Sophrology means “the science of consciousness in harmony."
It is a mind-body practice designed to improve self-awareness, inner-harmony and to promote physical, mental and emotional wellbeing.
This structured method, also called “dynamic meditation”, is based on:
The practice of Sophrology helps clear the mind, deeply relax and ground the body in order to access a state of inner calm.
A holistic method efficient at alleviating stress, anxiety, insomnia, depression and at increasing your overall sense of wellbeing.
It is also a self-development practice.
Starting by focusing on the body, you will discover techniques to get rid of inner tension, be grounded and fully present to the here and now. By relaxing your body, you will allow your mind to quiet down allowing you a better control over your emotions and access a state of inner calm.
You will also learn to concentrate on the mind, to contemplate and to let go of negativity, limiting beliefs and anything that is holding you back. You will progressively develop your intuition, self-confidence and self-esteem. Subsequently, by directing your awareness towards the interaction of the mind and body, you improve self-awareness, inner harmony and inner balance. You learn to reconnect to your inner self, to be aligned to your existential values and to be more in tune with yourself and with the world around you.
With Sophrology, you have the tools to transform your life positively.
WHAT TO EXPECT DURING A SOPHROLOGY SESSION?
We will start the session with an initial discussion to assess your specific needs and establish your goal. I will then guide you through specific exercises and provide you a tailored programme. This programme will be refined through our sessions depending on your feedback and preferences.
We usually practice Sophrology sitting or/and standing with eyes closed to focus inside. However if closing your eyes is not comfortable for you, you can half close them. If the standing or sitting position is unpleasant, you can also practice lying down.
After each session, I will suggest some exercises for you to practice at home, on your own time. Your daily practice doesn't have to be long, you can start with anything between 2 to 20 mins. A regular practice is advised to fully integrate the techniques in your lifestyle and see lasting improvements.
Through the sessions, you will develop, at your own pace, a deeper understanding of yourself, you will discover your body wisdom and explore your feelings and values helping you to reconnect with your true self and live a more meaningful and fulfilling life.

The many benefits of Sophrology include:
In Sophrology, we focus on the positive element inside us that will empower us, strengthen and reinforce our inner self; improving self-esteem and resilience and giving us more control over our life.
Positive thoughts start a positive chain reaction inside us.
We intend to feel fully alive in the here and now, to bring our body into a live reality, to live in good health and to achieve harmony between body, mind and spirit.
We have a choice on how we live our life.
Sophrology teaches us to live in full consciousness and to understand and be fully aware of our Existential Values.
In Sophrology, we learn to see and accept the reality of things and others as they are, without judgement or preconceive ideas. We allow ourselves to live our sensations, we invite them in with no pre-conceived ideas, no interpretation, no judgement.
We learn to let things come, to be more in tune with ourselves and the world around us.
I provide a safe and confidential space where you are free to live and share your experience without judgement.
