BONJOUR, HELLO!
Hi, I'm Florence
I went into 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 still have the life I wanted while 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.
20
years helping people with burnout, hyper-stress, anxiety and sleep issues, in France and England.
Both times, after the burnout and when building a new life, I was lucky enough to rely on sophrology. Both times it delivered, and I realised it was the moment for me to lead the way for others.
I have helped my clients find a calmer, more harmonious life, find solutions for a better life, and rebuild themselves to be truly who they are.
Today I bring my expertise to all those who need a lighter, less stressful life. I work online from anywhere in the world. I work one to one or with groups, in French and in English.
Cited as "The New Mindfulness" by The Guardian, sophrology is a mind-body technique using breathwork, body awareness exercises, visualisation, gentle movement and meditation.
