About me

Hello and welcome! My name is Tuuli Vahtra. I am a Completion Process practitioner, a counselor, and a coach from Tallinn, Estonia. I wish to support and guide people on their path to more awareness, self-love and a fulfilling life. I believe that answers to important questions so often lie within ourselves, and we have the ultimate power to transform our lives. However, sometimes we need encouragement, support and guidance for taking the first step, or getting help when stuck – and this is where I offer you my counseling. I am happy to introduce you some highly-effective methods which have brought great results for those in need. Inspiring feedback from my clients describes how they have healed past wounds, regained strength and found new callings in life.

My journey

Like many of us, I have encountered challenges in my life. I have been in unhealthy relationships and felt depression. There were times when dissatisfaction with myself and my office job was a part of my everyday life. During a difficult period, it is not easy to see a way out. Luckily, experience shows there is always a way out. I wish to help and inspire others to see the hope again. I believe that every problem has a root cause such as unresolved past trauma, a limiting belief, internal conflict, etc. Finding and addressing these root causes can help you to feel lighter and achieve a better state of mind.

This self-discovery and awareness path has helped me to transform my life immensely. I have created new supportive and inspirational friendships; I have made a beautiful home and turned my interest in psychology and spirituality into an exciting career. I take better care of my needs and I am better at expressing my boundaries. My perspective has changed a lot. I approach myself and the world around me with much more understanding and compassion.

Theory and practice

I was trained by Teal Swan and her team in Utah, USA to become a Certified Completion Process Practitioner. I am also a certified counselor (Development Center Avitus) and certified solution-focused coach (Erickson College International). I finished first level of family therapy studies (Kiira Järve Family Therapy Training Center). Under Teal Swan’s guidance and through my own extensive research, I have studied Parts Work in depth.

My training includes a number of courses related to the field. For example, Mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR), body psychotherapy, grief counseling, suicide prevention, a course on Dragon Dreaming (living systems approach to building successful organizations and projects), a course on leadership and community co-creating “Rising together”, and many courses on various meditation techniques. I have also passed a course on sexual healing by Dr. Laura Berman and Teal Swan.

My work experience includes over 1500 hours of sessions with people from more than 15 countries. Most of my new clients arrive through recommendations.

Background

From early childhood, my life has been greatly influenced by the game of chess. I started to play right away after trying it out at the age of 8. Since then I have won numerous Estonian Championships and represented my country in international competitions. Chess has helped me a lot with strategical and logical thinking, with handling stressful situations and with a sharp focus. It gave me an opportunity to travel and to meet many smart and memorable people from different countries.

I hold a BA in business administration from Tallinn University of Technology, and I worked as a digital marketer for many years. My background helps me to better relate to challenges from both, the corporate and the competitive sports worlds. So, in addition to regular therapy, I also like supporting professionals with resolving subconscious blocks and with gaining clarity to faster reach their goals.

Some memorable moments from my life:

Mindfulness training with Leena Pennanen

My values

I believe that great relationships are the foundation for a happy life – the relationships with my loved ones, friends, acquaintances, community and with myself. Therefore I continuously study the dynamics of relationships and enjoy in-depth conversations about the topic. I value open and authentic communication and I am very grateful for positive growth in my relationships.

In free time, I like spending time in nature. I enjoy walking, and like taking photos of beautiful landscapes and tiny flowers. I also love cooking, home decoration and a bit of balcony gardening.

I spend quite a lot of time expanding my knowledge in psychology topics. I help to organize group meditation events regularly. When possible, I travel to attend international workshops and for visiting my friends who live abroad.
