Current Australian First Aid
Originally from Finland, I’ve always been a seeker, and my early love for travel led me to explore the world in my twenties. A study abroad program in 2009 brought me to Byron Bay, Australia—a place that would change the course of my life forever.
I instantly felt connected to the land and the culture, and it wasn’t long before I developed an undeniable bond with the ocean and surfing. Byron Bay became my spiritual home—a space where my soul could truly settle. But, as with all journeys, it was not without its challenges.
Before aligning with my true path of embodied transformation and inner alchemy, I spent years in corporate marketing in Sydney, feeling stressed and disconnected as I struggled to fit into a system that didn’t serve me. Alongside this, I faced a rare autoimmune condition that conventional medicine couldn’t explain or heal. These struggles were pivotal—they led me to alternative therapies, plant medicine, and spiritual teachings, igniting my personal journey of healing and awakening.
Since then, I’ve dedicated thousands of hours—and countless resources—studying alternative healing modalities, energy medicine, bodywork, reiki, tantra, and more. I’ve sat in plant medicine ceremonies and worked with spiritual mentors, unraveling layers of conditioning, shedding limiting beliefs, and activating my intuitive wisdom. Through these experiences, I’ve discovered my path, one of deep embodiment, spiritual growth, and authentic self-expression.
Today, I am honoured to walk beside courageous souls, guiding them to rediscover their inner magic, heal their bodies and spirits, and embody their true essence. I believe that true transformation happens when we connect deeply with our bodies, embrace the wisdom they hold, and step into our limitless potential.
If this resonates with you, I would love to connect and support you along your journey of healing and expansion.
With Aloha and Alchemy,
Annina
