Hi, I'm Sanna.
I'm originally from Finland and began my career in mental health and social care as a practical nurse before moving into Oriental Medicine and acupuncture.
Over the last 25 years, I've lived and worked across three continents, supported hundreds of people through change, and spent much of my life exploring what helps people thrive under pressure.
I've built businesses, raised a family, crossed the Southern Atlantic Ocean from Cape Town to the Caribbean by sailboat, and recreated my life and self more than once. Through all of it, one thing has become clear:
Most people don't need more information, ideas, thinking and talking about "it".
They need the ability to trust and stay connected to themselves when life gets challenging.
Today, I live in the North West of Ireland and work with entrepreneurs, business owners and ambitious professionals who look like they have it together on the outside but privately feel exhausted, overwhelmed or disconnected from themselves. They've often read the books, listened to the podcasts and tried various approaches to personal growth. Yet they still find themselves stuck in the same patterns:
They struggle to switch off. Their minds never stop. Decisions feel heavier than they should.
And the people they love often get what's left of them.
Life should feel better than it does.
My work helps people understand what is driving those patterns, build resilience in their nervous system and develop a different relationship with themselves. Not so they can escape life, but so they can meet life with more energy, clarity, confidence and self-trust.
Everything I do is guided by the GROW™ Framework:
Grounded. Ready. Open. Willing.
A practical approach to helping people recover energy, navigate change and step into the next chapter of life with greater capacity and confidence.
About Sanna
WHAT PEOPLE
ARE SAYING
I suffer from chronic neck & back pain, TMJ and depression and have done both the 9D breath work with Trauma Release (TRE) sessions with Sanna. Both the Somatic Breath work and TRE have helped me physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.
The 9D breath work is an absolutely amazing experience. The breath work combined with the audio frequencies and Sannas coaching encourages the mind to let go, allowing your body to release tension and for you to experience deeper states of consciousness and connection with your true blissful self.
TRE is something everyone should do regularly. With our modern lifestyles we store so much tension and unprocessed emotions in our bodies.
Sanna is an amazing healer, coach, and person. I am so grateful to her and the amazing work she is doing. I highly recommend getting
in touch with her and to experience these healing modalities for yourself.

I have long struggled with guilt, it started at a young age and built continually until now. The guilt I think, was tied to shame, a feeling like I need to validate my existence. I always felt that I need to sacrifice myself for those I care about and work hard to make sure that they are ok.
I was becoming drained because I kept prioritizing others when I didn’t have the time or energy. I wasn’t able to rest.
One major transformation I noticed since working together is that my mind quiets more easily. I am more confident that my actions toward self care are not selfish but necessary and I am more sure about the decisions I make that are in my best interest. I can recognize when doubt is rooted in guilt and shame and don’t fear rejection by others for my truth. because of it.

All my adult life i have had a deep yearning, seeking a more authentic way of being in all aspects of my life. Now, with Sanna, guiding and enabling me in my own UNFOLDING, she facilitates my integration of the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. Her way of imparting her wisdom, skills and her understanding of the human condition is so simple, safe and is deeply satisfying the need I have had for many, many years. “When the pupil is ready, the teacher will come”. Sanna is a true ‘LIFE’ coach. Joan.

Sanna Atherton has been a steady and vital part of my personal growth journey for almost 20 years. As a Somatic Life Coach myself, I know that talking a problem round and round does not solve anything. Sanna has decades of experience and an innate wisdom of the human body, and how to facilitate healing at the highest level. Her professionalism has allowed me to discover parts of myself that I otherwise would not have been able to access. Whether through her TRE bodywork or 9D breathwork I always walk away feeling like I know myself a little better. If you feel like you're ready to step into your next level self wisdom I highly recommend booking a session with Sanna either online or in person.
