First and foremost, I see myself as a mother, grandmother, wife, and a horse enthusiast. The best thing I know is wandering through the forest with my loved ones, dogs, and horses.

I am a nurse (MHC / UAS), brief and family psychotherapist, coach/supervisor, and EASEL Trainer. I completed the EASEL Instructor training in 2007, and since then, it has been an integral part of both my work and life.

I work as a psychotherapist and coach/supervisor for professionals, workplace communities, and line managers in our family company Kotatuli in Rovaniemi. So, if you want to experience EASEL in Northern Finland, reach out! At Savikko, I am one of the visiting facilitators in EASEL Facilitator training programs.

Professionally, my career has been dedicated to walking alongside, guiding, and supporting people of all ages through different life stages. I have spent the longest part of my career in our family business in the field of child protection, working as a foster mother, entrepreneur, manager, and therapist. In addition, I actively provide coaching/supervision, training, and lectures.

My areas of expertise include developing interpersonal skills, experiential social and emotional learning incorporating animal- and nature-assisted methods, social neuroscience in everyday life, and attachment-based therapeutic work.
