Originally from Yvelines, after a career in human resources and training, she moved to the Bordeaux region in 2014 with her husband and 8-year-old daughter. It was here that she decided to make a career change and become a Sophrologist and Hypnotherapist. Always passionate about art and human beings in general, being more about listening than talking, dance has been one of her passions from an early age. She started ballet at the age of 4. She has been dancing for almost 30 years now. Shy and reserved at first, dance helped her to gain confidence and assert herself, and then it became a real passion that continues to drive her today; so much so that she wanted to combine her passion and her profession, by specialising in coaching amateur and professional dancers. As a child, she practised the piano to develop her ear for music. She also rediscovered grace, elegance and the sensation of elevation in horse riding for several years. In dressage, she rediscovered the discipline, the feeling of 'dancing' with the horse, and the freedom and adrenaline of galloping along the beaches of Normandy.

When she moved to Bordeaux she joined Pascale Jaunet and Christophe Nicita's Aquitaine dance centre, where she had the opportunity to share the stage at the Théâtre Femina with the talented companies of Francois Mauduit and Pascal Touzeau.
Sensitive to the well-being of dancers, she was surprised to note the lack of mental support in dance schools and institutions in France, unlike in Anglo-Saxon countries. With her dual role, she now hopes to be able to respond to the demands and expectations of amateur and professional dancers, to support them as best she can in their artistic development.

It involves relaxing the body physically and muscularly, helping the mind to relax and awaken its capacities. Its aim is to harmonise body and mind, so that one no longer controls the other in a negative way. Through dynamic relaxation and static relaxation exercises, the body relaxes to calm the mind. Sportsmen and women were the first to use it (at the 1968 Winter Olympics in Grenoble), as were pilots and soldiers. It enables them to dancers to develop their potential, improve their condition in the event of injury and enhance their well-being. By encouraging our feelings to emerge, we become more attuned to ourselves and gain in confidence and self-esteem.

Controlled breathing comes from Eastern techniques, particularly yoga. It defuses negative emotions. The three types of breathing: abdominal, thoracic and complete allow the dancer to become aware of the movement of their breath throughout their body. The physical performance demanded of the dancer is intense, and the various breathing exercises help to :
The aim of sport is to achieve an optimal level of activation (a balance between stress and performance). Growing up, with the "stress of everyday life", most of us forgot to breathe normally with our stomachs, a natural and innate mechanism that we all did perfectly when we were babies.

The exercises are performed either standing or seated, using gentle movements combined with breathing, performed with full awareness, using positive images and/or choreographed movements. This technique enables the dancer to visualise the movement more clearly in their mind, to become aware of muscular tensions so as to release them more easily and relax the body that is so often pushed to extremes.

Through a resource image, a word, a past memory or a future situation, we reactivate sensations we have already experienced before, to activate them "here and now". What's more, learning a choreography by repeating it several times requires a great deal of physical effort, so reproducing it mentally helps to spare the body and synchronise the music with the movement. Visualisation also helps you to strengthen your grounding, verticality and support (push your heels into the floor, work on your plié for better momentum) to improve your balance and jumps and achieve the feeling of lightness and freedom so sought-after in dance. Through mental preparation, sophrology helps the brain to condition itself for D-day, by projecting and positively visualising the performance on stage or in a competition, or a specific event; in this way, the dancer gets rid of negative thoughts and gains serenity and confidence. Visualisation appeals to all the senses, helping to develop memory, stimulate concentration, improve knowledge of the body's schema, boost self-confidence and so on. Sophrology is a gentle, natural and highly effective method. Thanks to the relaxation of the body, we are in an altered state of consciousness (which we all know how to do naturally when we dream on the train while watching the scenery go by outside the window, when we have been reading the same sentence on a page of a book for a few minutes, when we are "on the verge" of falling asleep, or when we are just in the "flow"...); in this state, we are freed from the filters and senses that connect us to the outside world, those that condition our thoughts, so that we can concentrate more fully on our physical, mental and emotional feelings in the present moment. We no longer think about the past or the future, we just concentrate on what is happening right now. Sophrology is a living experience, based on the principles of adaptability (each session and exercise is individual), the integration of the body schema, objective reality and positive action, encouraging training and autonomy. Like flexibility, being outside and memory, listening to yourself is like a 'mental muscle' that you need to train every day.

While the practice of mental preparation is beginning to develop among high-level sportspeople, what about dance? Aren't dancers/artists also high-level athletes? While Anglo-Saxon countries seem to be more interested in integrating mental preparation into physical and technical preparation from the outset of support for athletes and artists, it's a shame to see that in 'Latin' approaches, athletes and artists go to see a mental coach when they're not doing well. However, this is not a therapeutic or psychological approach. Mental preparation is the development of mental and cognitive skills to enhance performance and the pleasure of practising one's sport or art. Dance is a demanding discipline that requires a good knowledge of oneself. Dancers are constantly on the lookout for the perfect gesture and feeling, in order to bring out the best in themselves. Mental preparation in this context enables them to be well prepared for the stage and to master their performance.

Even if emotions are useful to dancers in reproducing movement and influencing their artistic sensibility, sophrology will help them to manage and control them better. Stress, anxiety, frustration and pain are all part of the daily lives of dancers, who are constantly striving to evolve in their art. The method will help them in their day-to-day work during rehearsals, auditions, performances, recuperation after a break, an injury, touring, and even preparation for retraining at the end of their career. It helps to develop artistic work (embodying a role, a character), to find harmony between professional, artistic and personal life, and accompanies the daily life of each person (sleep disorders, eating disorders, stopping smoking, perinatal and parental problems, etc.).

So it's time to take care of your mental well-being to stay on course, boost your motivation, strengthen your optimism and avoid letting yourself be overwhelmed by blocking thoughts. So that you can simply remain inspired by your art and continue to shine on the inside, before returning to your slippers, parquet floor, Harlequin, stage and an audience full of starry-eyed anticipation.
