Your Coach
Hi, I’m Mirka Kristiina—author, transformative travel coach, and sustainable tourism professional. After burning out, I knew I needed space—not just from work, but from everything: my environment, my relationship, and the path I had been on. I stepped away completely, giving myself a 180-day sabbatical to heal. Through intentional solo travel, nature, and cultural immersion, I began to rediscover my creativity, inner strength, and clarity. That journey changed me—and set me on a new one.
Now, as a certified transformative travel coach (ICF/CCE) with a background in global tourism and branding, I help others navigate transitions and realign with who they truly are. I split my time between Finland and Spain, write under the name Kristiina Bruun, and create spaces for reflection, growth, and personal renewal—because sometimes, stepping away is the first step toward coming home to yourself.
