Nice to Meet you

'There is no such things as a chance encounter' Paul Eluard

Hello, My name is Gaelle. Born in France, from the US, the UK, China and now Japan for the last 20 years, I have spent most of my life abroad. Adapting and living in a culture different from my own, marrying someone from a different country than me and raising our own biracial family, many challenges have come up.

Just before the birth of my first child, in 2010, I had a car accident. I then gave birth having sustained several injuries, far from my family and friends, in a foreign country. Not surprisingly, I ended up with Post-Partum Depression. A few months later, I had my first encounter with Sophrology during a stay in France and it changed my life. It has been my go-to method ever since to stay grounded, aware of my own needs and that of the people around me, learning how to face daily challenges in a positive and healthy way.

When my son encountered difficulties at school, I once again turned to Sophrology to help him and that is when I decided to take a course and become a certified Sophrologist myself so I could better support him. While talking to friends and acquaintances, I realized that I could help others in my community as well. Sophrology can be done in group settings with simple exercices that will help release and manage stress. In private sessions it is a very powerful counselling and therapy method that can be used to work deeply on any personal issue. To be able to bring the best of my experience to others around me, I went into Coaching Training as well and that is how I found out about Neuro Linguistic Programming. I then studied this amazing technique with 'NLP Comprehensive' to add NLP therapy to my practice. NLP is a way of helping people change their thoughts and behaviors and take charge of their own minds to help them achieve desired outcomes. It is an excellent complement to Sophrology and makes coaching and counseling even more effective.
