About
The Flourished You Approach
The motivation, aim and ethical responsibility of Flourished You.
We have this life and this life only. So what is the optimal way to spend this precious time? The answer to this question is different for everyone and Flourished You strives to support in finding and pursuing it.
Most people want to be well. But what does that mean? Wellbeing is a complex phenomenon that depends on a subjective satisfaction balance of different elements for each individual. Flourished You assists with clarity and enhancement regarding those elements, so that life can be lived to the fullest.
In the quest for the great life, the latest scientific knowledge is integrated with wisdom and practices that have been developed over decades in various disciplines concerned with wellbeing on this earth. This allows a truly holistic perspective on the great life.
The pursuit of the great life is a privilege that billions of people are not fortunate enough to enjoy as they struggle for daily survival. We therefore consider it our ethical responsibility to contribute to equality in security and wellbeing on earth.
About
Welcome,
My name is Saskia Fehr.
My passion is the good life from a holistic perspective that unites body, mind and the external world. With Flourished You, I strive to promote wellbeing and flourishing by applying Positive Psychology to life.
As a lecturer, researcher, practitioner and student, I engage with the Western science of wellbeing, Positive Psychology and the traditional teachings and practices of various cultures to get to the bottom of the question:
What is a good life & how can we live it?
As a coach and trainer, I integrate these two areas to support my clients holistically.
I warmly welcome you and am looking forward to getting in touch to bring more wellbeing, fulfilment and flourishing into the world of work and private life.

FAQs
The speciality of Flourished You is the application of Positive Psychology in coaching and training approaches. Through the integration of Coaching Psychology and Positive Psychology, the approach can be adapted ideally to individual needs and combine the best of both worlds. Flourished You gladly provides guidance through certain topics of Positive Psychology and supports with interventions and background knowledge to facilitate high wellbeing, optimal functioning and flourishing.
Positive Psychology is an exciting new field of study that explores the science of happiness, wellbeing, and human flourishing. It focuses on the positive aspects of life such as love, hope, optimism, strengths, resilience and other resources.
Positive Psychology is a relatively new field of psychology, but it is quickly gaining traction as a way to improve mental health and overall wellbeing. By focusing on the idea that individuals are capable of achieving a greater sense of wellbeing and happiness by actively engaging in activities that bring fulfilment, joy and other positive emotions. It is a proactive approach to mental health that focuses on the strengths and potential of individuals that seeks to cultivate the positive aspects of life and to help individuals to achieve their highest potential.
In pure coaching, the coach does not share advice on specific topics but rather guides the coachee via coaching techniques to find personal answers. However, specific psychological information and advice can certainly be provided in the session if requested.
In training, on the other hand, the trainer covers a specific topic and actively brings in expert knowledge while the participants are engaged in the elaboration of the topic.
Coaching as a proactive mental health intervention aims to improve performance and wellbeing or achieve a personal objective by helping clients learn rather than teaching them while maintaining a respectful, open and compassionate attitude and providing a structured process using appropriate techniques and tools. Coaching is a co-created environment to drive best quality thinking, learn about oneself and navigate change. The Flourished You approach toc coaching is also called evidence-based coaching or Coaching Psychology. Coaching Psychology is a developmental process grounded in psychological theory.
Yes, the training content is a general suggestion based on the needs assessment that has been undertaken. It goes without saying that the needs identified are not necessarily those of your employees. Therefore, the training can be completely adapted and modules can be added or exchanged. In addition, elements such as coaching for individuals and in a group format can be added, as well as TRE, mindfulness or yoga. Ultimately, the aim is to increase the wellbeing of employees. This can be achieved with each of Flourished You’s offerings, such as coaching, as well as in a combination of training modules and other practices. You can find out more in the proposal.
TRE® is an innovative series of exercises that assist the body in releasing deep muscular patterns of stress, tension and trauma. The exercises safely activate a natural reflex mechanism of shaking or vibrating that releases muscular tension, calming down the nervous system. When this muscular shaking/vibrating mechanism is activated in a safe and controlled environment, the body is encouraged to return back to a state of balance.
Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises (or TRE®) is based on the fundamental idea, backed by research, that stress, tension and trauma is both psychological and physical. TRE®’s reflexive muscle vibrations generally feel pleasant and soothing. After doing TRE®, many people report feelings of peace and well-being. TRE® has helped many thousands of people globally.
TRE® is designed to be a self-help tool that, once learned, can be used independently as needed throughout one’s life, thereby continuously supporting and promoting personal health and wellness.
Yoga is a traditional system of physical, mental, energetic and spiritual practices that have been time tested and aim to create a union of body, mind, soul, and the universal consciousness. Yogic practices include physical postures (asana), morale behaviour (yama), breathing techniques (pranayama), chanting (mantra), meditation (dhyana) and more.
Mindfulness is a form of mental training that focuses on being present in the moment and observing one‘s thoughts, feelings, and bodily sensations with an attitude of non–judgmental acceptance. It involves paying attention to the here and now, letting go of mental activity, and developing a greater awareness of one‘s body and the environment.
The benefits of practising yoga and mindfulness include increased physical and mental wellbeing, improved mood and concentration, reduced stress and anxiety, improved sleep, and increased self–awareness to name a few.
