I am here for the truth that lives within the wilderness of our bodynature.
Hello, my name is Nina and I work as a somatic soul guide, as an equal ally on your awakening journey. My offerings are guided dreamwork and deep, embodied listening and mirroring. I live in and work from North Karelia, Finland.
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 love to live simply and in harmony with the natural world.
Nature is not just an outside place for me. It is both an internal and external – a constantly breathing, living and interacting ecosystem. In the mirror of the outer nature I can hear my inner nature and remember that there is only one Nature naturing itself.
Dreams are close to my heart, and my passion is to do my part in weaving their wisdom back into our culture – to call forth the dreamer that lives within all of us. I have had a deep relationship with dreams since my childhood, and I see this whole life as one big dream – a continuous dance between day and night.
I have always been curious about healing and the deeper currents of life. The unseen realm is as real, if not even more real, to me as the world we see with our physical eyes. I have lived through many challenges, which have ultimately helped me to meet others in a deeply compassionate way.
I love creative and somatic writing. You can read some of my musings in this website's blog and on my instagram page.
Compassion is not a relationship
between the healer and the wounded.
It’s a relationship between equals.

View of Life
I see that our untamed, original Nature 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 Nature’s wisdom – people who trust their inner guidance. Our dreaming bodies are always connected to the web of life and higher guidance. We only need to listen, so that we can hear again.
Unimaa
Unimaa is a Finnish word and it means ‘dreamland’. 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.
Training
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.

I’m here to offer you a safe space
in which you can simply be yourself
and find what is true within you.
