About us

Our mission is to vitalize individuals and their organizations to live their lives more fully, purposefully and productively. We know of very few companies that are firing on all cylinders. We know that too much talent and potential remain unused and unfulfilled... does this sound like you or your organization?

We started over 20 years ago, pioneering the concepts of Work-Self-Health (WSH) interaction and subsequently associated with the Behavioral Physiology Institute and Body/Mind Institute at the Harvard Medical School. With their support we developed a clear understanding of how the science of body-mind-behavior interacts and affects human performance, motivation and health, and also how education and coaching activates the human belief system of self-regulation and vitalization. We also developed seminars, coaching methodologies, motivational camps and training programs. Since then we have helped thousands of people build a better understanding of themselves and to get greater control of their professional, private and personal lives.

Based in Switzerland, Vivamea has clients, customers and associates throughout Europe, the USA and Canada.

  Our methodologies are based on our acclaimed MPD (Mastering Personal Dynamics) programs which have subsequently evolved into our product groups.

We have worked worldwide with over 50 major corporations involving over 3,000 executives and managers. Our results emphatically indicated that:

21% less absenteeism
33% better overall health
61% were more productive
68% were less stressed
71% planned their work and time better
89% enhanced their ability to maintain work-self-health patterns

The WSH challenges facing individuals and organizations are addressed in our online Vivamea Campus. Through this portal our clients educate and evaluate themselves so that they evolve with a clearer understanding of how to fulfill their true potential. This is supplemented by online coaching, targeted learning and interventions. We also provide each client with a dashboard which measures their progress, prevents them from returning to bad habits and flags early warning signals.

In addition to vitalizing individuals and organizations, our methodologies have been proven to be effective in reversing poor work, self or health patterns, as well as reducing the risks associated with stress, fatigue and getting a critical illness.
Work-Self-Health challenges have become agenda items from cabinet offices to boardrooms as our sedentary Western lifestyles and stressful work environments have
 
resulted in reduced performance and productivity, spiraling healthcare costs, increasing obesity, diabetes and a 700% rise in the prescription of anti-depressants. Our organizations and societies can no longer afford this.

This costs US industry over $300 billion and European business around €200 billion annually. The key fact is that for every $1 invested in Work-Self-Health programs results in a return on investment of 5-16 times.

"The Vivamea product is a fantastic interactive tool that helps individuals to find what is causing the stress that is inducting poor performance. With an holistic approach based as well on some behavioral physiology, the Vivamea product is helping us to be more self conscious around those factors and help us to fight them in a proactive manner."
