About me

I’m currently studying to become a sports massage therapist at the Finnish Sports Massage Institute (Suomen Urheiluhierojaopisto) and will graduate as a licensed massage therapist in June 2025. Starting in autumn 2024, I will be working as a massage therapist for Finland’s U21 national football team (Pikkuhuuhkajat).

I have a diverse background in sports. Strength training has always been my biggest passion, but I’ve also practiced swimming, running, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, and kettlebell training. I’ve competed in powerlifting at the national level, so I personally understand how essential body maintenance is for both performance and recovery.

​

During my studies, I’ve had the opportunity to work with a wide range of athletes, including:

​

• Finland U21 National Football Team (Pikkuhuuhkajat)

• HJK Men’s Veikkausliiga Team

• HIFK Men’s and Women’s Ice Hockey League Teams

• Track Sprinters

​

You’re welcome to book a massage regardless of your background or goals! Whether you’re looking to relax, recover, or optimize your performance, I’ll tailor the treatment to suit your individual needs. While I specialize in body maintenance for athletes and active individuals, I approach every client with care and a holistic mindset. My treatments are calm, attentive, and always focused on your well-being – my goal is to help you feel better.

​

The best at work

​

The most rewarding part of my work is seeing my clients benefit from the massage and getting the help they need. Returning clients and their positive feedback especially motivate me to keep growing and improving in my work.

​

Future

​

I’ve truly found my calling, and I’m committed to continuously developing my skills. Next, I plan to train in acupuncture and jaw muscle massage, as well as obtain a personal trainer certification so I can offer even more comprehensive support to my clients.
