Description

Hello! I’m Martina – a social worker, yoga teacher and life-loving soul from Sweden (originally Germany).

I moved to Sweden in 1984, have two grown children, and feel deeply grateful that they were able to grow up in such a wonderful country. Now that they are living their own lives, it’s my turn to spread my wings, follow my dreams, and explore more of this beautiful world.

Who am in?

I’m a warm, positive and open-hearted person who has always loved meeting people and experiencing new cultures.
Ever since I was 15, I’ve had two big dreams:

1. to have two children


2. to see as much of the world as possible



Both dreams are still alive within me.

My background & experience?

I’ve worked for nearly 30 years as a social worker within the social services system, mainly in psychosocial support, counselling, crisis intervention, family support and youth work.
I’ve also lived in Spain for two years, working in sales.

In recent years, my life has shifted in a more holistic direction. I am now:

a certified Hatha and Yin yoga teacher

a massage therapist

a long-time practitioner of Transcendental Meditation (15+ years)

passionate about wellbeing, mindfulness and soulful living


Practical skills?

I enjoy physical work and love using my hands. I’m not afraid to get dirty, work hard, or take on tasks that require strength and endurance.

I love gardening and nature, and I’m especially curious to learn more about permaculture.
I also have a big heart for animals and would gladly help with animal care or welfare projects.

I thrive in environments where I can:

engage in hands-on work

support people

contribute to a calm and grounded atmosphere

assist in homes, gardens or community projects

live simply and close to nature

be part of a meaningful community


💛 My values

What motivates me is making a genuine difference — in someone else’s life and in my own.
I want to live more simply for a while, focus on what truly matters, and continue helping beings — humans or animals — who need support and cannot always speak for themselves.

Money is not my driving force. I once had plenty, but I never let it define me. What matters to me is connection, compassion, purpose and joy.
