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.

"A very nice experience"
I took part in a collective initiation session to sophrology. It was a very good course, very professional and which brought me to complete relaxation. The teacher is very knowledgeable and very pleasant. She creates a good atmosphere, allowing you to reach profound relaxation.
"A great session to discover sophrology"
People under stress are guaranteed to relax. Good to know: the therapist offers zoom sessions. I tried it and I recommend it. It works! During the session I did simple exercises which I can now to repeat at will. I felt deeply relaxed after the session.
"Very professional"
A very professional person. We worked on my fatigue (eyes, face and back) by videoconference. I initially doubted that I could concentrate at home, but thanks to Alexandra's very precise auditory guidance, it was very easy and with very effective results. Thank you Alexandra!
