Born and raised in the South of France,

I chose to study psychology in the USA for the quality of its teaching and its excellent research in neurosciences and trauma treatments.

​

I have a MA in Counselling Somatic Psychology from the California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco. Somatic or body psychology approaches the person as a whole and integrates the body into psychotherapy. 

 

Soma = body in ancient Greek

For many of us, we have been brought up in a society in which our body and mind have been treated as two separate entities. Somatic psychotherapy reminds us of how important our mind-body experience is. Somatic therapy creates a space to acknowledge that the body and the mind are in relationship.

​

Body psychotherapy is proven to support you :

• processing and integrating traumatic experiences

• to put words on feelings and behaviors that sometimes are difficult to convey,

• to mindfully notice your body's responses and intuitive impulses to unwind patterns and habits that no longer serve you,

• to replace old habits and negative self-talk with new tools and habits that are transformational,

• to learn how to regulate your emotions, 

• to feel better about yourself and enhance your relationships

• to support those going through difficult times (grief, loss of a job, disease...).

​

Whether feeling stuck or experiencing emotional or physical pain, finding support is the first step toward well-being.
