"One of the most transformative experiences of my life."
"Attending the MA in Happiness Studies was one of the most transformative experiences of my life. It gave structure and scientific foundation to my work, besides bringing it to a deeper level of understanding and execution. Dr. Tal Ben-Shahar has an extraordinary talent for explaining the most complex concepts and texts, and to welcome all to a fun and effective learning experience. His team of professors are the final touch that helps make the experience a memorable one, which I will forever keep in my "chest" of dear memories."

"Grateful for the learning, the people..."
"What does it look like to pause and truly honor a milestone along the way? This past November, I attended my second Happiness Studies Academy Retreat in Rio de Janeiro. It was a beautiful experience — rich conversations, thoughtful reflection, and time spent with an incredible community. A meaningful highlight for me was receiving my Certificate in Happiness Studies. While our Master’s program officially wrapped in December 2025 and graduation will take place in May 2026, this moment marked an important milestone: I am now a Certified Happiness Trainer. Thank you Tal Ben-Shahar! This journey continues to shape how I show up in my coaching and consulting work - reminding me that sustainable change doesn’t come from pushing harder, but from creating space for awareness, intention, and care. Grateful for the learning, the people, and the quiet reminders along the way."

"practice that can shape lives and inspire change"
"When I started studying with the Happiness Studies Academy (HSA) in 2020 — at the height of the pandemic — I didn’t know the path ahead would take this long. The journey stretched over years of change: shifting roles, facing health challenges, and balancing work and life.
But I never gave up.
Today, I’m deeply proud to have completed this journey and earned the Certificate in Happiness Studies (CiHS) — becoming a Certified Happiness Trainer. Every step on this journey reminded me that happiness is both a science and an art — a practice that can shape lives and inspire change"
