If you haven’t heard of Eudaimonia before, there’s a good chance you’re wondering what it means!

The ancient Greek philosopher, Aristotle, created the word “eudaimonia” from the root word “daimon" – which means “power” or “true nature” or “spirit” – and “eu,” which means “good.”

Dr. Donna Dannenfelser founded Eudaimonia Psychology® with the goal of empowering people to live a joyful life, despite their circumstances. Through the practice of Eudaimonia Psychology® principles, you’ll be able to decide how you want to respond to life’s challenges and thrive as a result.

For many years, my clients would say to me, “I just want to be HAPPY.”

I’ve always struggled with this idea because, as humans, we are not meant to be happy all the time. Happy is an emotion, not a state of being. Instead, I have worked hard to help my clients find ways to feel at peace and calm in their lives, rather than perpetual happiness.

When I heard Dr. Donna speak about her Eudaimonia Program, I thought, “There it is! That is what I have been trying to teach people.”

Joining Dr. Donna and becoming a Eudaimonia Clinician was an easy decision because I felt so aligned with her purpose and program. The program itself is only five sessions– giving you practical tools so that you can live in a state of calm and positivity no matter what life throws your way!
