Our founder
Japji Anna Bas, PhD, PCC
Rooted in this work
I teach quiet leaders, sensitive thinkers, and change-driven misfits how to catch their breath without dropping the ball.
My work blends trauma-informed coaching, somatic practices, and systems strategy to help people root into their own capacity and rise into work that feels good, does good and creates lasting benefit.
I’m a wellbeing strategist, professional certified coach, and systems thinker with 20+ years’ experience in education, community work, and organizational transformation.
I hold a PhD in Wellbeing Environments and have served as a peer reviewer for Social Indicators Research for over 6 years. My frameworks have supported nonprofits, creatives, and movement leaders in recovering from burnout, clarifying direction, and leading with integrity — from the inside out.
Why this work, why now?
In late 2023, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I stepped away from client work for a year for treatment and recovery.
Having seen firsthand how systems fail, and how communities rise, my return brought added clarity: meaningful change isn’t about pushing harder. It’s about tuning in to what’s real — our bodies, our relationships, our energy. These lessons surface in the work.
Flourish Energy is the culmination of decades of research and practice, infused with a kind of clarity you only earn by walking through fire. The kind of clarity that says: we don’t hustle our way to healing. We compost, integrate, and rise.
What I do
I work at the intersection of personal healing and systems change — where root causes meet human needs.
Right now, that looks like:
Group coaching for quiet, purpose-driven leaders who want to grow in community
Strategic consulting for nonprofits, creative orgs, and social impact teams
Special projects that braid vision, research, and regenerative design
I also create tools, frameworks, and spaces for people to pause, reflect, and lead from within.
What grounds me
I believe in growth cycles, relational accountability, & making space for the truth.
I am committed to trauma-informed approaches and collective liberation.
And, I understand that healing must go hand in hand with grounded strategy for leadership to breathe life into your values. The revolution begins within.
If this resonates, reach out and let’s flourish. Together.
