip to India, where my connection to these ancient traditions deepened even further. In October 2024, I immersed myself in Bali, completing a 200-hour yoga training before traveling to Guatemala for a 100-hour Sound Ceremony training.

At Lake Atitlán, I found a place that resonated deeply with me. I began teaching yoga and offering sound journeys. Now, I am based in Guatemala while moving between Finland, London, and other places that inspire me.
