“I’m filled with unconditional compassion and a loving light and that shines right from my heart to yours”
Welcome to my travel, style and wellness blog; a loving, healing space to connect and inspire. A place for the magic makers, the dreamers, the wild at heart, to all those who long to express their inner worlds through creativity and love.
My blog is a co-creation with my wonderful husband/photographer Bobby Bense. We travel the world, and our own backyard, with our two children, capturing nature and creating beautiful imagery to inspire others to care for our earth and discover the life of their dreams.
We are a Finnish – Australian – American family, living our dream of a beach lifestyle, in the sunshine filled paradise of Western Australia.
We are passionate about sustainability, living a plant based lifestyle, health and wellbeing. We love luxury travel, sharing the best hotels and accommodations, along with the simple moments at home with our family – stargazing, sunset swims, beach picnics and wildlife encounters. My family is my number one greatest achievement in my life. Time and experiences with them is what I love and cherish most.
Prior to the emergence of of my blog, I spent more than 15 years of my life working as a biomedical naturopath and healer. I specialised in the area of nutrigenomics, working worldwide with children with autism spectrum disorders. After a successful and rewarding career, and a much needed break, I decided to journey back to my creative roots. Leaping heart first into the realm of style and travel, I embarked upon one of the most healing journey’s of my life. Creating this blog has been continually transforming and evolving as I grow and dream bigger and wilder.
When I’m not working, you’ll find me at the beach. I stand up paddle board regularly for exercise and I love to snorkel, exploring the magic of the underwater world. I play classical guitar and love to play music together with my children. I love to cook and create new recipes. I’m plant based going on 5 years now and I deeply love and cherish all animals.
I will always choose experiences over things. Sunsets over TV. Nature over indoors. Beach picnics over restaurants. Family time over anything. I’m married to the most incredible man who I love whole heartedly. Each day I count my blessings for my family and cherish every moment of this love.
