How Ultimate Resilience Has Helped Teens & Young Adults Flourish
“There are very few moments as special as watching a person discover that they are so much more capable than they realised.”
– Matt Furlonger, Co-founder & Coach at F&T
I loved seeing a positive result in my confidence, my mindset towards school and even my surroundings. The program was encouraging, motivating and easy to follow. I have seen such a difference so I would definitely recommend this program.
I would do this course a million times over just because it really benefited me that much! My favourite part of the programme was how often I felt supported and safe. I HIGHLY recommend this programme and I honestly think every single person should do it. I’ve been shown that life really is something worth living! Thank you a million times!!!
I was able to find out more about myself and other people. I very quickly rekindled my relationships with others and was able to understand why I had them - if it was for good reasons or not. I learnt to love myself and set goals for my future. I really enjoyed every session and it gave me more positivity. I had the best mentor to get me through everything.
I learnt a lot about how powerful I can be and how strong I am.
I started out this year unsure of how to cope with my emotions and negative thoughts. This course has helped me learn how to combat those emotions and how to cope with tough times. It is incredibly life changing and puts you on the path to your ideal life and inner superhero!
This program has honestly changed my life. I never thought I would be able to do 90% of the things I am able to overcome and accomplish now. In the beginning of the program I was fragile, weak, anxious and unable to handle any stressful or overwhelming situation in my life. I now feel like I have grown so much from this program. It has helped me get out of my comfort zone and challenge myself to do things that are not necessarily comfortable for me but benefit me a lot. I am doing things that I never dreamed I would ever be able to do. I would 100% recommend this program to someone like me who was struggling a lot with lack of resilience, getting out of your comfort zone and having high functioning anxiety. I truly do believe I have reached my thriving self and I could not be more impressed with the coaches and the program. It truly has been a life changing experience.

Did you know: resilience is more important than IQ?
Studies show that your child’s resilience – not IQ – is the greatest predictor of how successful they’ll be.
Resilience is our ability to tolerate discomfort, rise above life’s obstacles and to grow from challenges. The more resilient your child is, the more they’re protected against stress, depression, anxiety, eating disorders and addiction – even (and especially) if it’s genetic.
Benefits of building resilience
Clearer sense of purpose and meaning in life
Increased motivation
Improved learning and academic performance
Improved immunity and vitality
Healthier relationships
Less anxiety & depression
Better stress management
More confidence and higher self-esteem
Greater satisfaction with life
Why You Want Us In Your Corner
Hi! We're Matt & Jess.
We’re young enough to “get” it but old enough to help. And we’ve been there. So for us, it’s personal.
Ultimate Resilience draws on several techniques and exciting fields of psychology, including:
Positive Psychology
Neurolinguistic Programming
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
Neuroscience
But perhaps the most important aspect of our program is the quality of support, rapport and trust we work to cultivate with our clients as we help them move forward in life.
We’ve both struggled and we know what it’s like to feel misunderstood, defective, fearful, helpless – like we’re going to be stuck living well below our potential forever. It’s a dark and lonely place.
Teens and young adults don’t need to endure the unnecessary pain and suffering we did when there are solutions to it.
“Getting your child a coach is like giving them their very own expert cheerleader: a mentor who can help them break through barriers, become their own heroes and achieve new levels of confidence and success.”
- Jess Sjouerman, Co-Founder & Coach at Flourish & Thrive

And that’s just a taste of what they’ll get up to on their growth adventure with us…
What Parents Have To Say About Our Coaching Program
Flourish & Thrive came into our lives at exactly the time that we needed. We were encouraged to see a therapist in addition to a psychiatrist. A friend suggested that perhaps a life coach could be more beneficial as they are generally more 'tools' focused than 'feelings/emotions' focused. I cannot accurately describe how incredible and results-oriented this journey has been. Matt went way beyond what was expected of him. He invests his heart into his clients and becomes a mentor that, I believe, every young person needs. Even if you're fortunate enough to be in a position that you don't need a psychiatrist/psychologist/therapist, gift this to yourself or the young people in your life. What a foundation for resilience and a thriving life. Thank you, Matt.
It has helped my young adult develop the necessary tools to manage her severe anxiety and lack of energy. I have seen her emerge from her comfort zone and take on challenges that she was unable to face before starting the program. I would recommend both Jessica and the program without hesitation.
The most appropriate name for this program, as my daughter most definitely flourished and thrived through participating in this series. Her positivity in so many areas has improved, her belief in herself and achievement of balance between different areas of her life has been so encouraging to see. Matthew’s personal interest and genuine care towards his students was amazing. I am so grateful to have enrolled my daughter in the Flourish and Thrive program and can't recommend it highly enough to parents of teens as they navigate the challenges of teen years, school, and all of life's curveballs, challenges, and opportunities.
Our daughter did not want to nor did she feel the need to go to the school counsellor or psychiatrist so Flourish & Thrive was a perfect alternative. We were so lucky to have found this program. It has been invaluable and will continue to benefit her throughout her life. We can't thank you enough.

Why 14-Weeks? Can’t I Just Pay For A Session Or Two?
Great question! We do this for 2 reasons…
- Most coaches will offer a session or two. But if you’ve been to them you’ve probably discovered that your child may feel better for a couple of weeks and then slips back into their old, unhelpful patterns and habits getting them down. This causes more damage to their sense of self and capability as it reinforces the belief that they’ll be stuck like that forever, which makes it even harder for them to make any REAL changes after that. We find this heartbreaking!
- We’re results-driven and believe whole-heartedly in what we offer. We’re not interested in coaxing you and your child into years of open-ended coaching. Many of our previous clients have been in years of therapy with very little improvements before enrolling in Ultimate Resilience. Letting go of unhelpful habits and building new empowering ones takes time – in our experience, 14-weeks is a good minimum to prep teens and young adults with the fundamentals of resilience.
Frequently asked questions, answered.
Who is this program for?
This program is for teens and young adults aged 15 years and up. We work with young people experiencing a range of issues, including depression, social anxiety, general anxiety, low motivation and energy, lack of purpose and direction, failure to launch and low self esteem and confidence, to name a few.
Coaching is ALSO available for those with relatively few issues, but who want to perform better, whether in academics, sports or cultural activities, or become the best version of themselves.
In short, resilience coaching is useful for any teen or young adult who would like to improve their life and give themselves the best shot at success and thriving!
Who is this program not for?
If your child has an active eating disorder, addiction or is self-harming, they need to have the support of a therapist or have been through therapy before we work together.
Is this a self-paced digital program or live coaching?
This is a LIVE one-on-one coaching program where your child will receive weekly, individual support over 14 weeks to help them tackle their obstacles and grow into a more confident version of themselves!
Is coaching done online or in person?
Coaching is available online from wherever you are in the world! If you are in Cape Town, you may also opt to do coaching in person at our office in the Southern Suburbs.
Is this a group program or one-on-one coaching?
This program is currently being offered one-on-one. Your child will receive support and tools tailored to where they’re at and who they want to be.
How much is the program?
The investment is R13 500 for 14 weeks (21 hours) of coaching.
Does the cost include support in between sessions?
Yes! We send weekly motivational messages and are available to our clients over WhatsApp should they be struggling with their Mission Objectives (a fun term for ‘homework’) or need help facing an issue.
Can I pay in installments?
