I was born and raised in Estonia. For a big part of my life, I lived abroad and then returned to Estonia to re-connect with my roots. My interests since childhood have revolved around psychology. I was and still am - with more structure, but with same level of curiosity - interested in why people tend to do what they do, especially if the actions, emotions and thoughts don’t really match, where it comes from and what can be done, if we experience suffering. And then of course, how to move forward towards something that we deeply want to experience. I have spent a lot of time in my adult life on these questions, it’s fascinating just how different life experience can be for us and there is always more to learn.
Throughout my career, I've embraced a holistic approach, combining both traditional and alternative methods to psychological health. I am a mind-body practitioner, meaning that I find it important to pay attention to how different systems within us connect and resonate. Sometimes we may think our way out of something, but our body continues to react to it, so a bottom-up approach is needed. Many times, when it comes to trauma, our bodies hold valuable information and will actually help us release old or stuck patterns. Sometimes we do need to work on the cognitive level for more awareness and connecting to alternative meaning, but more often than not, addressing the different systems including our nervous system, is more efficient and allows for more complete resolution.
My background is in psychology, somatic psychology, SE and intuitive development. I always work with the client on an equal plane and I see the process we go through as one of co-operation, with me being in a supportive role with the tools and presence that I offer. I believe whatever in life is stuck, causing pain or in resistance, it's all workable, there is a way towards a more meaningful, connected and loving everyday experience. I appreciate that you found your way to my page and I encourage you to go for it. Whatever you are looking to shift. There is always a potential for resolution and healing, feeling more in touch with ourselves and accessing more depth, more love and more life.
Apart from things psychology-related, I love to spend time outdoors, connect with my friends, do yoga and practice energy work.
