Krisztina G. Agueda is the the founder of Fjölskylduland.
She is a movement therapist who specializes in child motor development. She has been running Hreyfiland – a popular family gym in the capital area – for more than two decades. Hreyfiland offers developmental classes for babies and children from 3 months up to 6 years, as well as targeted therapy for developmentally challenged children.
Hreyfiland gym will continue its operations in Fjölskylduland. It will offer play-based developmental supporting classes for typically developing kids, as well as provide targeted individual therapy for kids who are experiencing developmental delays or who are struggling with unusual behaviors. Additionally, a comprehensive examination of the sensorimotor and cognitive development of children will also be available on request.
The founders of Þorpið Tengslasetur (The Village: Community of connection) and the co-creators community are firm believers in the philosophy “it takes a village to raise a child” and the company was created as a response to a highly stressful environment in our society because of its impact on our children and their families.
Þorpið is a platform that supports secure attachment for families through various events, courses, and individual services that are also online. The services provided in Fjölskylduland will be very diverse but will always involve connection, playfulness, and exploration through many fun topics such as movement, creativity, sensory play, practical tools for engagement of children in daily life, reflection, balance in daily life, and self-development.

My name is Léna and I have lived in Hungry, Holland and now Iceland. I have been learning and practicing Thai Yoga Massage since 2017 with the ITM School for Thai Yoga Massage in Amsterdam ( Holland ) and Chiang Mai ( Thailand). After having spent an apprenticeship in Northern Thailand a couple of years back, in 2020 I became a certified Thai Yoga Massage teacher.
