Discovering Balance and Success: Embracing the Lagom Philosophy in Well-being Practice

At The Australian School of Holistic Counselling, we hold the belief that success in any realm springs from a harmonious blend of passion, purpose, and pragmatism. As champions of holistic development, we are thrilled to introduce you to a transformative concept that has the potential to elevate your well-being practice to new heights – the Lagom philosophy.

The Lagom Way: Striking Equilibrium in a Rapidly Changing World

In an era marked by extremes, the Swedish philosophy of Lagom presents a refreshing outlook. Translating to “just the right amount,” Lagom encapsulates the art of balance and moderation. This principle resonates deeply with our pursuit of well-being, guiding us to find equilibrium between our aspirations and the realities we navigate.

Navigating the Unique Challenges of the Well-being Industry

For those dedicated to the well-being industry, the journey is both inspiring and demanding. The aspiration to positively impact lives often intertwines with the imperative of financial sustainability. This intricate balancing act can sometimes feel daunting, and it is here that Lagom emerges as a valuable guiding star.

Lagom in Well-being: An Empowering Approach

At its essence, the Lagom philosophy empowers practitioners to strike a harmonious chord between their altruistic ambitions and the pragmatic aspects of their practice. It is a gentle reminder that seeking financial stability need not stand in opposition to making a difference; rather, they are interdependent. Lagom steers us to deliver precisely the right value to our clients, charge equitably for our expertise, and chart a sustainable course to perpetuate our vital work.

Embarking on the Lagom Journey: Seven Steps to Balance

Embarking on the Lagom journey within your well-being practice entails traversing seven pivotal steps:
