Connected You Community
Self-connection is the transformation.
We create heart-led coaching and mentoring experiences where we guide you to back to what matters: back home to yourself.
We bring people together through circles, walk-and-talk clubs, creative clubs, soul-nourishing events and retreats, creating transformative spaces that are accessible, joyful, and full of heart.
At Connected You, we believe in the power of self-connection to transform everything.
We believe that meaningful connection starts within. That deeper relationships, clarity, and courage come when you pause and meet yourself honestly — with compassion, curiosity, and care.
Founded by Essi Auguste Virtanen, a coach and former journalist who knows the power of story, Connected You began as a lifeline during lockdown — a place for people to feel seen, heard, and held. Essi’s work blends the art of storytelling with evidence-based coaching to create spaces that are real, restorative, and deeply human.
We believe belonging is our birthright. And when we wear our hearts on our sleeves, we create a world where meaningful connection is easier to find — and self-connection becomes a daily practice that changes everything.
OUR VALUES
Connection is our everything.
Curiosity is our love language.
Courage is how we move through the world.
Belonging is our birthright.
Our Mission
We strive to make community and support accessible to all, ensuring our events are affordable. No one should be denied connection due to financial constraints.
In a world that is filled with separation and juxtaposition, people feel more disconnected than ever. We believe in creating confidential, safe, inclusive spaces to connect both virtually and in person to counteract against this disconnection we see through high statistics of depression, loneliness, and suicide.
