Toimivax Ltd.

Heli Ojamaa found her own entrepreneurship when she was a little child: She picked up the flowers from her mother’s flowerbed and sold them in the graveyard. She grew up in a little village. In the school the children learned things in little groups, by working and actually doing things. These children grew to be social and curious individuals, and Heli learned, that we all have different kind of skills and talents. She studied and worked as an occupational therapist. In 2009 she started the Occupational practice Toimivax Ltd. She thought it would be a flexible choice for the single parent of three children. Well, it wasn’t. But it was worth it.
