Portrait of Didier, sophrologist in La Montagne

About

Didier, Sophrologist

A qualified sophrologist and yoga teacher, I welcome people in La Montagne for one-to-one sessions and group workshops, at my practice or online.

Passionate about body ecology and knowledge of the Self, for individual and collective well-being, I help each person get to know themselves better, express their abilities and live each day with more serenity.

Over the years, the energy dimension has found its place along this path. I don’t keep it apart from the rest: it grows out of it, and I’d rather say so simply than wrap it in mystery. You don’t need to believe in anything to come.

Through personalised sessions, I help you reveal your potential and draw on the resources within you.

Ellyaïm is our family signature: the first names of our two granddaughters, joined with the name AÏM. A way of keeping transmission and the joy of living at the heart of this work.

The practices

Find the session that suits you

Four ways into the same thing: finding space within yourself again. We choose together, at the first appointment.

Your first appointment

During this first conversation, something else often comes up: something you hadn’t planned to say, and that matters more.

You will probably arrive with a specific request: sleeping better, less stress, getting your energy back. We start by talking about it, simply, to understand where you are.

That is often where the real work begins. You will move at your own pace, and stay in control from start to finish.

One-to-one

Before anything else, I offer you a first 15-minute phone call, with no commitment, so we can see whether we want to work together.

Group workshops

The path is a little different: a 20-minute conversation before your first workshop, to discover the setting and get a feel for the atmosphere.

Taking care of yourself means tending your roots so you can fully flourish.

Sessions take place in La Montagne.

How it works by video call

The same process as at my practice. This is how I work with people in mainland France and abroad, taking the time difference into account.

  1. A 15-minute phone call. We get to know each other, with no commitment.
  2. Feels right? I offer you a time slot, confirmed as soon as your bank transfer is received.
  3. We meet by video call at the agreed time. The link is sent to you 1 hour beforehand.

Free cancellation up to 48 hours before. After that, the session is due, or can be rescheduled once.

Many French complementary health insurers (“mutuelles”) partly cover sophrology sessions. You receive an invoice after each session.

What happens in a sophrology session?

A session lasts one hour, at the practice in La Montagne or by video call. It begins with a conversation about what brings you, with no obligation to talk. Then comes a time of practice (breathing, relaxation, gentle movement and visualisation) during which there is nothing you have to get right. The session ends with a time to talk, and you can leave with a recording, a practice to do at home.

What is infotherapy?

Infotherapy is a subtle energy method that aims to identify the source of an issue and to free you from past emotional wounds, using Solarisations: water-based preparations into which the vibrational rate of one or more flowers has been transferred. A session lasts one hour and costs €60. You don’t need to believe in anything to come.
