the first step
You’ve tried everything!
The Manifestation Machine is Broken!
You read the books, took the courses, listened to the gurus. You ate vegan bacon, detoxed your liver, and signed up for baby goat yoga. Your sock drawers are color-coded and you have repeated affirmations in front of your bathroom mirror for longer than you’re comfortable admitting.
Ideas, anybody!?
How much howling to the moon does it take? Why do you still feel the feels and do the deeds that keep you stuck? There must be a way to teleport yourself into achieving X&Y, and ride to the sunset- rich, famous, and fricking fabulous.
There’s always the lottery!
Wishful thinking is poison! You can influence your destiny more than you think, but it takes some hard core action for most of us to turn our dreams into reality. Taking the first step takes courage. It’s still only the first step. Building anything worthwhile takes a lot of work; A thriving business, a meaningful career, or a great relationship.
Change is inevitable!
You can’t stop time. Neither when things are cozy, nor when life serves you thorns without roses. Stop fighting, start growing. Step into your natural rhythm of planning and execution, of rest and work, fun and contemplation. Nature has its rhythm, and as a part of nature so do you. Getting into that natural flow will help you succeed, and enjoy, both roses or thorns.
THERE’S ALWAYS A WAY – A WAY IN, OUT, AROUND. SOMETIMES IT’S A SHORTCUT, OTHER TIMES IT’S A JOURNEY. IT’S NEVER WHAT YOU THOUGHT IT WOULD BE – IF YOU LET IT, IT’LL TAKE YOU SOMEWHERE AMAZING.
hi there
Nice to meet you.
My name is Nina. In 2000 I founded a small day spa in the center of Helsinki. I must’ve done something right, because in a few years, we grew an amazing clientele. Everything from working Moms to celebrities. From university students to parliament members. We rocked, that’s for sure!
….. and then I gave it up.
In 2016 I left Helsinki and moved to the US. Going from someone who worked with diplomats and ballerinas to an extraterrestrial nobody from planet Finland, isn’t something a sensible person would do. To tell you the truth, sensible didn’t seem like a great option anymore. I was very very very tired, I had run this ship for 16 years. It was time! I packed two suitcases and moved to Texas to see how my long-distance relationship of 5 years would work out with us living under the same roof. I told myself that if everything else fails, at least it’ll be sunny. 10 years later, I’m still a wifey.
The physical space of Texas gave me the headspace to develop my coaching method that takes advantage of how energy moves in time-space. Just like we must sow in the spring to be able to harvest in the winter, our human bodies follow a similar natural law. There’s a right time and way to do things for superior results. The 9 Fab Steps method helps you to build a strong foundation and gives you a structured way to work both on your personal growth and goals.

Karma is not a Bitch, Karma is a Boomerang!
My Background
In my twenties I co-founed a graphic design business. That was my unofficial business school / graphic design apprenticeship. I worked as a graphic designer and illustrator for a decade.
My thirties and forties were a whirlwind of getting through vocational college to get licensed in beauty and wellness, training for a Shiatsu Therapist Certification, raising children, working with clients, traveling the globe, and running a high-end service business.
In 2013 I was certificated as a life coach. Mainly because the training was in Portugal and I needed a reason to visit.
Today
I’m currently working as a wellness coach. This has tied all of the strings together; My entrepreneurship, my work as a Shiatsu therapist and esthetician, my lifelong love story with Buddhism, and my obsession with all things Feng Shui and 9 Star Ki (You can read more about the quality and movement of energy on my other site ninefabstars.com).
I’m an artist and a visionary at heart. That compels me to have a go at everything I’m interested in, including this site. You can blame me for the typos.
face your fears
Live your dream
My curious nature has gotten me in trouble and taken me places. I’ve bicycled through Europe, lived on a barge in France, and had 5 o’clock tea with a Bhutanese Princess.
Yeah, I know that’s interesting and all, but how’s it translating into being able to help others?
I think the word is trouble. I’ve gotten myself into all kinds of difficulties. I’ve found a way to deal and mend those situations. Often with the help of great teachers and mentors. Sometimes on my own.
I don’t know everything, but I’ve figured out something.
