  • Description

    Hi I'm Helena, I'm young at heart, easy going and play well with people of all ages.
    I grew up on an old farm in Sweden. I love to work with animals, big & small. I’m a self-starter and I'm used to working without supervision. I have a passion for upcycling furniture, paint etc to create appealing areas. Renovating, restoring, decorating has been a big part of my life. I have worked with interior /exterior renovation & decor projects for retail/restaurants/boats/homes in Sweden,UK & US. I'm artistic but also love to just paint, indoor or outdoor. If you have a sewing machine I'm happy to sew as well. I'm full with ideas in case you want to do brainstorming : D
    I'm also a brain & health coach if you have a wellness / retreat community I would be happy to share my experience and training.

    I am easy going, enjoy people of different cultures. As for diets, I generally prefer to eat healthy.

    Waiting to hear from you 😊
    Helena
