Burnout and mental anxiety are increasingly common. Too much stress can lead to reduced performance, decreased focus and lack of creativity.

Where does it come from?
Also known as 'Dynamic Relaxation', Sophrology was created in Spain by neurologist and psychiatrist Professor Alfonso Caycedo in 1960.
For over 60 years, it has been widely used across Europe in diverse settings including corporate environments, elite sport and healthcare and has been advocated by high flying CEO's and Olympic athletes.
It is officially recognised by the French Government and in Switzerland, it is reimbursed by the Swiss National Insurance as it has been proven to reduce medication by 30% after regular practice.
