I’m Mirka Kristiina Bruun, The Finnish Happiness Coach and founder of The Journey Studio. As a Certified Transformative Travel Coach, I help people reconnect with themselves through nature, intentional travel, and the Finnish approach to happiness. At 54, I reshaped my life during a 180-day sabbatical across seven countries. I stepped away from leadership, expectations, and performance, and slowly found my way back to myself. That journey became the foundation of Luontopolku – Back to Your Senses®. Luontopolku means "nature trail" in Finnish. Inspired by the quiet wisdom of Finland, the world's happiest country, this gentle, structured method helps you slow down, awaken your senses, reflect, and reconnect with your inner voice through intentional travel and nature. You don’t need to escape your life. You need space to hear yourself again. Today, I guide 1:1 transformative coaching, lead Reflective Walks, and host Finnish Happiness Camps and Slow Travel Retreats in Finland and Spain. Whether you're navigating change, seeking clarity, or simply longing to reconnect with yourself, I walk alongside you before, during, or after your travels, helping you transform movement into meaning and lasting change. If you feel the quiet call for renewal, I’m here to walk with you. Because the journey to Finnish happiness begins within.

Feedback on the Luontopolku method walking session Mirka is the perfect coach. She listens so attentively and with such presence that she always finds just the right aspects to guide toward discoveries. Her gentle way of speaking, her attentiveness, and the genuine care she shows, create a very special safe space for the whole process. With Mirka it feels easy to talk and to open up. She doesn’t steer the direction, but instead walks alongside you — she doesn’t give you a ready-made map, but draws it together with you as the journey unfolds. This experience left me with a truly beautiful memory and several insights that I’ve already started to carry forward, step by step. I can wholeheartedly and warmly recommend Mirka to anyone on the journey towards finding their own voice and new meanings in life. - Katja

Mijn ervaring met Mirka was fantastisch Mirka kwam op me pad op stal waar mijn paarden staan. Ik had angst om op mijn paard het natuur gebied in te gaan. Door fijne gespreken maakte mirka me rustig! Ze luisterde aandachtig gaf me weer vertrouwen en veel tips En zorgde dat ik het weer vrij kon zijn in mijn hoofd zonder angst Zei reed 3 keer op mijn paard en hij flikte bij haar wat die bij mij ook deed door haar aanpak en begeleiding zorgde ze ervoor dat ik weer vertrouwen kreeg in mezelf en mijn paard en weer de ruiter werd die ik voor mijn ongeluk was En weer kon genieten van de mooie natuur en van hoe fijn het is om dit op me paard te doen !!! Nu geniet ik weer van me paard in de natuur en hij zelf ook! Mirka is geweldig voor zowel mens als paard Anne marie
