Welcome to a calmer, happier version of you through sophrology

Why sophrology?

The World Health Organization (WHO) reminds us that there is no health without mental health. Because our mental health is the foundation of our overall well-being. Stress and anxiety, concentration, confidence, sleep, chronic pain, preparing for an important event, well-being at work, personal development, achieving personal goals: all of these issues can be addressed through sophrology. Sophrology is your guide to a healthier, more serene life.

In a world full of stress and anxiety, the need for serenity is stronger than ever.

95% of the French population says that they have a major source of stress or anxiety (IFOP survey, 2022). While this statistic is very concerning, it is merely part of a global trend. A 2021 Gallup poll of 122 countries showed that, globally, 41% of adults are subject to intense stress.

In today’s world, which many experience as a whirlpool of pressures and expectations, sophrology can be a peaceful haven, a means of finding balance and ease in every moment through:

Mental and physical relaxation
Pain relief and prevention
Greater resiliency in the face of stress
Improvement of sleep
Better management of one’s emotions
Increase in self-esteem
Better understanding of one’s potential

Through the use of sophrology and its tools for well-being, psychosomatic troubles (physical symptoms or ailments often linked to underlying psychological issues) will disappear just as the morning fog dissipates when the sun rises.

Why coaching?

Having realistic goals and objectives helps to keep us in a positive frame of mind and feeling fulfilled. And when we have realistic goals and objectives, each step forward is a step closer to being even more truly ourselves.

Coaching is a practice that serves as an invitation for you to remember and bring forth your most profound desires so as to help you re-align your life with your true values. And in addition, coaching will also help you to

Identify your strengths
Handle the complex challenges of daily life with wisdom
Design a way forward that truly resonates with your soul and help you put it into practice
Become the master of your own destiny
Cultivate unshakeable self-confidence

The keys to happiness already exist within you… Let us find them together and grow the seeds of your own well-being!

Sophrology and coaching packages

As a certified sophrologist living and practicing just outside of Annecy (France), I offer personalized sessions tailored to your needs and goals. I work with clients in France and around the world, and in three languages: French, English, and Turk. Whether in person or online, each session is an invitation to you to reconnect with your deepest self.

One-on-one sessions

Through personalized, one-on-one sessions, I can provide guidance and support which is completely adapted to your individual situation and needs. Together we will take the time to explore the issues impacting your daily life.

Your feelings, they are the echoes of your unconscious
Your stress, it is a chance to catch your breath.
Your fears, they are shadows to disperse by bringing in the light.
Your goals, they are dreams to be awakened.
Your objectives, they are stars to be reached.

Together we will work on the challenges facing you and the goals you hold most dear. These sessions are structured according to what you need and based on your availability and are, of course, completely and totally confidential.

Group sessions and workshops

The energy of working within a group can be highly beneficial for certain people. Workshops and group sessions offer the opportunity to explore relaxation techniques together in a warm and welcoming environment. A shared goal of reaching deep within to seek well-being creates a healing dynamic within the group.

By sharing ideas and experiences with others, you will also gain insight into your own path. These group sessions create a sense of community and also serve to fuel your sense of motivation.

Conferences

Teaching, helping, and bringing solutions – these are all part of my deepest values. As a sophrologist and coach, I regularly organize conferences on particular themes to help guide you and assist you in finding your path gently and with confidence. But my greatest wish is to help you find within yourself that spark that will inspire you to move forward with confidence and energy.
