She is powerful in smiling and she has a powerful active upbringing in sports and academic. Sandra Suomela, is an amateur boxer with a record of 3 wins over 3 fights (previously, other 3 wins over 3 fights as a white collar) and she won the Haringey Box Cup in 2023.

Originally from Finland, 29 year old, with a MSc in Applied Positive Psychology & Coaching Psychology  at the University of East London, Sandra works in London as a Holistic Life & Performance Coach, creating a non-judgemental space for people to reflect on something (yet) undiscovered, in order to move towards what they value in their life. Whether it is letting go of past-derived obstacles, changing your career, discovering your worth, increasing confidence, achieving goals, forming a healthy self-image, or creating a better relationship with yourself, Sandra’s way of coaching starting from a positive psychology approach adapts to her client's needs. 

 What is then her understanding of fear for her as both a Coaching Psychologist and as an amateur boxer? Does she live it differently than anxiety? And how does Sandra cope with both?
