How we work with people just like you ...
Where traditional methods often strive to bring you from a state of suffering (-10) to simply getting by (0), we at BU believe in the potential for something far greater. We're here to guide your journey from simply getting by (0) to fulfilling your potential and reaching your definition of happiness (+10).
We aren't interested in over-focusing on what's "wrong". Nor do we believe that you need to be "fixed". Our mission is to uncover the strengths that already live within you and help them flourish. We want to celebrate what's already right about you and help it grow.
Our team at BU is composed of professional coaches whose passion and expertise is in teaching you to master your mind and emotions. But above all, we aim to empower you to seize control of your own happiness. With BU, you're not just surviving - you're thriving. Rediscover your best self, and let us guide you on your journey to a happier, healthier life.

Annelise's story is a testament to the immeasurable value of investing in one's happiness and personal growth. Because, in her words, "if your own happiness isn't worth investing in, what is?"

From a fixed mindset, she has evolved into a voracious learner, constantly seeking to grow. Her heartfelt advice to everyone? Dive in, take that leap, especially if it scares you, because that's where growth truly lies.
