- MEDICINE
She has the training of a regular nurse and some book knowledge beyond that. But she also has training/certificates in/knowledge of various alternative methods (in order of how likely she is to use them): Naturopathy, Osteopathy, Antrophosopic Medicine, Acupuncture, Homeopathy, and a few other methods that she will only do upon request or if in talking to the patient she finds that they hold a strong belief in said method. Because using her magic is the easier the stronger the sleeper's (non-mage's) belief in the method is.
She also has learned a couple of meditation techniques in her life, and while she isn't certified to teach any of them can still teach some of them. Meditation techniques, especially when performed in a sauna, mean more to her than exercises for the physical well-being, though, as they also are an integral part of her magical practice, helping her to get better in touch with the spirit world.

- COMPUTERS
She's capable at using computers, including some basic programming.

- FIGHTING
She can use a rifle (and take care of it) and has some Krav Maga training. She doesn't strictly have training with daggers, but can handle her knive aptly in a fight.

- LANGUAGES
Over the course of her life, Marja has picked up a lot of languages. She's fluent in Finnish, Northern Saami, Portuguese, English and German, and decently fluent in Russian, Swedish and Spanish. Having a schooled ear, she can fairly easily pick up on the gist of content said in languages related to the aforementioned ones.

- DRIVING
Cars and motorcycles.

- SKIING
Cross country, mostly. It's the only kind of athletics that she's really good in.

- DISTILLING VODKA
How to assemble, use and repair a little black distillery.
