Who Am I

Hi Its me again.....

My name is Sinikka, and I’m so happy you’ve found Wander and Rest Life. I’m 39 years old, a wife, and a mom to two amazing boys. I live in London, UK, and for over 10 years, I’ve been living with chronic pain. Just a year ago, I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia. There are days when it feels like I’m trapped in a body that isn’t really mine, and it’s been an ongoing challenge. But despite all of this, I’ve made a choice not to let it define me. The pain may still be there, and I’m not claiming to be healed, but I’ve learned how to keep moving forward, even on the hard days.

Life is even more complicated with a 4-year-old son who has autism and an 11-year-old who sees his mom in pain every day. But with the unwavering support of my family and my journal to express my feelings, I’m managing. This blog is my personal space to share my experiences, struggles, and what’s helped me along the way—and I want to connect with others who understand this journey.

What is Wander and Rest Life All About?

I know how overwhelming it can be to manage your condition while trying to keep up with family life, and my mission is to offer practical tips, encouragement, and resources that help you find comfort, joy, and resilience.

Here’s what you can expect on this site:
