Avokadopuu founder
I am a nutritional therapist and M.Sc. biochemist, Sanna Niemelä. I'm also a certified Reiki practitioner. I am trained by Terveysopisto Salus (nutritional therapist) and University of Helsinki (human nutrition, nutritional physiology), and I have graduate degree from the University of Oulu (M.Sc. in biochemistry).
Nutrition and the impact it has on metabolism and overall health have always fascinated me. Through my own health challenges I wanted to dive yet deeper in understanding nutrition and wellbeing. I have a thorough knowledge of human biochemistry, physiology and nutritional physiology through my studies, and I have also learned from my own experiences on e.g. gastrointestinal issues, hormonal imbalances and autoimmune disease and their nutritional support. My passion is to help people improve their wellbeing with dietary choices and to find a way to rebalance their bodies. My greatest inspiration in
my work? I want to help others find what I did - the restorative and healing power of nutrition.
