How does sophrology work?
The objective of the sessions is to help you find personal resources to cope with stress and life's challenges.
The session begins with an interview and technique proposal.
The sophrologist performs the proposed exercise at the same time as her client. Both enter, through relaxation, a state in which alpha brain waves of pre-sleep relaxation predominate. The application of the technique is neutral, without any kind of dogma or need for personal content, beyond what the client wants to share.
The technique is recorded in audio and is given to the person so that they can practice and integrate their new state of awareness.
At the end of the session, the client is able to share their experience if they wish, in a safe space, free of judgement.
Sophrology can be practiced in a group. In this case, the technique is less personalized but may be done, for example, for a group with a common goal or interest.

“Laura worked in our selection processes with specific sessions for participants, both in groups (large and small groups) and individually.
Her sessions have always received the highest ratings from participants, and it has certainly been a significant improvement in our process.
Not only is she a great professional, but her sensitivity and ability to understand different contexts (working with adults, adolescents, professionals, etc.), make her a great asset for any organisation or company"

FAQ
QUESTIONS?
Some answers for you
Who can benefit from sophrology?
What's the sophro-liminal state?
The sophrology session takes place in a particular state of consciousness called the “sofroliminal” state in which alpha brain waves predominate.
This level, located between wakefulness and sleep, is less deep than that of hypnosis or meditation and is characterized by great relaxation, as well as heightened perception.
It is a neutral state in which the person has total control and, at the same time, is present and relaxed. Sophrology seeks to facilitate your ability to access this "sofroliminal" level, maintain it for a long time and use it to act positively in daily life.
Do I need experience or preparation prior to the sophrology session?
What is the difference between a personal and a group sophrology session?
What is the difference between an online sophrology session or in person?
How long does sophrology therapy last?
It depends on what you wish to achieve from your sophrology sessions. You can go for a specific issue and solve it in a single session or can deepen the benefits with several sessions on the same topic. You can also return to sophrology with a new question after a while. There are people who repeat the sessions regularly as a way of personal development, but it is something totally optional. It is also possible, for example, to alternate between group and individual sessions.
What are the recordings for?
The goal is to encourage practice and autonomy. The person can attend a session and then repeat it at home to consolidate the experience.
What training does a sophrologist have?
Why is it recommended to write at the end of the session?
Is it necessary to share personal issues with Laura, during the sophrology session?
Is there a recommended age to practice sophrology?
The sessions can be practiced from infants to seniors, adapting to each stage of life and to the personal situation. As far as it regards children, it depends on each case. It is ideal if they are in a verbal stage phase and that they can remain seated for a while. Seven years is a good age to start. The session will of course be more playful and oriented to the interests of the child.
How is Sophrology different from mindfulness?
The main difference is that Sophrology allows us, in addition to living consciously in the present, to rescue positive experiences from the past and bring them to the present consciousness. It also allows us to project the well-being of the technique into the future. Finally, there is the intentionality. That is, in a sophrology session a technique can be advised for a specific goal of my well-being. There is a wide number of techniques that can be adapted to the reality and need of the client.
How much does a sophrology session cost?
An individual session one to one costs 130 CHF and it is recognised by insurance companies attached to ASCA or RME.
