ABOUT ME

​

I was born and raised in Sweden. At 18 I left home for Paris, and travelled the world as a fashion and fitness model. In my late twenties I discovered the healing arts as a way to address my own imbalances after years of eating disorders and the traumas of coming from a broken home. I found health and wholeness through breath work, yoga, water therapy, good food, and creative expression. I wanted to learn more.

In 1994, I landed and settled in California, and passionately dove into my holistic health study and practice. I received certifications for many forms of massage therapies, yoga, colon therapy, Watsu, and movement therapy. Living in Los Angeles, I launched my practice as Ninaya’s Walking Day Spa & Healing Journeys, offering services to the stars, leading workshops and events. I travelled throughout the country as a healer, yoga teacher, transformational retreat leader, and movement facilitator.

In 2004 I arrived in Santa Barbara and settled down to build a family, home birthed two healthy boys, and made the Central Coast my new home. Since my kids were born, my work has grown into a more intimate private practice, working with all kinds wonderful people on the path toward greater health.

Today, I integrate thirty years of experience, adventure, and teaching into my current concierge health protocols as a Holistic Wellness Guide. It is truly an honor and a blessing to help you connect with your own self healing human as we build a vibrant path to healthy living and loving.
