Ada's story
Hello, I’m Ada.
I was born and raised in Finland in the 1960s.
Life has taken me across countries and cultures through both - work and relationships.
I love the pure and powerful nature of my homeland and the grounded way of life it offers.
I value simplicity – the quiet strength of everyday life, and the honesty and resilience I grew up with.
My professional path began in senior leadership roles within largeorganizations. Over time, I found myself increasingly uncomfortable with the pressure-driven culture that often defined corporate leadership — a style thatemphasized control, performance targets, and constant demand, sometimes at the expense of people, meaning, and genuine connection.
Although I was part of that system, I always felt that organizations could be led in a wiser and more human way. This realization eventually led me to take a different path. I founded my own company with the intention of creating a more human-centered approach to leadership and organizational culture. The company grew into a successful venture, and for nearly fifteen yearswe worked with organizations to develop leadership programs and supportmeaningful cultural change.
At the same time, my own inner journey continued to deepen.
I have always been a passionate student. Along the way I immersed myself in areas suchas embodiment and emotional release, attachment styles, the Enneagram, NLP, and Gestalt therapy.
Yet my greatest teacher has always been life itself.
Over time I also began to feel a growing desire to step away from theresponsibility of leading organizations and teams. I wanted something simpler and more direct: to be responsible only for myself, deepen my therapeutic work and experience greater freedom in how I live and work.
Life’s turning points have shaped me profoundly.
Through personal and professional experience I have deepened my understanding of addictions and worked with different forms of it – including substance dependency, sexual compulsivity and work addiction.
These experiences taught me humility, compassion, and the limits of control.
It was there that I learned something essential: love is trusting even when it feels like there is nothing left totrust.
In the spring of 2019, life stopped me in a very direct way.
I became seriously ill.
When I allowed myself to examine why I had fallen ill, Irealized I was not living a life fully aligned with who I was.
The fear of death released immense energy. The wisdom was already in me.
I left my work, focused on healing, moved to a new place, and ended my relationship.
I let go of things often considered the pillars of life – status, security and structure.
When life forced me to stop, my ability to hear my inner voice became stronger than ever.
I experienced moments of deep alignment between mind, body, and spirit.
Tantra had already entered my life before that, but after my separationI immersed myself more deeply in it.
Modern tantra became the most profoundpath of self-awareness I have found. For me, tantra is about listening to the body and allowing and respecting whatever is alive.
Growth does not happen through force, but through permission.
It has taught me presence, embodiedwisdom, and connection without masks.
For me, tantra is also a field where boundaries and vulnerability are deeply respected. It works with life force, and therefore also with sexuality.
At the beginning of 2024, I told a few close friends that something significant was about to change.
I had a strong feeling that I would be living outside Finland in the coming years. After long consideration,
I traveled to Tuscany for a tantra training.
There something unexpected happened.
I met a man whose energy met mine in a way that left no return.
My intuition said yes, even when many rational reasons suggested caution.
I began the deepest, most transformative and honest relationship of mylife with a man whose cultural background is very different from my own.
Through our individual inner work, we had both developed the capacity to meetbeyond culture – without masks, despite our differences.
Our life experiences, our shared commitment to growth, and our willingness to be truthful and vulnerable with one another form the foundationof our relationship and of SHEVET, which we are now building together.
Here, you are welcome exactly as you are.
There is no role to perform and nothing to prove.
You are invited to arrive in your own way, at your own pace.
Welcome.
