"Sophrology is learning to live"
Prof. Alfonso Caycedo
What I can help you with
Learn to Manage Stress
Stress is good and does motivate you but too much stress can lead to impaired performance, increased anxiety levels and sometimes burnout. By learning to listen to what is happening inside, by taking the time to pause, you will learn when you are at your best and how to take care of yourself.
Improve your Sleep and Energy Levels
Good sleep is an essential part of your well-being and enables you to function at your best with a clear mind in a rested body. There are many reasons for sleep to be disrupted or difficult and the build-up over months or even years can have devastating effects. Through various techniques and by introducing healthy routines in your day you have the capacity to improve the quality of your sleep.
Prepare for Exams or Competitions
Sophrology is not a magic wand and will not replace the work needed for exam revisions or competitive training, but it can help you get rid of the nerves, enhance your focus; by repeating some of the exercises over a reasonable period of time you can face these important events in a more serene way and be the best you can when you need it.
Boost your Self Confidence
For whatever reason you may feel you lack confidence, sophrology can help you find
the positive inner resources that you have in you, your self-belief, your inner
strength, and your place in the world.

About me
I am a Certified Sophrology Practitioner having trained at the Sophrology Academy in Kent, UK. When I started my training, I was intrigued by this method that draws its philosophy from Eastern practices and Western relaxation methods: it seemed to me like the perfect blend for developing life skills in a gentle way, and it proved to be exactly that.
​
What I did not expect was the inner transformation that I experienced through this practice. With Sophrology, I came to take agency of my life and to live my life fully in line with my values. I overcame long lasting grief, gained more self-confidence, developed emotional resilience and found my true purpose in life.
​
Having raised three sons and having lost my brother to suicide whilst we were both in our early twenties I have experienced the turmoil but also the amazing potential of teenage hood, a time of growth, expansion and infinite possibilities. I am passionate about giving young people the tools that can help them face life challenges. I facilitate this personal inner transformation through gentle guiding (in English or French) and help them grow their own toolbox for life.
I left France when I was in my early twenties and have lived in London since then, making it my home. My other career is in publishing where I have worked for over 25 years, traveling throughout Europe and selling translation rights to publishers around the world. You can also find me practicing yoga several times a week, cooking with my family or curled up on a sofa with my two cats and a good book.
