STELLA ADLER TRAINED ACTRESS
I was born in Finland, in the early 1980's. My mother is a poet and my father a house builder from an old industrial bloodline.
I've studied performing arts and screenwriting in New York City and in Helsinki. My theatrical home is in The Stella Adler Studio of Acting, NYC. I've studied privately with Anthony Zerbe, who will remain as my life long teacher and coach and one of the biggest supporters on my acting career.
I'm a mother of one and I work with selected charity organizations.
To support my creative path I write, photograph, direct, paint, model and produce. I also coach people with their personal growth.
My first book, a best seller, was released in September 2017. The book was awarded with *the best sports book of the year 2017 -title. My 6th non-fiction book will be published in October 2022.
I give public speeches about trauma and abuse recovery, mental health and self-discovery. For bookings, private coaching and consultation, contact me here.
