Bonjour, hello!

Hi, I'm Florence

I went in burnout aged 23 when I was still a student and it changed my life I had to rebuild myself from the ground up.  It was scary and it was difficult.  It took me time to understand where and how to get help and how to be able to still have the buzzy life I wanted while also respecting my own limits.   I then worked for many years in high-performance environments within Strategy Consulting and International Logistics, side by side with truly inspirational leaders; men and women who showed me how to be a top manager while remaining sane, healthy and superbly efficient.  

Then came a time when I realised I wanted something else from life, I needed to truly discover myself and live a life that would be more meaningful for me.  Here I was, back inside for some deep soul searching.   Both times, after the burnout and when building a new life, I was lucky enough to be able to rely on Sophrology, an amazing mind-body technique that is both super simple and fantastically efficient. Both times, it delivered, and I realised that time that it was the moment for me to lead the way for others with this technique.  


Cited as ‘the new mindfulness’, Sophrology is a mind-body technique that uses a unique mixture of breathing and relaxation exercises, body awareness, visualization, gentle movement and meditation. It can be used by anyone, anywhere, at any time and has proven results.

I have been helping people with hyper-stress, burnout, anxiety and sleep issues in France and England for nearly 20 years.  I have helped them find a balance, a calmer and more harmonious life, they have found solutions for a better life, they have been able to rebuild themselves and be truly themselves.

Today, I bring myexpertise to all those who need a lighter and less stressful life, either in person in central France or online from anywhere in the world. I work one to one or with groups, online or in person, in French and in English.

I also love teaching. I created The Sophrology Academy, first sophrology training centre in the UK in 2010, I was President of FEPS (Federation for Sophrology Professional Schools) for 3 years and I am Vice-President of ISF (International Sophrology Federation). Today I still teach at The Sophrology Academy in Kent and from other schools in France, Switzerland, Luxemburg and even once online in Spanish for a sophrology training centre in Mexico!
