About Me

Painted Portrait of Änki

Hi! I'm Änki, a psychologist with a passion for evidence-based mental health and the healing power of the sea. I created Mind Meets Sea to share insights that are grounded in science but inspired by my love for surfing, coastal rowing, mindful cooking, and movement. I’m based in Edinburgh, Scotland, and everything I publish here is backed by good peer-reviewed journal research, trauma-informed, and hopeful.

Whether you’re here to learn something new, take a mental health break, or get inspired to ride the waves of life more calmly, welcome!
