“Many thanks to you for the journey we were able to take together. Although we already had experience of therapy as a couple, both individually and together, we still felt that you gave us concrete tools for everyday life, also with a view to the future. Our relationship has had its challenging moments, and we also experienced some during our joint therapy journey. You were a true professional and impartial, without taking sides. We will definitely return to your practice if (and when) the time is right. Thank you, Miia!” – Couple

“My spouse and I have gotten things on the right track thanks to working with you. The situation was very chaotic when we started working together, and I didn't even know where to begin.You were very good at identifying the challenges that needed to be addressed, providing insights and solutions, and of course, putting them into practice, which brought a whole new energy to our relationship. You are wonderfully relaxed and very approachable, and you genuinely care about people. I never once felt like I was just a client; every time , I felt truly seen and heard. I gained a lot from our work together. I can now value myself and my relationship in a completely different way. I received really good advice and skills for dealing with different conflicts and for being more forgiving towards myself. You gave me the confidence and belief in myself that I greatly needed and wanted in order to be able to solve everyday challenges and dare to be honest about them with my partner. Thank you . " - Eve -

"Miia has been very present, encouraging, and supportive. She has given me good, concrete advice , for example on creating a Tinder profile , and I have also received good and rewarding support for my deeper reflections. Thank you, Miia!" - Mira -

“I was in contact with Miia when my separation was at its most acute. I had accumulated a lot of knowledge about various aspects of personal growth through my work and studies, but I realized that I needed the support of another (outside) person. I had also been thinking for a long time that sex counseling/therapy would be a good idea, as I had been struggling with issues related to sex and sexuality. 

“With Miia, I had a safe space to explore sexuality and relationship issues. Just talking helped me deal with things. The goal we set together was to recognize and articulate my own needs and boundaries. The encouragement and tasks between meetings helped me put the ideas from our discussions into practice. In addition to our meetings, Miia also provided me with additional tools, such as articles, questions, and a recommendation for another professional whose services I could benefit from. 

Working with needs and boundaries will probably continue for the rest of my life. I learned many things from our work together, but I would like to mention here the power and cultivation of presence (also) in matters related to sexuality, as well as the discussions I had with Miia about expressing my own needs in relationships and other human interactions.

Thank you, Miia, for your warmth, calmness, and safe mirroring. This was a valuable journey ❤.” - Jasminella

“I have been really happy, satisfied, and grateful to work with Miia. She is warm, confident, and very reliable. Miia does not try to dominate. She listens and is honestly present in situations. Miia has a special ability to stay in the background and guide the meeting forward with only brief comments, but during the meetings I noticed that I had undergone some really big changes in the issues we discussed with Miia. The most important thing that came out of our meetings was a sense of self-worth, specifically regarding my sexuality and femininity. " - Kirsi

"Talking with Miia felt really natural. Even difficult topics could be discussed very openly, and Miia created a really safe space for sharing my feelings and experiences. In some areas where I may have been underestimating myself, Miia provided support and encouragement. Miia doesn't let you off too easily, but in a good way, she challenges you to think things through and find the answers within yourself. I highly recommend her!" - Patricia -

“Working with you was super rewarding for us. Even though we feel like we have a really communicative and open relationship where we can talk about tough stuff, working with you helped us say so much out loud that we'd never expressed before. Our sessions together really moved our relationship forward, in a much better direction. We were so inspired by the experience that we even decided to make these joint discussion times a planned, regular part of our everyday lives.” - Couple -

We live a busy life with small children, and our relationship has been neglected. Sleep deprivation alone has meant that our free time is often spent resting and relaxing. In addition, we had just experienced a great loss that affected both of us and our relationship. It is really good to stop and reflect and talk together. Especially in the midst of a hectic life with small children, this is something we do far too little. The loss we experienced made this even more meaningful. With Mii's help, we were able to focus on important issues. Mii has a wonderful ability to be present and ask questions that bring out both of our thoughts. In concrete terms, we tried certain things and made changes, and taking time for our relationship also improved the sexual side of our relationship.The most important thing we learned from this is that we consciously stopped and are now better at stopping. It is really good to discuss things with someone outside the relationship facilitating the conversation. The work reminded us to consciously take more time for our relationship. - Couple -

Feedback from London customers in English:

I felt lost as I had gone through a divorce only a year ago—I was lost with low self-esteem, low self-confidence, I did not know how to start nor where to start. Working with Miia gave me a structure for clearer thinking, it gave me tangible elements to hang on to, a new approach to life situations, a wider perspective on seeing things, at times also a wilder way to see things! Now I feel much stronger inside. It's like I've found my inner values, I feel positive and I know what to do when I have doubts. I am ready for anything life will throw my way.

Thank you, Miia. - Vanessa -

Before my sessions with Miia, I didn't really believe it was possible for me to meet anyone. At only 41 years old, I had given up hope and couldn't find the motivation to look for a partner. Through our sessions together I came to the realization that there were many potential partners out there for me, I just had to know what I was looking for, know where to look, and then commit to the exploration! Now, instead of anxiety and dread which didn't help me move forward, I approach dating and new relationships with excitement and confidence. Thank you Miia" - Liz -

“Miia helped me open my mind and see a new perspective on dating. It has been fun exploring new partners and being more experimental with types, sex, and relationships. Thank you!" - Anne -

“I'd been stuck in a rut for a while. Complaining that meeting men was hard, that dating apps weren't for me, longing for love, connection, and male energy in my life, but lacking the energy and clarity to do something about it. I loved Miia's 'love yourself first' approach. I knew this was the first step on the path to loving another. Miia gently and respectfully led me to acknowledge attitudes that weren't serving me and how subtle adjustments in my perspective could produce powerful changes in my experience. Miia positively encouraged me to concentrate on myself and my feelings around men to understand how I was creating unsatisfying dynamics. It was great to have someone to talk to on a regular basis, to ask me challenging questions and orient me on a relaxed, authentic path of self-awareness. Now, I'm dating two lovely men. Something I never would have considered doing before, but this is what has evolved and I'm very happy. I feel beautiful, open, and bright. I've taken responsibility for bringing joy into my own life and for generously sharing that with others. Thanks Miia! - Sheryn -

“After separating from my wife, I found myself in a directionless rut and self-destructive downward spiral. I decided to get in touch with Miia to help me find a new partner. Miia didn't help find me a new partner. Miia saved me from myself. Mentally, I was spiraling out of control, a combination of ruined confidence and damaged ego ensured my perspectives and objectives were skewed beyond recognition. I was on the verge of spending a fortune on superfluous items, sports cars, hair transplants, you name it, the rest of the time I was bordering on deep depression.

Miia instinctively knew how to help. At times, her prompt, reliable phone call and breath of cheerful positivity was the only beacon of light in my life. Miia was an adaptable, compassionate, and positive mentor, coach, and guide. She helped me intrinsically understand that true self-worth, confidence, and happiness must come from within each of us, that relationships should complement and not be the answer to our lives. Miia provided some exceptional reading material and understands life's problems and issues on a practical, emotional, and philosophical level. I felt comfortable talking to Miia about anything, and each answer or question she raised was thoughtful and deeply considered. Throughout the sessions, Miia helped me understand that before I am ready to find a new partner, I must first find myself, and that once I have gained confidence, self-worth, and happiness, I will be in a much better place to find a partner who is right for me.

Miia helped me put the brakes on a self-destructive downward spiral and somehow managed to connect with my rational inner self, who to everyone else, including myself, was lost. I not only credit Miia with saving me from myself, but also with being the most influential person I have ever met in my life. Thank you, Miia. “ - Oliver -

“I felt stuck in my dating life before the sessions. I had the impression that no matter what I was doing, I was always ending up back at square one. I was feeling frustrated with modern dating and looking for some help to break the cycle. A friend of mine recommended Miia and we were put in touch. After our initial phone conversation, I thought that working with you would provide me with a "fresh set of eyes" on my dating life as well as some feedback on my efforts. 

 I thought the sessions were very helpful in focusing my mind on my own thought and action patterns. The sessions helped me to realize that I was very often acting on assumptions and expectations rather than what was actually happening. We also worked on self-confidence, self-assurance, and accepting myself as I am when dating (rather than trying to change myself). This made the dates themselves much more enjoyable and less stressful. 

While we were working together I met someone and we are now dating, so that has been a great outcome (Update: 2023 they got married!) While I am still working on self-acceptance, I am more aware of my thought patterns and question my assumptions more often. 

Miia is very kind and compassionate, and I enjoyed the sessions we had together. I am grateful for this experience and the nudges you were able to give me that helped me change some of my actions/reactions in dating. - Anna -

“When I first spoke to Miia on the phone, I connected with her right away. She had a very warm voice and a direct, honest approach, which made me open up and be honest with her about my issues from the very beginning. I didn't realize how much my values and beliefs were holding me back from being myself in a relationship until I started to open up to Miia. I discovered that my culture and other external factors were playing a big part in my relationship. Through Miia, I learned the importance of the relationship with ourselves. Also, with Miia's excellent and spot-on questions, it was brought to my attention the attachment theory, which I was aware of but never thought would have a direct effect on the relationship. It was like a lightbulb moment, and I took it from there as I knew what was going wrong in my relationship. I discovered so much about myself and relationships, and I owe that to her. - Lindita -

“I was not goal-oriented and didn't spend time reflecting on what I wanted to do next. I knew I wanted to meet someone, I was being active, but a lack of confidence held me back and led to poor choices. This hindered me. I was able to set goals with Miia on a week-to-week basis, and she tracked my progress each week by listening to my updates—progress and supporting me to realize and set my own goals. Now, as a result, I am able to make better decisions, reflect more before I react, and I am a much more confident person now when going on dates and even meeting people. I am able to choose more wisely on who I invest my time in. I have learned to love myself and be grateful for what I do have thanks to Miaa. Miia will refer you to interesting material and studies on confidence, love styles, and other interesting materials that will help you go deeper into learning about yourself and your journey in whatever kinds of life goals you hope to achieve.” - Shama -

I had given up on finding a partner, was very disillusioned with dating culture and wondering if I would ever understand the mindset, actions or language of men. I had really reached a point of seeing the opposite sex as a different breed. Miia is a great person to talk to, she’s not judgemental and simply posed the questions of trying other responses to situations and accepting different ways how people approach dating. She used the word "acceptance" on several occasions, which really resonated with me and gave me some tools for adjusting my expectations of dating behavior and some nice philosophies on relationships and self-acceptance. As a result, I have tried progressing with potential partners whom I might not have otherwise considered. I'm also a lot calmer about the process of meeting someone and looking for stronger qualities in a partner than merely superficial or instant chemistry. I also find it easier to choose better and dismiss someone whose behavior doesn't work for me and to trust my own true feelings about the situation. - Sachca -

“I was struggling with feelings of low self-worth after a divorce and realized that the confident person that was emerging to others and looked like they were thriving was not reflected on the inside. Over the sessions that we had and through a series of reflective questions, I was able to piece back together my core values and to drill down to aspects of my life that bring me real joy and happiness. I explored self-love and how without this we are unable to fully love or feel loved by another. Through the work I was able to clarify my understanding of the commitment of marriage, or indeed any relationship, and that it should support and nurture both parties to evolve into the best version of themselves. I understood how much of myself I had self-compromised and been expected to compromise in my marriage which actually served neither of us.

I feel my connections with my friends more deeply and genuinely feel their love for me and mine for them. My journey of self-development is ongoing, but the groundwork in self-love enabled by Miia has been invaluable in allowing me to move forward. - Emily -

Miia is an incredibly professional coach. I was new to online dating and set out to find a new relationship with a special someone. Miia helped me to clarify how I could achieve this and to recognize my strengths and further my belief in myself. When you have been out of this world for a long time, having such an amazing coach help me find my feet enabled me to hit the ground running and to gain confidence in asking for and getting a date. She helped me recognize the value of honesty in setting the tone for a relationship to blossom, and this did in fact enable me to have some very positive dating experiences. - James -

​

The coaching sessions with Miia really revealed to me how complex relationships can be due to our own personal experiences in life, shaping the way we can approach and hinder our potential in relationships. The coaching sessions gave me a refreshing perspective of how love and friendship can be with romantic partners. I gained more insight into how my values and desires were in conflict with one another. I became aware of how much of other people's beliefs and opinions I was carrying, which was keeping me stuck or walking around in circles. I have definitely realized how receptive a person I am and therefore the level of boundaries as well as really honoring my feelings and wants. Should the potential person not respect what it is I feel or align with what it is I want and see as a must, it is then important to stand firm with that and trust in myself, that my decisions matter and hold value, and that I do not need validation from. Overall, I feel like I have shed a layer of doubt and understand that there is no one clear path to a perfect relationship, nor rules or regulations to follow to achieve it.

Thanks, Miia! - Camz -

I found Miia to be immensely insightful and an extremely professional dating coach. She used incisive questioning to cut through my self-doubt and the preconceived ideas which had been limiting me in many ways. By encouraging goals which pushed my comfort zone between sessions , Miia ensured I stayed accountable and celebrated with me when I took small steps which led to big and exciting opportunities in areas of my life which extended beyond dating. Miia's skilled coaching meant I was able to shift my attitude and recognize the value of developing a wider social circle and meeting the sort of people I might potentially like to date rather than limiting my options by only connecting with individuals. This was a revelation and has changed the way I look at dating and life in general.

Miia is an excellent and inspiring dating coach. - Suzanne -

I found Miia's coaching incredibly helpful in enabling me to take the next steps with dating. The key aspect for me was spending time figuring out what type of relationship I want and with whom. Working with Miia gave me the confidence to move forward and begin to have a different and much more positive approach to dating. Miia's style of coaching is superb, I felt at ease, listened to, all in an open and trusting space. We did a session on my limiting beliefs, which really helped me get to the bottom of some unhelpful chattering in my mind that has definitely got in the way of me beginning to date again. I love the coaching concept that Miia is pursuing and I cannot wait to see where this leads to as I feel there is a huge need for coaches like Miia. - Clare -

It's been a pleasure to work with Miia. I had contacted her in order to work on “how to create a good relationship”. I had 6 sessions with her and have found her to be inspirational, practical and always working for my best interest. She is good at making you think deeper about what you really want in the various areas of your life. The best part for me was her skill at asking open questions and digging deeply into the issue. Her listening skills are excellent, which allowed me to create a good rapport and helped me open up. After each session, the action plan we created helped me stay focused and on track and perform all the tasks.
. Thanks, Miia, for the time and effort you put into our sessions. - Asia -

I really enjoyed my sessions with Miia and found her to be extremely effective in supporting me with the subjects we discussed. Always highly professional, she listened very well, was able to respond to the subject close to my heart, helping me to find solutions and strategies, and offering advice when asked. I really liked her nature—so easy to talk to and immensely reassuring about things that were worrying me. I just felt she "got it" and has given me tools in which to move forward. I couldn't recommend her more highly!- Charlotte -

I have been very impressed by Miia for the following reasons. Miia exudes warmth and sensitivity. She has empathy and good listening skills, which makes her a very good coach. She can help her clients refocus by asking appropriate questions. Above all, she builds trust and rapport. I wish her every success. - Anita -

​​

I went to see Miia thinking I need to meet someone soon or I’ll just stop dating altogether! I was really disheartened by the lack of decent men out there. When I started working with Miia, I soon realized it wasn't so much about "no decent men out there" but that it was my mindset...! I've worked with her for 3 months now and am now attracting really interesting men into my life and exploring things with a couple of them... Thank you for showing me a better way to relate to dating, Miia. - Sophie -
