My name is Tanja Haag. I accompany individuals and companies in preventing burnout and strengthening mental health in the long term. My approach is structured, practical, and always on equal footing—without promises of a miracle cure, but with proven methods and a trained eye for what really works.

Burnout prevention is not a passing trend, but a responsibility towards people and organizations. That's why I don't promise magic – just straightforward, realistic ways that can have a lasting impact if people are willing to follow them.

My background

I know from personal experience what overload and exhaustion feel like. This personal story motivated me to pursue a professional career in burnout prevention.
Today, I combine personal life experience, psychological expertise, and coaching practice into an approach that reaches individuals and companies alike.

Quality & Professionalism

I place great importance on reputable standards and networking.

• Member of the German Society for Health and Prevention (DGGP)
• Moderator of the ABC Café Wehr for the BBuD e.V. (Federal Association for Burnout and Depression)
• Training as a psychological counselor specializing in burnout prevention at the BTB (Educational Institute for Therapeutic Professions)
• Exchange with colleagues via the Lörrach Coaching Network

These memberships stand for professional quality, ethical standards, and continuous further training. They show that my work is not isolated, but rather involves exchange with professional circles and current developments.

The STRONG Method

To make burnout prevention tangible and structured, I developed the STRONG Method: a straightforward 5-step plan that combines psychological expertise with practical tools.

The STRONG method forms the foundation of my work, whether in workshops, lectures, or executive training sessions.

Hi, I'm Tanja Haag, your burnout expert. My journey began twelve years ago when I went through the turmoil of burnout myself. But I came out stronger, and since then it's been my mission to help others reach their full potential without burning out.

My passion for coaching started early. I started as an exercise instructor at the age of 14 and found my calling in supporting and empowering people. Since 2020, I have also been working as a burnout coach and have turned my hobby into my profession.

Through my personal experience and my training as a psychological counselor, I have developed the STARK against burnout formula. This is based on a holistic approach that includes my own experiences, conversations with those affected and theoretical knowledge.

In my talks and workshops, I not only share my specialist knowledge, but also my open and honest manner. I respond to each participant individually and support them empathetically on their path to a fulfilled life.

Why am I an expert on burnout? Not only because I have gone through this process myself, but also because of my training and continuous development in this field.

My work is informed by a deep understanding of the challenges we face in modern working life. Yet I firmly believe that it is possible to live a fulfilling life without burning yourself out. Let me help you find the path that is right for you.

I like my work. My first job took me to a new city, even a new country. As the first female sales engineer in my company, I faced some challenges, but I loved the work. I managed large customer projects, traveled around the world and led customer training sessions.

But at some point I realized that I was defining myself through my job and forgetting that there was more to life than that. When my body finally sounded the alarm and I felt compelled to shift down a gear, my journey back to myself began.

I learned that it's important not to let your job define you and that it's okay to say no. With small changes in my life, I found my way back to a healthy work-life balance.

My journey wasn't easy, but it has made me who I am today: a woman who loves her work, but also knows how important it is to take time for herself. If you find yourself in a similar situation, don't hesitate to seek help. Because sometimes it's just all too much or too little.
