The key moments of a life path

Support at life's key moments

Filomy is the everyday companion of people who want to make a positive difference to those around them: thinking of others, bringing people together, staying close. Some moments, though, matter far more than a single day — retirement, a birth, a bereavement, a fresh professional start. These guides help you go through them with clarity, surrounded by the people who matter, and recognise when support can make a real difference.

Celebrate and gather

A meaningful moment is better lived together. Filomy gathers the messages, photos and voices of your loved ones, wherever they are, with no app or account.

Keep a meaningful trace

What we live through deserves to be told. A memory book, a time capsule, a printed guest book: memories are passed on instead of fading away.

Find support to go further

When you feel a moment calls for more than a gesture, Olivier Paris, coach and biographer, takes over and builds a tailored path with you.

Frequently asked questions

Why seek support during a time of transition?

Because a turning point shakes up your routine, your sense of self and your relationships all at once. An outside perspective helps you put words to what is happening, make calmer choices and avoid going through a lasting change alone.

What is the difference between a coach, a biographer and a therapist?

A coach helps you clarify a goal and move forward; a biographer helps you gather and write a story; a therapist treats psychological distress. When distress is intense or lasting, it is advisable to see a doctor or a psychologist.

What is Filomy's role in these moments?

Filomy brings your loved ones together around the moment: messages, photos and voices in a guest book, a life story in a memory book, words for later in a time capsule. To go further, Olivier Paris, coach and biographer, builds a tailored path with you.
