Healing has always been more than just physical for me. Over the years, my path has naturally evolved from spa and massage therapy into a deeper, more intuitive approach to bodywork — one that honors the connection between body, mind, emotions, nervous system, and spirit.
Originally from Estonia, I was raised during the deep Soviet era — a time shaped by silence, resilience, hard work, and emotional suppression. Growing up within those environments gave me a deep understanding of endurance, sensitivity, and the unspoken layers people often carry within themselves. In many ways, those early experiences became part of the foundation of both my strength and my healing journey.
My own healing journey has deeply shaped the way I work today. After experiencing significant health challenges and periods of personal transformation, I found myself drawn into deeper healing work — exploring emotional release, ancestral healing, embodied movement, somatic practices, and spiritual connection in a much more profound way.
Part of this journey guided me to Peru, where I worked alongside shamans and immersed myself in practices connected to ancestral healing and ancient wisdom traditions. Through these experiences, as well as shamanic de-armouring work, I began to reconnect more deeply with myself, my sensitivity, intuition, and sense of purpose.
With more than 10 years of experience in the wellness industry, including a Diploma in Remedial Massage, I bring both professional knowledge and heartfelt presence into my work. My background has been primarily within spa and holistic wellness settings, where I developed a deeply nurturing and restorative approach to bodywork.
Alongside Sacred Layers, I also co-created Sacredness — offering luxurious four-hand massage experiences for clients, corporate retreats, and wellness events seeking an unique experience, where two therapists work in synchronicity to create a blissful and immersive experience.
Through Sacred Layers, I bring together therapeutic bodywork, intuitive care, and years of spa experience into treatments designed to support the person as a whole.
My work is guided by the belief that healing often begins in the moments where we allow ourselves to slow down, listen, be present, trust, and become open to receiving. Through my own experiences, I have come to understand that healing is rarely linear — it moves through many layers, often in ways we do not expect. Sometimes even the smallest moment, insight, or shift can become the beginning of a much deeper transformation.
Over time, I’ve learned that all of these layers are sacred — even the ones that feel messy, uncertain, or uncomfortable. They are often the places where the deepest healing and growth emerge.
I also deeply believe in the power of safe, intentional touch. It helps by bringing people back into balance and connection with their bodies, softening emotional holding, and creating space for the body to naturally let go, restore and heal.
At the moment, I am also deepening my studies through Oncology Massage training, allowing me to better support people navigating cancer and other significant health challenges with greater sensitivity, care, and understanding.
Based on the Sunshine Coast, I offer treatments from Revival Health Labs Noosaville in a calm, grounded, and welcoming healing environment.
I look forward to welcoming you.
