Mariell was born and raised in Sweden. After high-school she moved to the US to study at the University. In 1997, she attended her first yoga class. The experience would guide her life in the direction of service and healing.
Mariell began teaching yoga in 2005. She has a beautiful yoga community in Gothenburg, Sweden, where she returns to after spending the winters in Costa Rica.
When her little sister passed away in 2016, the course of her life changed. Reevaluating her life choices, she began to prioritize what’s really important in life. It became very clear to her that she needed to live closer to nature and spend more time in warmer climates for her soul to be fulfilled. For the past nine years, she has been sharing her time between Gothenburg and Costa Rica.
Mariell is an internationally certified yoga teacher, trained in the US and certified by the Yoga Alliance. She has a strong desire to keep learning and deepening her knowledge about self-healing and spiritually, which has inspired her to study with some of the most influential yoga teachers in the World, such as Shiva Rea, Sara Powers and Max Strom.
As an evolution of her passion for yoga, she began to feel the need to learn how to heal people with her hands. In Landskrona, Sweden she met Tomas von Walden and he taught her the ancient form of massage therapy called Tui Na. In 2022, she received her degree as a certified Massage Therapist in Chinese Medicine. She also holds a certificate as a Past life Regression Therapist from the Ravenheart Center, Colorado.
Mariell graduated from San Francisco State University in 2000 with a B.A degree in Graphic Design. She has been combining her creativity expressed through graphic design with her passion for healing and yoga.
