I practice a multi-faceted form of Sophrology (I'm a qualified sophrologist from the Collège Européen de Naturopathie Traditionnelle Holistique (C.E.NA.T.HO) in Paris, and a member of the Société Française de Sophrologie (S.F.S.)), based on the first 4 levels of Caycédienne Dynamic Relaxation (RDC levels 1 to 4), as well as Mindfulness and Yoga Nidra. I have enriched my approach to relaxation with aromatherapy, olfacto-therapy, manual techniques and Reïki energetics. To provide enriched support, I wanted to acquire the keys to self-understanding and dialogue with others. I was introduced to different approaches such as Non-Violent Communication (NVC), Transactional Analysis (TA), Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) while preparing for the DUCERH (Lille 2 University Diploma), as well as project constellation. I raise awareness of holistic health based on naturopathy, by encouraging a balanced diet and quality products, with regular sports and social activities as the foundation of our work. My interest in sustainable and accessible food led me to co-found a citizen's supermarket in Ixelles, called Le Pédalo Coop.
I specialize in sophrology in the following areas:
- artistic: creativity, self-confidence, stage presence, managing financial insecurity, self-knowledge - being an artist myself.
- perinatality: promoting respected births through birth preparation, postpartum, child planning and parenthood) - my knowledge has fed into my experience of physiological home birth.
- support for medical treatment: in organizations such as hospitals or for private individuals
- exam preparation: manage your stress and prepare to deploy your resources for those passages in life that require presence, confidence and access to your knowledge.
- prevention & health at work: team vitality in organizations of all types (NGOs, non-profit organizations, SMEs, cooperatives and major groups). I have expertise in prevention and well-being consulting, and in supporting individual and collective transitions through partnerships with Madame Papillon Asbl (women's burn-out), Bubble Pop (children's internships and coaching) and the Wellbeing Seeders consultant cooperative (transition sowers within organizations).
I'm passionate about teaching sophrology, stress management and prevention tools to groups of 3 to over 30 people, as well as individual follow-up, in French and English.
I cater to a diverse, multicultural audience, from 6 years old to long after, interested in stress management, self-awareness and improving relationships.
The benefits of my practice are multiple and complementary to medical care and more mental approaches, activating individual resources and potential through conscious breathing, tension and relaxation exercises and visualizations.
In concrete terms, how does an individual Sophrology session work?
Allow 50min to 1h (1h15 to 1h30 for the 1st appointment). A session consists of several stages:
- An exchange during which I gather your information and suggest a practice adapted to your current situation.
- Relaxation using my voice to guide your concentration on the different parts of your body.
- Practice, based on breathing, visualization and movement.
- Global re-energization of the body.
- A time of exchange to express (without obligation) your feelings and impressions.
