Course description

Do you consider yourself a sensitive person? Is your sensitivity drowning in your strengths? Do you want to balance your sensitivity and strengths and be able to flourish as your true self?

About one fifth of women and men are highly sensitive, meaning that their nervous system is naturally more sensitive than usual. In this course, you will learn to understand how high sensitivity manifests itself and what a gift it is for you and your environment. Together and individually, we will seek healthy boundaries and balance in those areas that present challenges to sensitive people. The strength typical of sensitive people can be turned into a resource instead of a burden. The course is intended for those of you who know that you have the characteristics of a highly sensitive person. Someone close to you may also be highly sensitive. The course is also suitable for those of you who want to delve deeper into your sensitive side and make it your strength. The teacher is Heli Väisänen, a Master of Arts in Psychology, LCAF Certified Coach®, and a well-being and change coach. For more information about the teacher, visit www.visiosi.fi

Väisänen Heli

I am Heli Väisänen, a wellbeing and change coach. I have been a tutor at Valamo College since the summer of 2017 and currently have five different courses a year. Each of my courses has the same core: How to find not so much the best, but the most authentic version of ourselves. Valamo is a great place for this in every season. A place where it is easy to be present for yourself and others, to gain a new kind of vitality and inner peace. To start the change you need the most - with small, easy, but effective means. I am a Master of Arts in Education, a classroom and music teacher and a certified coach. Nowadays I mainly work as an entrepreneur, but I sometimes substitute as a resource teacher and early childhood education teacher in the Helsinki Metropolitan Area. The words serial enthusiast and eternal student describe me. People of all ages are my greatest interest. I often wonder what kind of mark we leave on each other and what we could do differently to have more joy, beauty and hope. I have met wonderful people in my life who have meaningful things to say to all of us. For these reasons, I make a podcast called Kuusi kehää. You can find it on YouTube. Some of the guests on my podcast have come into my life right here in Valamo. You can read more about my courses and coaching, as well as the coaching programs I have developed, on my website https://visiosi.fi
