About Saara

Saara discovered Spinwinking in 2023 and quickly noticed that gaming works best when the mind is calm. Since then, she has woven mindfulness techniques and her connection to Finnish nature into her everyday gaming strategy.

She has tested hundreds of Spinwinking games over more than 6,000 hours – often on the cabin terrace, after a sauna, or by the lake. These experiences shaped her most popular articles on cabin gaming and meditation techniques.

Saara believes responsible gambling and a great gaming experience go hand in hand. She teaches Finnish players to recognize their own limits and enjoy the games without stress.

In her free time, Saara spends time at her cabin on the shores of Lake Saimaa, where she tests new games and develops her next relaxation techniques for Spinwinking players.

Saara began her journey at Spinwinking by looking for a way to combine her own mindfulness practice with her passion for games. She quickly noticed that many Finnish players craved exactly the same thing – a way to enjoy the excitement without the stress.

Today, Saara regularly trains other players in breathing techniques and emotional regulation, and her articles are among Spinwinking's most-read – especially in summer, when cabin season is at its peak.
