I founded my company in 2008.

Bemotion means a movement (Be motion) that we feel and also a feeling that we feel in our body (Be emotion). 

​

 Before starting my company I competed in fitness sports for 11 years, also achieving success.

I have two Finnish championships and a victory in the Kike Elomaa Fitness Classic. I represented Finland several times abroad  in European  and in World championships. I also competed as the first Finnish contestant in  Arnold Schwarzenegger's Ms. Fitness World invitational competition in the USA.

 At the same time I worked as a personal trainer at Gym1 Fitness Center in Lahti meeting a lot of different people. 

​

I noticed both in my sports career and when working with people that success is not only about hard work. Our minds, both conscious and subconscious have a significant impact on our performance. A number of factors are required for peak performance.

​

 I also trained as an instructor of various group exercise classes, of which dance, pilates and yoga eventually became my favourites.

 

Later, after training as an NLP trainer and a relaxation and a hypnosis instructor, I also started guiding mindfulness, for which I received my training at at Fressi Fitness Center.

​

 My passionate interest in the workings of the brain and the human mind was like the last turn of a closing circle for me. The activity of the brain affects both the body and the mind, but this also works the other way around. Body (body condition) and mind (thinking) affect the functioning of our brain. The activity of our brain in the creation of emotions finally made me also understand why people act the way they do and that even  there is always a positive purpose hidden under even the behavior that seems completely absurd. Man strives to survive in life.

​

When we understand that it is a survival strategy, it is clear that traditional methods do not work when it comes to pursuing different things, work efficiency, well-being and especially health. 

​​

I myself still teach pilates, yoga and mindfulness, remotely and face-to-face.

I also provide personal trainer services and mental coaching and I also give lectures  (lecturesriittakoukkari)

​

At the moment, I also have a new profession in my life. It's photography. I could perhaps say that first I familiarized myself with the body, then with the mind, and with photography I dive into the soul.

I photograph people. There is something beautiful in every person and I want to bring it out. And always looking for something new I have learned how to make pictures with an artificial intelligence as well.  All kinds of information technology have always fascinated me. I always make my websites by myself, and I'm not afraid to take any task on the marketing side as well. Some platforms are familiar and I use them all the time.
