About Me

Elena Baybörek works as a holistic psychologist, hypnotherapist, health & plant-based nutrition coach, as well as a spiritual (also meditation/mindfulness) teacher for her company The Art of Flourishing. She is specialized in coaching highly sensitive people (HSP). She has teaching experiences in Switzerland as well as internationally for several years.

Since then, she founded The Art of Flourishing, because she believes in everyone’s ability to learn the Art of Flourishing, which means to her having the humility, curiosity, and responsibility for self-care and self-growth. On all levels – mentally, physically, emotionally, energetically, and spiritually, ideally with an eco-conscious approach.

Thus, her mission is to provide practice-oriented guidance and tools to help you help yourself. For optimal efficiency, Elena uses a multidisciplinary and holistic approach ; for people looking for an “alternative/non traditional” counseling style. Her unique approach comes mainly from the fields of positive psychology, somatic experiencing therapy, hypnotherapy, coaching, spirituality (asian spiritual practices), emotional freedom techniques (EFT), relaxation techniques (i.e., pranayama), meditation, mindfulness, art therapy, and plant-based nutrition.

Elena works in French, in English, and in German.

She works in her office in Neuchâtel (Switzerland), as well as online per phone call and videoconference (also for people living in other cities/countries).

To feel free to offer her unique approach that her clients ask her for, she chose to not affiliate with the Swiss Psychological Society, thus she is not reimbursed by the Swiss health insurance. She does however have a Swiss Federal Diploma (Bachelor and Master of Science in Psychology).
