Niina M K Strobel

My experience in my own words.
From a very early childhood I always knew that my life would be one of many travels, whereby I experience different aspects of life. My motto was always, "Anything Is Possible." I was born in Finland, raised in Sweden during teenage years and left for UK at the age of 20. The world was my oyster and I was going to live life to the full. Being brought up in a Scandinavian society as a woman has a lot of benefits, but expectations of hard work, having a successful career and life are also very high. I wanted a slightly   different road, a road of travel, which included cultural and life experiences. After some years of living and travelling in Europe and South America, after many ups and down on the road, I finally agreed to go back to what the "society" expected from me. I went back to education and reinvigorated myself into politics in UK. For many years my life was nothing but politics and personal drama. In politics I was known as the Fiery Finn, the tough and career minded woman. But after years in politics, inside, things were changing, I was changing, my world was changing, something was still missing. Who was I really?
By now, I had seen the harder side of the world, both through my personal and work experiences: stress, anxiety, expectations, betrayal, divorce, money, power, self hatred and injustices of all kind. I needed closure of some past painful events, I needed a new chapter and finally find that path that was truly meant for me. With the support of great teachers, friends, my children and my husband, I finally started to accept myself, and understand what I wanted from my life, and what it can give me. I needed to fulfil my childhood dreams.
I learnt, the power of self worth, compassion, forgiveness, faith, trust, love, oneness, and living everyday to full, cannot only change you but it can change the world all together.

​ ​ "I am very grateful for what life has thrown at me. I don’t regret any of it, as the lessons I have learnt are so important and they have all contributed one way or another to my love and passion of working with people, nature, charity and holistic therapy. I love Indonesia and South East Asia, so many cultures, teachings, indigenous tribes and so much history. Travelling across Asia and be trained and study with most amazing people; Shamen, Buddhist Monks, Hindu Priests, Holistic Doctors, Reiki Masters, Naturopaths, Animal/Environmental/ Human rights activist and my own students, has given me more than any school or political platform ever could.
