A midwife in Turku, Finland, who finds solace in the rhythmic prose of contemporary poetry and the history of women's medicine. My work is visceral and raw, and I look for books that capture the intensity of human experience. I’m a fan of 'autofiction' and memoirs that deal with the body and identity. My profile is a soft, natural aesthetic of Finnish forests, the Turku archipelago, and snippets of text that resonate with my daily work. I believe that birth is the ultimate story and we are all characters in a much larger narrative. I’m an amateur weaver and find that the repetition of the loom helps me process the long hours at the hospital. Always with a book and a tea.
