MODEL, COACH, ENTREPREUNER, INNER GLOW LIGHTER
I’m super excited you have landed here at WITHSAARA wellbeing platform. You are most likely one of those human beings (like me) who is really curious about how you can boost your resilience in order to struggle better when you face challenges or how you can be at your best and ultimately live a life that looks and feels like you.
My journey to WITHSAARA started roughly 11 years ago when I started my career as a professional model. A young girl from Vantaa, Finland on her way to New York for the first time. Since that first trip to New York, I've been traveling around the world and I have worked with some of the most prestigious clients in fashion and been able to build a very successful career.
What I’ve learnt through my years in fashion is that in order to succeed many elements need to be aligned: great team of agents, support from home, perseverance and a bit of luck. But what I know for sure is that healthy success never comes if we don’t prioritise our mental wellbeing.
That’s why I founded WITHSAARA. Through my masterclasses, coaching programs, workshops and podcast episodes you get to strengthen your resilience and learn how to glow optimally by using positive psychology and coaching tools.
Here you get to look inwards and strengthen your mental muscles in order to unlock all the beauty (the glow!) and the potential that lies within you so that you can perform in the best possible way at work and in your life.
This page is full of entertaining and educating resources to help you start glowing from within. Expect positive psychology tools spiced up with fun, authentic and courageous supermodel energy!
“There are plenty of human beings who are living their life to the fullest and who have their inner glow turned on. It’s a shame that most of those human beings are below 7-years-old.”
— Esa Saarinen

“The absence of mental illness is not a sufficient indicator of mental health.” Marie Jahoda
The main idea of positive psychology is that thriving, optimal performance and higher levels of wellbeing, require different set of strategies than treating mental illness. Building the good and learning resilience are what enable healthy coping, optimal performance and ultimately thriving. WITHSAARA services are based on this philosophy.
