I AM ANNAMARI TYPPÖ, Sananhaltija.

I will help you discover the power of words, your own creativity and the courage to live your dreams.

I gained the tools for my profession by training as a creative writing instructor at Snellman Summer University in Kuopio, Finland, from 2015 to 2016, and as a biblio/poetry therapy facilitator at the University of Helsinki Center for Continuing Education HY+ from 2018 to 2019. At the moment, I'm studying to become a biblio/poetry therapist at the same institution, graduating in December 2024.

I hold a Master of Arts degree from the University of Helsinki, where I majored in Estonian language and culture. Additionally, I have studied journalism at the University of Jyväskylä.
