The story of Enicare Oy
Enicare
Oy (under the name Luontoisa in 2019) is a micro-company established
in 2011 for which I, Erja, mainly work. I am a qualified nature and
wilderness guide, as well as a registered nurse. After working as a
nurse for a long time, I grew day-by-day more assured of the idea of
working outdoors in the nature. I ended up resigning from my
permanent position at the hospital in 2011, became a freelance nurse,
and established a health and wellness company. In the end, the
company’s activities focused on natural well-being, e.g. through the
organization of work capacity promotion days. In 2014, I wanted to
strengthen my nature skills and applied for nature and wilderness
guide studies at Eerikkilä Sports Institute. After completing my
nature and wilderness guide qualification in 2015, I began to focus
more on the company.
Depending
on the situation, my husband Pasi also works hard for the company.
He also has long experience in both entrepreneurship and hiking. Pasi
has once taught me how to kayak and we have had great excursions with
him, both kayaking and now for the past ten years also sailing. Our
family also includes two adult sons whose lives, due to their parents
and grandparents, are closely intertwined with wilderness and nature.
Both have spent time in the nature and on the waters with their
grandparents and us since they were little boys. Both have been
hard-working scouts, and both scouting and hiking in general are
still strongly involved in their adult lives.
When
I established my company in 2011, my idea was to familiarize our
customers specifically to the local nature, and to emphasize the
notion that you do not always have to go further than the sea for
fish. We have great tourist and hiking landscapes here in Janakkala,
Häme, and in Finland in general! Local tourism has become a literate
boom with climate change being a serious topic.
How
can I help you, your family, or your work community to find
relaxation, peace and well-being in the nature? I organize themed
hiking, snowshoeing and canoeing trips, as well as natural, woodland
adventures and meditation moments in the nature with different
durations. Let’s come up with a trip that suits you and your group
together! Contact us!
