Silja Helinä - Who am I
I Walk my Talk
I’ve always been sensitive to people’s emotions and the deep messages flowing within them. As a child, my body was incredibly receptive—I deeply enjoyed every sensation and feeling.
I spent my childhood in Kenya, East Africa as a missionary’s daughter, and my youth in the Sámi region of northern Lapland, Finland. Growing up in such diverse environments and among various cultures fostered a flexible mind.
I became a mother at a young age and graduated into my dream profession as a midwife. Unhappy with restricted medical approach, I developed a midwifery practice that resonated with me, first by moving to Australia for a couple of years to work. Upon returning to Finland, I founded my own private midwifery company, Vauvantai, through which I could influence Finnish birthing culture and family well-being.
When everything changes
Life, however, brought challenges and heavy experiences that caused me to withdraw from joy and energetic flow. Unfortunate accidents, a difficult childbirth, miscarriage, medical errors, and surgeries undermined my power. I rehabilitated myself repeatedly to move and work again, but grew weary of constant setbacks.
The connection between my body and mind vanished amidst ongoing pain and struggle. Unknowingly, I gave up. Simultaneously, I gave up on my sexual energy. Let me tell you now, never do that to yourself. In a state where sexual energy doesn’t flow and your body is entirely numb, it’s impossible to bring anything into life.
A New Path
The path of tantra opened to me after I had exhausted my body. Long-suppressed trauma and feelings of worthlessness screamed so loudly, that I had to listen. I slowly began seeking my way back to a pleasurable and dynamic life. I was introduced to tantra and attended my first course in 2017.
The initial steps were full of learning: recognizing my body’s boundaries, the power of holding someone’s hand, the awakening of small sensations through touch.
Now, years later, I experience a strong connection with others, recognize and navigate my trauma triggers more easily, and deeply enjoy whatever life brings.
To me, tantra is a journey of training the body and mind, exploring human existence, and creating a connection to one’s own and others’ genuine presence. I believe everyone has the right to live in full pleasure, peace, and connection. I can teach this to you as well, offering support and skills to discover the delicate world of your senses and a deep, healing connection.
Tantra entered my life when I felt I had lost my health, job, and femininity – everything valuable to me. I lost connection to my inner energy. Only after hitting rock bottom was I ready to face my body and emotions.
Holistic Coaching
As my body and energy became more familiar to me, I turned my attention to exploring the mind and understanding brain function.
The power of thought and the subconscious is a natural, new step in examining humanity and life. I graduated as a DRC mental coach in the fall of 2024 and a certified IEMT eye movement therapist in 2025.
I integrate these techniques into my coaching work and courses.
Change is easier and more lasting when approached on the levels of body, emotions, and mind.
Deep internal insight, followed by deeper understanding, is the quickest path to lasting change in life.

To You, my Friend
I see you and myself as energetically beautiful and magnificent souls, and that is a great gift. I can now guide others on the path that offers so much to this human experience. Today, I dare to be exactly who I am on the levels of mind, body, emotions, and subconscious, and to open up to growth ever so broadly.
