My calling is to assist you in remembering who you truly are. When our Spiritual Awakening comes knocking, we can feel like to Tower tarot card on fire! Every aspect of our life is questioned: all forms of relationship, work, our identity, where and how we live. Those death and rebirth cycles never end, we just becomes more astute at recognising them and navigating them. Essentially, life is a big spiral, not linear.
I am here to offer you my support and guidance while you are deconstructing yourself, letting go of old patterns, feeling like you are going crazy and look at your life on the spin cycle. Remembering your Essence is the most precious gift life has to offer - that is what a spiritual awakening is about, not chasing eternal bliss - that’s escapist spirituality.
The grounded and embodied spirituality that I stand for will support you through the cycles of life (death + rebirth) with more ease and acceptance. This approach will bring you the sense of mastery instead of feeling that your only option is running away from the pain and discomfort though any form of addiction (from hard drugs to dopamine shots).
I have a naturally catalytic energy, so if you want change - you've come to the right person. My energy + the Roda map and guidance that offer = you having more confidence and ability to navigate the motions of your consciousness evolution.

My spiritual journey started long before I even understood what was going on...! My Soul chose to be born in Finland and to quickly move to Paris at the age of 6 months. So, I grew up in a foreign culture, teaching me adaptability, flexibility, and understanding deeply what it is like to be an outsider. My natural sensitivity was challenged by all these circumstances that taught me to protect myself very quickly, which resulted in my having to learn how to deconstruct a lifetime of conditioning by opening my heart in my adult years. Well, the more accurate term would be cracking my heart open to let the light in again. In my mid-twenties, my self-destruction reached its pinnacle and I crashed. Total burn out at the age of 27. My Soul had had enough and needed to course correct.
While I was trying to figure out what to do with myself and my life, I was recommended a Medium at the College of Psychic Studies in London's South Kensington. All things esoteric and spiritual were completely foreign territory to me but I thought "at this stage...why not?!" The accuracy of the reading got me thinking and so did the words of my grandmother who came through during the sitting ("it was about time that you came to this place and started developing your incredibly strong intuition"). A few weeks later, I enrolled in a psychic development class that I took for the next two years. That reading changed my life as I opened to the realms of Spirit. I reconnected with a part of myself that was completely dead.
I took a pause on my journey with spirit, while I got married and had two children. A few years later, I felt guided to read a book about shamanism and shortly after I did my first shamanic journey. As I reconnected with my shamanic roots, I found myself on a Vision Quest in the Pyrenees, followed by a plant ceremony. While the shamanic path opened up to me, my life started crumbling and I experienced one of the hardest times in my life. As my path unfolded, I came to understand that the root of my depression was mainly residing in me living everybody else's life but mine. This realisation brought some painful changes. In the meantime, I had started a diploma in Spiritual Counselling at the Holistic Healing College in London, leaving behind my advertising and marketing career. My life was being completely deconstructed. My many years of self-inquiry and development turned into my path. I strongly believe that one cannot guide others without clearing ourselves first. It is not authentic if not experienced first.
After the Vision Quest, I met a Paqo, an Incan Wisdom keeper, 11 years after I had had my first contact with spirit. This encounter led me to the Andes six months later to work with the Paqos. Reconnecting with the high mountains of Peru propelled me into a fast track Awakening. It has been an deep process since 2014, I have had to look at myself with an honesty and depth I never thought I had in me. While fleeing into my new found multidimensional realms and travelling the world, I realised that my expansion needed to be embodied and lived in the present moment, here on Earth with my boys. My work brings many aspects to the table - bridging the worlds, understanding the limitations of the mind, loving our humanness and manifesting it in daily self-love and acceptance.
The deepening of my work and path is now devoted to supporting people retrieving their connection to Spirit and the Earth, and remembering the ways of animistic consciousness- beyond conditioning and life occurrences (aka traumas) that led us to forget our beauty, freedom and potential.
Blessed be all living beings and spirits allies.
We are all here to walk each other home.
