“Dominique ran a wellbeing session for all of the teaching staff on managing stress. The teachers found her Sophrology techniques very beneficial. Dominique encouraged the teachers to talk about the issues that created anxiety and stress in their lives and then gave some practical and meaningful strategies to hep to reduce their stress levels. A good number of teachers were also keen to participate in subsequent Sophrology workshops that Dominique ran. I personally found just listening to Dominique’s voice soothing and relaxing!

Dominique also ran a workshop for our older pupils as part of the school’s Wellbeing Week. The session provided the children with some calming strategies and they found it really interesting and helpful. They were able to use some of the Sophrology techniques in the run up to their Common Entrance exams. The exam results were some of our best ever and stress levels seemed to be less prevalent than usual. A huge number of factors led to this success, notably the children’s hard work and good teaching, but I have no doubt that a greater awareness of their own wellbeing and being equipped with strategies to cope with stress hugely benefited our children.”
