A one-way ticket isn’t always the way to change your life — but it was mine. 

In 2001, I left my home country of Finland and moved to New York City with one suitcase, a tourist visa, $600 to my name, no job, and no home — the classic “American Dream.” I thought I was living lightly.

But I quickly realized: even though I didn’t have many possessions, I was carrying a heavy load.

I searched for men, money, God, and happiness in all the wrong places. I got in trouble. I didn’t believe my master’s degrees and certifications were enough to land the job I wanted, so I started working as a stripper in a gentlemen’s club.

And I learned a lot.

It took me years to unpack the emotions, beliefs, and patterns I was carrying. I dove deep into personal development work. I stayed in temples. I visited ashrams. I realized I could get lost there, too. But I also found extraordinary teachers — and for them, I am forever grateful. 

I learned how easy it is to leave myself — to chase answers outside of me instead of listening within.

I learned how tempting it is to check out, to leave the space, to run from pain, discomfort, and shame.

I learned how easy it is to turn away from Spirit — and ignore the only voice that truly matters: my intuition.

So I began gathering my power back from the places I had left it — from people, places, and things. I studied soul charts (Akasha) and began clearing soul-level misunderstandings that had shaped my path for lifetimes.

I trained in fasting and indigenous healing ceremonies with Dr. Gabriel Cousens. I completed a 40-day fast on my own that became a life-altering spiritual initiation.

I began to integrate my inner and outer worlds.

I stopped trying to make my essence fit my business — and created a business that fit my essence.

I stopped searching for love outside of myself — and met my life partner, my vibrational match.

I allowed myself to rest. To be. To do absolutely nothing.

And let me tell you — that changed everything.

Now, I’m here to share these teachings with you.
