Why I Do What I Do
Reinventing the wheel has its charm, but there are more effective ways to move forward in life.
I speak from lived experience.
I relate to financial hardship. To emotional imbalance. To mental struggle. To relational discord and disconnection. To being a misfit. To grief and loss, trauma, lack and uncertainty, starting over, and searching for belonging.
My journey has passed through many of life's storms. And through all of it, I've arrived at the same understanding:
The love, abundance, strength, and wisdom we search for outside… already exists within us.
My Mission
I don't want to teach people how to live. I want to create space for reflection, awareness, and real understanding.
Because awareness changes everything — how we think, how we feel, how we communicate, and how we choose. Transformation takes time, but if we truly want to, every one of us can change.
Through conversations, listening, events, community-building, and one-to-one sessions, I act as a facilitator — helping people reconnect with themselves and discover clarity in whatever stage of life they are in. My work is about creating the right conditions for growth: the right questions, the right conversations, the right environment, and the right people.
What I Create
- Podcast (Heart Talks & Unbecoming with Sanya) — conversations with experts, thought leaders, and seekers exploring consciousness, well-being, healing, and modern life. Each episode is a space for reflection, inspiration, and awakening.
- Shop — curated offerings for inner and outer well-being, chosen with the same intention that guides everything here.
- Events & Collaborations — health & lifestyle events, workshops, gatherings, and shared experiences designed to bring the right people together at the right time.
Education & Academic Background
I was never content with a single discipline. My education spans both the analytical and the embodied — because real understanding lives at the intersection of both.
- Master's in Science & Business Economics — Universities of Borås and Gothenburg, Sweden
- MBA in Marketing & Management
- Bachelor's Degree in English Literature (Honours)
Alongside my academic foundation, I have continuously expanded my knowledge through holistic and creative disciplines:
- Bachelor's Degree in Music
- Breathwork Practitioner — Mahayog Kriya
- Yoga Practitioner — Siddhasana Level 1
- Certified Laughter Coach
- EFT / Tapping Coach
This combination of academic insight and embodied practice has shaped my approach — grounded, multidimensional, and human.
Professional Experience
My career didn't follow a straight line — and I'm glad it didn't. Each chapter has deepened my understanding of people, systems, and what it means to build something meaningful.
- Health and lifestyle exhibitions — founder of Hälsa & Livsstilsmässan (2001–2019), over 17 years running conscious living events across Sweden
- Education within the Swedish school system — teaching English, Natural Science, and Mathematics
- Media, facilitation, and communication
- Textiles and clothing industry
- Corporate sales and retail
I was co-founder of Toastmaster club Borås, along with other members from Toastmaster international, and I acted as President for two years consecutively — an experience that sharpened my foundation in leadership, public speaking, and the craft of communication.
Who I Am
I am a lifelong learner and seeker of uncommon knowledge — drawn to both intellectual rigour and intuitive insight. I am deeply interested in spirituality, life philosophy, emotional intelligence, consciousness, and human evolution. This includes the questions emerging at the frontier of human experience — how we find meaning in a world increasingly shaped by technology, and what it means to remain fully human within it.
In my free time, I love meditation, music and ragas, and long walks in nature. My moral compass is rooted in integrity, justice, compassion, and kindness — values that guide both my personal and professional life.
This space is for those who feel ready to reflect, to grow, to heal, to evolve — and to remember who they truly are.
Welcome to my world, and join the global community.
