This world needs creative empaths and sensitive changemakers who have learnt to trust their inner authority and the guidance of their soul.

Hi, I am Riina Mai Puumalainen. I am a self-employed artist, writer, craniosacral therapist and nature guide based in Eastern Finland. I am also a toddler mum navigating the ever-evolving terrain of being a present, stay-at-home mother as well as a passionate creative and healer.

Through my own experience as a highly sensitive person and intuitive earth lover, I have come to understand that sensitivity is a true gift. Being able to trust our inner knowing and the guidance of the body is more important than ever in this age of external noise and endless information. 

I am also a big believer in the power of creativity. We all have the ability to imagine a better way for ourselves, our community and the planet. Our imagination combined with courageous, creative action is what helps to bring those visions to life. 

I hope to encourage other creatives, healers and changemakers to trust their gifts and inner guidance as well as their unique path in life. This mission is at the heart of everything I do.

E-BOOKS

I write about topics related to nature's wisdom, creative & authentic living and how to thrive in these wild and transformative times as a sensitive soul. All my books are 100% human (me!) made, and based on my lived experience. 

My hope for these books is to make empaths and creatives like myself feel seen, understood and supported. The world truly needs more people who've stepped into their inner authority and dare to live the life of their dreams – even if it doesn't make sense to others!

ART

I am a lifelong, passionate creative who nearly stopped making art because university studies in the theory of art made me believe I wasn't a real artist.

Thankfully life found ways to guide me back to painting and crafting. For the past 10+ years watercolour & acrylic painting as well as all kinds of creative projects have been there for me, like trusted friends, feeding my soul and strengthening my life force.

I belive art, creativity and environmental aesthetics are all forms of energy medicine. Surrounding ourselves with beauty (and creating more of it through our hands) has a healing effect on ourselves as well as the people and spaces around us. 

My intention is to create art that raises the energy of the space and brings harmony and light into the heart of the viewer. 

I find inspiration in nature, in the big and small miracles of life and in meaningful encounters with friends and strangers alike. For me, everything in life is art - how we dress, speak, love, and interact with the world. 

I welcome commissions and love collaborations, so feel free to contact me with your creative ideas.

CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY 

Craniosacral therapy is a gentle, hands-on healing modality that helps soothe the nervous system and realign the tissues of the body, releasing long-standing stresses and tensions.

It was developped in the 1970's and has since gained popularity worldwide due to its gentle approach and effectiveness in treating various, often complex, health conditions with success. 

My aim is to create a deep sense of safety within the clients system so that the body's self healing mechanisms can activate. As a therapist, my role is to support you and follow the guidance of your body as it figures out the best way to return to your natural state of balance and health.  

Craniosacral therapy is most commonly used for chronic pain, nervous system balancing, fascial realigning as well as managing stress and overwhelm. It also works wonders as a deeply relaxing, rejuvenating self-care session that helps you tune into your body's guidance and access wisdom from your soul.

I practice in Linnanpelto, Kuopio.
