I’m a self-taught intuitive painter, as well as writer.
Here are a few highlights of my personal profile:
- An articulate, driven and inspiring content creator with a great passion for human development.
- A resilient and compassionate volunteer worker at Mieli (Finnish Association for Mental Health).
- Theoretical and practical experience in Crisis & Developmental Psychology.
I love writing. Writing is my home. Whenever I feel sad, in love, anxious, eager to inspire or excited; I return home. Please, prepare yourself – being with me involves writing. At the moment I’m very fascinated by the concept of slow living and all the health benefits that are associated with a slower, kinder, way of living.
A Guide To Slow And Simple Living
Another thing I am deeply passionate about is humans. We are wonderful creatures, aren’t we? Complex, yet rather adorable. If we only knew how magnificent we actually are, imagine all that we could accomplish! I once got a self-made painting from a young, happy customer whose day I had made. There is no monthly pay check in the world that is comparable to a gift of kindness.
Excellent people skills they say. Perhaps you will become aware, that there is truth in that statement; all the years in customer service, as well as working within communications, building long-term relationships with influencers, have thought me enormously. Humans want to be seen. Want to be heard. We want to be encouraged, amused and valued. We need someone to believe in us, especially those days when we are too scared to believe in ourselves.
With me, you will become to realise the importance of education. When we face challenges and stumble upon subjects we do not yet master we do the research – we gather information and we evolve. Together we value heart-warming gestures and purpose driven actions.
What is more, together we practice kindness, diplomacy and creativity.
Therefore, dear future client/co-creator/collaborator, when you are ready for a profitable and successful relationship do not hesitate to contact me.
Yours sincerely,
Linda Maria Vestman
