It was a Sunday in October of 1980. The first snow was falling down in Stockholm Sweden. Just at the right moment, the stars aligned and created my birth chart, I took my first breath and my story began.  

​

A Scorpio Sun in the 6th house (Placidus system), was a clue that I would have a deep need to get to the bottom of things, to understand the underlying structures and the mysteries of how things work, and also want to be in service to help others illuminate their callings, paths and possibilities.

My childhood was spent traveling, mostly between Northern Europe and the United States. At age two I travelled around the world in 80 diapers with my Father, though he says it was way more than 80… 

​

After my parents separated, I felt I still had the best of both worlds growing up: school years in Finland and summers in California by the beach. What more can a girl ask for with a Gemini Rising and a Gemini Moon. 

​

At age 15, I started my career in the restaurant industry; pouring coffee in Mama’s Royal Cafe, in Mill Valley, CA. By age 19 I had moved to live in Spain, and became the head Bar Tendress of a busy night club on the tourist strip on the Costa del Sol by the Mediterranean Sea.

​

In 2004 I received a degree in Business Management, specialized in Hospitality and Service Management, from the Jyväskylä University of Applied Sciences in Finland. I traveled more around the world and worked and ran restaurants, bars and clubs in Finland, Spain, Honduras and San Francisco. 

At 27 I was the Operations Director for six San Francisco restaurant establishments and at age 28 I became a Mother.

​

Moving to West Marin to have my first child and break away from the fast pace of the City was fabulous. Two years later I started a catering company with my husband and a year after that, in 2011, I became the Director of our local bustling Community Center. 

 

During my seven years at the Bolinas Community Center:

• I organized over 70 events and facilitated hundreds of rentals for outside events

• Started a monthly online newsletter, updated the website and did community outreach 

• Created many successful fundraisers, fairs and festivals

• Over-viewed the construction and needed updates for:

  • The kitchen to become commercial kitchen compliant

  • The facility to get wheelchair accessibility -  especially to bathrooms

• Hired and trained personnel and Marin County’s Legal System's community service workers

• Created budgets, organized payroll, and oversaw the Center’s money transactions

• Helped bring the Community Center out of debt to a healthy and robust financial status

 

2018 I started doing business consulting and have been helping small  businesses with launches, business filings, website content creation, human resource management, fundraising, mailing list compilation, budget creation, marketing, social media, video and text editing as well as event planning.
