It was the year 2016 when I was working as a dental hygienist. After each workday, my hands and entire body ached due to the physically demanding nature of the job and challenging working postures. I said out loud that I wanted to do something else for a living. The very next day, I called a career psychologist and booked an appointment for the following week. As a result of that visit, one profession clearly stood out — physiotherapist.

​

Very quickly, I developed a strong feeling that physiotherapy was what I wanted to do and what I would be good at. That same week, I resigned from my job and applied to school. I was accepted into Karelia University of Applied Sciences to study physiotherapy.

​

Even before graduating, I knew that I didn’t want to stay in Finland but wanted to move to the Costa del Sol — and that’s exactly what I did. I was the first Finnish physiotherapist in Benalmádena, and there was a clear need for a skilled physiotherapist in the area. I left dental hygiene work behind and focused fully on developing myself as an expert in the human body, movement, and mobility.

​

My dedication paid off. Through annual professional training, countless hours of self-study, analysis of client feedback, and hands-on work experience, I can confidently say that I provide each client with a relaxed and safe environment where they receive individualized, client-centered, and high-quality physiotherapy.

Pain and functional impairments of the body are major obstacles to well-being. Insufficient physical activity, repetitive and monotonous working postures, injuries and accidents, surgeries, as well as functional problems caused by overuse or poor alignment, commonly create challenges and disrupt everyday life. Mood declines, social interaction decreases, and overall well-being suffers — or rather, a lack of well-being becomes evident.

​

People are more well when they are pain-free and when the body functions optimally. Well-functioning individuals feel healthier, are happier, more satisfied, more social, and cope better with both daily life and work. Well-being therefore became the guiding value and goal of my company — and the reason why I do this work.

​

I founded Fysioona in Spain with a clear purpose: to promote people’s well-being and, through that, improve their quality of life.

​

Well-being should be sustainable, as it is a vital resource in our everyday lives. We must first feel well ourselves in order for those around us to feel well. In my opinion, well-being belongs to everyone.
