Sophrology means “the science of consciousness in harmony.” It's a gentle and holistic practice that blends Eastern and Western traditions to support harmony between the body, mind and spirit. Drawing inspiration from yoga, Buddhist meditation, Japanese Zen and modern relaxation techniques, it combines breathwork, gentle movement, conscious awareness and positive visualisation to guide you into a state of deep calm and self-awareness.
Sophrology invites you to slow down, soften inward and return to your natural state of balance. Through simple yet powerful practices, you learn to relax deeply, clear the mind and ground the body. By beginning with body awareness, you are guided to release physical tension, feel more present in the here and now and reconnect with a sense of safety and ease within yourself. As the body relaxes, the mind naturally becomes quieter, helping you gain greater emotional clarity and inner peace.
As the practice deepens, you are also invited to explore the landscape of the mind. Sophrology gently supports you in letting go of negative thought patterns, limiting beliefs and emotional blocks that may be holding you back. Over time, this process nurtures self-confidence, self-esteem and trust in your own inner wisdom. Your intuition becomes more refined and you begin to experience yourself with greater compassion and understanding.
By bringing awareness to the connection between body and mind, Sophrology helps restore inner harmony and balance. You learn to listen more deeply to yourself, align with your values and live with greater authenticity and purpose. With regular practice, Sophrology becomes a way of life, a sanctuary of calm in the midst of daily demands and a path toward feeling more grounded, centred and in tune with both yourself and the world around you.
Whether you are seeking relaxation, emotional balance, personal growth or spiritual connection, Sophrology offers a nurturing space to breathe, reconnect and rediscover your inner peace.
What Happens in a Sophrology Session?
Each session is personalised and gentle, meeting you where you are.
We begin with a short conversation to understand your needs and intentions. You will then be guided through practices such as:
• Breathing techniques to calm the mind and body
• Gentle movement to release tension and increase awareness
• Guided relaxation and visualisation to encourage deep rest and emotional balance
• Mindfulness practices to help you feel present and centred
Sessions are usually practised sitting or standing with eyes closed, but you may also half-close your eyes or lie down if that feels more comfortable. Your comfort always comes first.
Bringing Sophrology into Daily Life
At the end of each session, we take time to reflect together and you will be offered simple exercises to practise at home.
Your daily practice does not need to be long, even 2 to 20 minutes can create meaningful change. Regular practice supports deeper integration and lasting wellbeing.
Over time, Sophrology helps you develop a stronger connection to yourself, physically, emotionally and intuitively, supporting personal growth, confidence and inner harmony.
