About me

I am Franco-American and I have lived in France, in the United States, in England and in Belgium.

Over 25 years, first as a Design Consultant then as Internal Communication deputy Director in various business sectors (leisure and media, automobile, non-profit organizations, pharmaceutical), I was committed to listening to individual needs and was eager to contribute to people’s well-being by giving sense and meaning to their work and living environment. Despite the often tense economic and social contexts, I was particularly drawn to actions which favored exchanges among individuals, fostered human diversity among teams, offered individual and collective development opportunities and gave way to didactic information about internal policies.

Today, as a certified Sophrologist and Hypnosis Practicioner, I am eager to pursue the mission to help people which I set out for myself. I was drawn to Sophrology and Hypnosis because it takes into account the person as a whole (body, mind and emotions); it offers tailored short-term therapies, geared towards a precisely defined goal. It helps you develop ressources to find the emotional state or behavior which you need and is right for you today.

I am also a professional Sophrology trainer.

I am a member of several local associations and eager to take part in developing a society more respectful of mankind and of our environment. I also follow up on thoughts and studies about child education because children are tomorrow's citizens of this world.

"Well-being and serenity! "

By Kelly

I had several sessions with Ms Dobbs for sleeping disorders and anxiety following a dog attack. Her help was more than precious to me: I feeling good again and serene in my daily life. After each session, I received the detailed breathing exercises to do at home! Thank you for your kindness and the quality of your work.

"At last I dared"

By Monique

Why did I wait so long to make an appointment with you?!! What a pity not to have come sooner! Deliverance, serenity, calm, light as air, A huge THANK YOU Alexandra! Everything worked out so well. From the first session, the problem I came for (eating disorder, night-time snacking) was resolved and, above all, I immediately had a feeling of well-being. So then, I wanted to continue with one more session to alleviate a recurring feeling of anxiety, a lack of self-confidence. Again, the session was beneficial. Our 3rd meeting consolidated the work carried out in the two previous sessions. Today, I am ready and eager to continue learning the basics of self-hypnosis. Thank you again, Alexandra, for the way you welcomed me, your professionalism and your kindness.

"A huge step forward"

By Magali

I am a practioner in Chinese energetic and acupuncture and a Pilates instructor. I take care of my students, my patients, but I sometimes forget to take care of myself... I had already tried sophrology sessions but I hadn't been convinced. Ms Dobbs is a very good listener and is very constructive. Her great voice, light and melodious helps you reach your objective, guiding you into a personal and intimate journey with concrete exercises. These exercises became my personal tools and they really helped me. Ms Dobbs' support was precious. Thanks to her, my appreciation of sophrology has changed and I greatly thank her. I made huge progress!
