Who is Merja Kallunki
Merja comes from Lapland, where she grew up in Salla surrounded by nature. Her focus is on the physical body, emotions, and trauma — believing that unrecognized pain stays in the body, blocking the flow of energy. Personal experiences have shaped her, teaching her about love, breath, and the embodiment of life. Her passion now is releasing the past and bringing light to difficult experiences.
The conscious mind forgets, but the body remembers everything. I have gone through so many themes of humanity in myself and my body that there is no longer a theme of humanity I would not dare to face alongside another person.
