Orshi Harkai

Performance & Wellness Coach

Hi, I'm Orshi.

I’m a dynamic, adaptive, internationally certified fitness professional with 10+ years of experience coaching movement and recovery at a native level of English.

My full name is Orsolya but everyone calls me Orshi. Originally from the heart of Central Europe, from beautiful Hungary, but I’ve lived in Helsinki since 2013.

As my roots are in a distinct and rich culture featuring over 1300 thermal baths, iconic cuisine, and top-notch hospitality—quality is important for me.

Year 2026 is a turning point in my career, leaving the corporate world behind and starting off as a full-time entrepreneur, offering premium wellness coaching services.

In the past 10+ years I worked in various marketing and communications roles at global, high-performance technology companies such as Smartly, Polar Electro, and Haiilo.

I hold a Master’s degree in Business Administration, a Bachelor’s degree in Hospitality Management, and a certificate for Employer Brand Leadership.

Alongside my full-time job, my fitness side hustle became a real passion project. Since 2016, I’ve worked at the Nordic region’s leading fitness centers like Elixia and Fitness24Seven.

 

I’m a certified personal trainer, advanced yoga teacher, and group fitness instructor. I’ve led a wide range of sessions including strength, functional, HIIT, mobility, flexibility, mindfulness, meditation, yoga, and Reformer Pilates.

My versatile skillet puts me on the spectrum of general health coaching—building strength, focus, and calm. I help high-performers and busy professionals achieve sustainable health for peak performance.

Learning yoga in Bali and India from a true master, Simon Borg-Olivier, made me realize traditional yoga is not designed for the modern body. Hence my approach is based on physiotherapy, and active movement.

As a professional, I’m known for creating a positive, energizing atmosphere, focusing on and motivated by results, being assertive, engaging, and self-driven. See my LinkedIn recommendations here.

If you’re committed to making changes in your health, lifestyle, and mindset—I’ll be a good match for you. Train with me at Performance Unit in Helsinki.
