About Marja

She lived this before she guided it.

Marja is not a specialist, and that is exactly what sets her apart. She learned to read the whole picture the hard way, on her own body, when no one else was willing to connect the dots for her. What she offers you now is that same read, paired with genuinely listening to your story.

Where it started

Years of no one looking at the whole picture

Back to Balance began with Marja's own body breaking down. For years no one was willing to look at everything together, so every specialist she saw treated one symptom at a time and every answer she got was generic. She started piecing it together herself instead, through trial and error, testing what actually worked rather than what she was told should work.

That long search left her open-minded rather than dogmatic. She draws from Western medicine and from alternative approaches without loyalty to either, because she learned firsthand that no single tradition holds the whole answer.

The turning point

The day it became personal

Five years ago Marja lost her father suddenly to cardiovascular disease. Watching her mother's health decline in the years since, through fibromyalgia, autoimmune symptoms, high blood pressure and high cholesterol, she refused to lose her the same way. So she invested in CE-certified medical measurement equipment and trained as a Certified Wega Med Practitioner and a Certified WildFit Coach, determined to find what her mother's body actually needed.

In under six months the results exceeded every expectation. Her mother reached full remission from fibromyalgia and long-standing psoriasis, normalized her blood pressure and cholesterol, began weaning off opiates, took up a new gym habit and ended a 45-year daily nap. She became, quite literally, a new person.

Back to Balance is complementary and supportive to regular medical care. It does not provide diagnoses, does not treat or cure disease, and is not a replacement for the care of your doctor.
