Behind Somatic Waves
Every wave begins with an undercurrent.
Somatic Waves began with mine. The hidden currents of burnout, loss, and the deep ache for reconnection. This page is not about what I offer now, but about the path that carried me here, and why I am devoted to holding this work for others..
My Journey:
From Disconnection to Deep Transformation.
There was a time in my life when I felt completely disconnected, from myself, my purpose, and the world around me. On paper, I had done it "right." I had worked my way up in different careers, achieved financial stability, and followed the path that many would consider a success, and I was lucky to have it. And yet, beneath the surface, I had lost myself.
Looking back, I can now see how every step, the challenges, the heartbreaks, and the awakenings, were guiding me back to myself, to my core. Each moment was preparing me for the next step toward my purpose. But at the time, all I knew was that something was off, and it had to change.
Creativity, Intuition
& the Early Years
I was raised in a home where creativity and imagination were cherished. Growing up in a small town in Finland, I was encouraged to spend time in nature, connect with the land, and express myself through art. As a highly shy and sensitive child I became a lone wolf from very young, I pondered over big emotions and feelings of homesickness even though I was home. I immersed myself in creativity and nature, it became my safe space, a way to explore emotions, seek meaning, and believe in magic.
So creativity became my ticket out into the world. Art was was my lifeblood, leading me to study contemporary art and photography, I was in my element of exploring ways to capture emotion, energy, and the unseen.
For a while, I thought my path was set. And I planned to continue my photography studies in London. But a spontaneous trip to Dublin changed everything. Something about Ireland called to my soul, and soon, I left my plans behind to begin a new chapter there.
Losing Myself in the Hustle
After a few carefree years, frolicking as an au pair in Dublin, I - like many others - fell into the rhythm of “making a living.”
First came retail, where I worked my way up from a shy sales assistant to confidently managing large stores and teams. I loved living in this world, but eventually I grew restless and cracks of toxic environments started to show and I knew it was time to move on. Then came the corporate tech world, where I managed global client accounts, chasing stability and career growth. Retail pushed me to step out of my comfort zone, teaching me resilience and leadership. Corporate life offered me security and financial gain, all wrapped up in the illusion of “work-life balance.” But it came at a cost I hadn’t anticipated.
At first, I was just grateful for the stability, and excited about all the corporate life perks. But as time went on, chronic stress and anxiety became my companions. I found myself casually searching online for “heart attack symptoms” and eventually burnout became my norm. I experienced intense emotional lows, but throughout my life I had learned how to mask and my brain pressed on the auto pilot function. I convinced myself this was just life. I was “successful,” wasn’t I?
But it was different this time, I was silently drowning in heavy waters of exhaustion and disconnection. It became impossible to ignore but I didn't know how to change. But then, the Universe threw me an unexpected life line. I was made redundant and it saved my life.
Returning to the Body
I saw the redundancy as a clear call to reclaim my purpose.
And what followed was a slow, sometimes frustrating, and painstaking unraveling.
I began to reconnect with my own being, my mind, my body, my breath, and my energy. Parts of myself I had long ignored while trying to keep up with the pace of life.
I started spending more time in nature, I desperately felt the need to be grounded, absorbed by the earth, allowing my nervous system to slow down. I learned about the body’s own intelligence, and becoming curious about how emotions and patterns lived within me. It was the first time I truly started to be present and listen, not to my thoughts, but to the subtle language of my body.
Through gentle movement, stillness, and conscious breath, I began to sense myself again. I realised that lasting change couldn’t come from the mind alone, it had to begin in the body. My mind couldn’t convince my body to feel safe, and even when I tried to make changes, I found myself looping back into old patterns.
These realisations guided me toward practices that would later become cornerstones in my life, Somatic awareness, Movement, Breathwork, and Energy Healing. At first, they were simply doorways back to myself, ways of remembering what safety, presence, and aliveness actually felt like. And as my body began to feel safer, the noise quieted. And piece by piece, I began to remember...
I remembered sensing something greater as a child.
I remembered feeling energy like static electricity.
I remembered experimenting with crystals and speaking to the Universe, and it listened.
I remembered the sacred moments that once guided me.
I remembered a time when I used to be aligned, until I was not..
And for the first time in years, I gave myself permission to awaken these dormant parts of me again, to trust where they might lead, even if I didn’t yet know the path.
The Turning Point:
Layers, Unfolding & Remembering
Healing, I’ve come to realise, doesn’t happen in a straight line. It unfolds in layers, sometimes gently and sometimes like a wave that takes you by surprise. Each step, each practice, each teacher has arrived at exactly the right time, bringing new awareness and another piece of the puzzle.
In the beginning, I explored the unseen layers of body and spirit through Reiki and Angelic Healing to Shamanic and Galactic frequencies, beautiful and powerful modalities in their own right. But for me, it was during Breathwork and soma practices that something truly shifted. The rhythm of my breath and the energy moving through my body, it opened a doorway. Emotions began to surface and release. Breathwork became a teacher that showed me how to feel rather than think or fix, to allow rather than chase.
As I trained to become a Breathwork practitioner, my curiosity about the nervous system and trauma patterns. I wanted to understand how our experiences and emotions imprint on the body, shaping our patterns and even our health. That exploration led me to Spinal Flow®, which felt like another missing link, a way to communicate directly with the body and help what had become blocked begin to move again.
During an immersive practitioner training, I witnessed the life force energy move through the body and melt away layers of stored pain and experiences. I saw transformation that words can barely describe, both in myself and others. It became clear that this was more than another modality I've tried. It was an invitation to work with the body’s innate intelligence, with life force itself.
But the deepest transformation didn’t happen during the sessions, though I experienced profound releases. It happened in between, in the quiet spaces where I integrated what I’d learned and experienced, and where life invited me to embody it. It was there that I met my wounded Inner Child, she had been present in my life for many months, and when I finally allowed myself to feel her pain and listen, something softened. The hurt became understanding, and the separation began to dissolve.
That’s when I truly understood: healing isn’t about finding the thing that fixes you. It’s about listening, trusting, and allowing each part of the journey to reveal what you’re ready for. Each layer matters. Each one brings you closer to remembering who you already are.
Where I Am Today
Today, I hold space for others to embark on their own healing journeys, just as I once did for myself. Through Gentle Touch, Guided Breath Journeys, Energetic Alignment and Trauma-Informed care, I support the Nervous System in finding safety, the body in releasing held patterns, and the spirit in reconnecting with its true light.
This journey is about coming home to yourself. It’s about learning how to observe your shadows and release them with compassion. Remembering who you are beneath the layers of stress, conditioning, and disconnection. To explore the in-between spaces where true transformation takes root.
If you feel the call to begin, know this:
You already hold everything you need within you.
I’m simply here to hold space as you remember.
Like carefully balanced stones on the shore, each truth holds its place.
Grounding me, guiding me, and rising together in harmony.
