I’m Maria Nystedt and I have been part of the Raison d’Etre family since 2009, working as a Project Manager, but I have also been involved with the creation of our Spa Business Education. Prior to joining RDE, I was the Spa Manager for the award-winning Six Senses Spa at Soneva Fushi in the Maldives. I have always worked with wellness, beauty and spa and I also have a degree in marketing from IHM business school. I have a Finnish passport, speak Swedish as my native language and have been living with my family in Mallorca, Spain since 2013.

My passion for work:

To be able to create extraordinary experiences and moments that matter is what makes my work so special. I love the creative freedom that I have and can use in concept and brand development. I love to create things that no one else has done before or just turn things upside down and ask, “what if we do it this way?”

My Raison d’Etre:

Good things in life like food and traveling. I love to travel with my family and see my kids explore and experience the diversity of different cultures, people, nature and food. Horses and hiking is what makes my heart sing when I’m not traveling.
