about us

leena hakala

Background in psychology (M.A. psychology) , business, leadership and high performance sport have been helpful, but my true teachers are nature and animals (especially horses). The ones with whom I have the deepest levels of connection and communication. 

Soul Medicine focuses on holistic healing and well-being. Being a leadership coach (EASEL®Coach), IFS Level 1 -trained practioner, sensorimotor coach, functional nutritionist and energy healer complement what I consider to be my soul's mission: to help people live and lead from their essential being and (from there) restore our relationship with nature.

Educational background in human communication and sports taught me the basics of leadership. Working alonside several Olympic Champion coaches over the course of a decade made me connect the science with the practical excellence of a true servant leader.

Learning leadership and the pursuit of mastery in one's craft (in my case as a volleyball coach) took me around the world. I served as an assistant and then head coach in eight countries including the United States, Russia, Finland, Sweden, Germany, Switzerland, the Netherlands and Slovenia. Every culture was different, but the principles of success and the nature of human beings were remarkably similar everywhere. Correct principles don't change, they are not here one day and gone the next. With practice we can all become the archetype of a good leader, both demanding but safe, firm but warm - all at the same time.
