We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Carina Goransson a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.

Carina , looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. How did you come up with the idea for your business?

I was working as a nurse in Sweden . I worked with healthcare and helped people with stress and their health. One morning at the doctors office I felt like a hammer hit my head . I was so tired so I walked into my doctors office and asked to go home . This wasn’t me , the waiting room was full of clients and I should never leave my doctor to take care of everything by himself . I thought just a couple of days then I am fine again but I never came back again .
I didn’t realized that I was burned out until
I went to a doctor and he told me . He told me you can’t work more this year your body must heal .
After 6 months I started to study both for my rehabilitation and to help other with the same problem. After 1 year I had become a health therapist, stress therapist and massage therapist . After another 6 months a was a spa therapist, healer and mindfulness therapist.
2006 I started my company CarinaKliniken. Since then I have helped many people both with my massages and talked with them
About stress and my own experience.
2017 I took CarinaKliniken to Los Angeles.
Here I am today working with my company .

Carina , before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?

My name is carina Goransson Born in a small Swedish town called Malmö.
I have always been a person who have taken care of everyone else . I took care of my mum when she got cancer only 50 years old . I was only 18 year when she passed away . I took care of my 3 children as a stay at home mum until the could take care of themselves. We lived on a farm in Sweden with my husband .
I took care of my dad when he got a stroke and he stayed at my home with me and my son . I worked as a nurse so this was natural for me . So all my life I have taken care of people both family and patients.

What do you think helped you build your reputation within your market?

I am who I am caring . All my clients are special for me . I give everyone their time both before and after their massage . I Give them Swedish chocolate and cookies give all my clients Christmas gifts . Ask how they are doing and their families. I want to show them that a really care about them and want to help them . My office is full
Of candles and soft music everything to make them relax . I have my company in my house so it’s feel homey.

Can you open up about a time when you had a really close call with the business?

It was very hard for me during the pandemic had to close for 18 months. I had just started to get a lot of clients and worked 6 days a week . After the pandemic was to start over again . Then I was in a greencard process and then I was not allowed to work until I got my work permit. After that start over again so it has been a struggling economic but I
Love my work and my clients so i don’t give up .
