I offer heart-based meetings and support to people who long for a deeper connection.
I have been described as a warm-hearted and easily approachable person. It is important to me to create a safe and calm space for every client I meet, so that we can connect with the truth in the moment.
I have had a deep relationship with dreams since my childhood, and it is my passion to weave the wisdom of the dreaming back into our culture.
I'm a trained Mental Health Nurse, Physiotherapist, Creative Dream Guide and Forest Mind Instructor.
Compassion is not a relationship
between the healer and the wounded.
It’s a relationship between equals.
~Pema Chödrön
View of Life
I see that our Soul speaks through our sensations, emotions, impulses and dreams. These are a gateway for us to remember who we were, and still are, underneath all our conditioning. To awaken to this gives life to a new dream. I also see that our world needs more people who are connected to their inner wisdom. Our dreaming bodies are always connected to the web of life and higher guidance. We only need to listen.
Unimaa
Unimaa is a Finnish word and it means ‘dream land’ or 'the land of dreams'. To me this represents the inner space in which everything is possible. It is the soil of our psyche, the womb that holds the seeds of our potential. In this space we are the dreamers, creative beings who have the freedom to write a new story for our lives.
Previous Work Experience
I have many years of experience in holistic health care, mental health care and hospice care. I have served in Finland, Nepal and England.
Other Experience
I have practiced meditation for the last decade and have attended long silent retreats both solo and with groups. My curiosity towards Earth, the human psyche and wisdom traditions has led me to explore different lands and cultures in Europe and Asia. A few years ago my birthland pulled me back, and since then I have been tending to the relationship with my own roots.

I have participated in various courses and trainings around space holding, holistic wellbeing and healing, yet the most powerful training has been and continues to be my own lived experience – guided by Nature.

Some themes I’m familiar with
somatic work with emotions, needs and boundaries ~ working with personal and ancestral trauma ~ creating rituals and ceremonies ~ awakening and dark night of the soul ~ working with archetypal energies ~ dialogue between mind and body ~ premonitions and clairvoyance ~ working with the inner child ~ process of differentiation ~ healing body shame ~ illness as initiation ~ burnout and recovery ~ living as an empath and highly sensitive being
The core values of my work:
authenticity
confidentiality
honoring nature
connection to resources
compassion as a compass
trusting one’s innate wisdom
honoring differences and boundaries
giving space to everyone’s personal process
looking after myself and meeting my own shadow
All my offerings are based on an intuitive, trauma-sensitive, resource-oriented and holistic approach. I honor the wisdom within you. It is not my task to tell you how to live your life but to call forth the knowing and resources that are already within you. I will meet you from a place of wholeness and create a safe space in which you can become met exactly as you are.
Nina is a wonderful, empathic space holder who exudes deep wisdom.

in which you can simply be yourself
and find what is true within you.
