Hi, nice to meet you!
I'm Kreetta Ryödi and my mission is to elevate women’s wellbeing. Pain and discomfort should not be normalised at any stage of female (life) cycle, also not in menopause.
Hormonal changes have a significant impact on how women feel. The statistics on women's health related diseases are concerning, impacting so many women's everyday lives. Treatment methods, if diagnosed, are generally invasive or using synthetic hormones, causing side effects. That’s where I come in.
I support and educate women on how to restore and maintain hormonal balance, for more ease and joy.

My Journey
​
After a long career in IT, I pursued a new path focused on empowering women to achieve optimal physical and mental well-being. Starting with myself.
Trigger for change was a burn-out after having ignored the signs my body had been sending for years, being completely out of tune with my inner Self. My menstrual cycle was irregular, my pelvic floor out of whack after pregnancies, and I experienced constant digestive issues. My complaints had been going on for so long, that I took them for "normal". And then one of my best friends died of breast cancer at 39, leaving behind two small children. It shook my world. I could no longer ignore my own state of health.
​
My journey began with Ayurveda, an Eastern medical science emphasising preventive care. This wisdom has profoundly helped me live more in tune with my internal and external environment, teaching me how to adjust the foods I take in, my lifestyle and how I manage stress, according to how I feel. As a result I ovulate, my periods are regular, my digestive complaints are gone and I feel grounded. Pelvic floor still work in progress...
​
I'm further enriching my expertise with specialised certification in women's hormone health, in addition to Western medicine certification on the human anatomy, pathology and psychology.
By integrating Eastern and Western medicine, I get the best of both worlds, supporting each person in their unique health journey.
​
I love to teach and share my knowledge with as many women, and organisations, as possible.
​
I am Finnish, living in the Netherlands, with my husband and two teenage children. My preferred language is English, but Dutch and Finnish are fine too.
"I believe that as we cultivate greater awareness
to our internal and external environment,
we become more conscious of the choices we make and
their impact on our wellbeing."
This is me on paper. WIP.
