Helena Mattsson was born and raised in Stockholm, Sweden, where she spent her formative years alongside her two sisters, surrounded by the vibrant culture and stunning landscapes of her native country.
As a young teenager, Helena's life took a dramatic turn when she was discovered by one of Sweden's largest and most prestigious modeling agencies, marking the beginning of her journey in the world of fashion and entertainment.
