You are here because you want to work as a fashion model. You are wondering if you have what it takes to build a career in the fashion world’s capitals. Where do you even start? What do you need to know? What are the challenges? What about the possibilities?
This is not the usual photo studio where you work as a model. This is a studio where the focus is on you, your mental wellbeing and of course your career as a fashion model.
I’ve combined tools from the science of wellbeing and all that I’ve learned in the past 10 years working as a successful fashion model to guide you towards a healthier, happier and thriving career in fashion. You can read more about my story here.
I truly believe that in order to succeed as a fashion model, you need to be holistically equipped for the job. So let me be your guide and show you how you can discover your personal strengths, build more resilience, and a better mindset to elevate your career in fashion and entertainment.
Preparing for this unique job starts from within.
Now, I want you to know something really important right away: No one can promise you success. No one.
So I won’t promise you success either but here’s what I promise instead:
-
Realistic and honest view of the profession
You will have access to unique in-depth know-how from my own personal experience working as a fashion model for over a decade. No wishful thinking.
-
Mental preparation and prevention
Invaluable tools to cope better with the mental challenges of the industry such as uncertainty, self-doubts, decreased self-worth and pressure to be and perform at your 100% 24/7
-
Deeper trust in yourself
More self-confidence and self-compassion. You will feel more trusting to express yourself uniquely in castings, photoshoots and at the agency
-
Encouraging community
Encouraging and supportive environment works like a catalyst for personal and professional growth - that’s the energy in my coaching programs.
Bespoke workshops for professional talents and their agencies
What People Are Saying
“One of the most eye opening and empowering realization in Thriving Talent Training was to find out my personal strengths. I want to treat myself and my life as an exciting project that I'm developing through my personal strengths. Thriving Talent Training has given me the keys to access more joy and creativity in my everyday life, at work and outside of work.”
— Jessica Luostarinen, Fashion Model and Multimedia Artist
"What an amazing and informative online course. I’ve been in the industry for ten years and module after module I kept thinking, I wish someone had told me these things when I started! The tools based on positive psychology are not only useful in modelling but a very essential toolkit for life. Saara has such a wonderful and compassionate presence. I love the possibility of going at one’s own pace and that everything is cut into easy to study and digest sections. Workbooks and tasks are insightful! This training can make modelling a much more comfortable and safe job and make you glow from the inside."

“If there’s something that modeling has taught me is that grounded self-confidence, self-worth and feeling good about who I am are not products of outer things such as compliments, being on a cover of a magazine, or hanging in the coolest clubs in New York. Grounded self-confidence and true well-being come from within us; from our ability to practice authenticity and face challenges with resilience. ”
