About

Flourish

The journey to true health and well-being is often complex, and it's natural to carry the weight of past challenges and unattainable ideals. Regardless of where you’ve been, where you are now or where you want to be in the future, this holistic, evidence-based course will help you clarify what ‘flourishing’ looks like for you — and develop the action steps to get there.

You will learn to:

  • Develop a compelling vision of what flourishing looks like for you.
  • Identify your unique strengths and how they support your vision.
  • Integrate the various domains of health.
  • Set goals and a trajectory to flourish.
  • Build your sphere of support, including your support of others.

Who Should Register?

  • Working professionals who are struggling to find work-life balance.
  • Parents who want tools for raising healthy families.
  • Anyone who is fed up with the wellness industry and doesn’t know what information to trust.
  • People experiencing “burnout” who’d rather be thriving.
