A natural way to help restore your balance
Menopause is a unique and personal journey - and wherever you are on it, you're not alone.
You might already be taking hormones and looking for a complementary practice to manage stress and feel more empowered. Or perhaps you’re still figuring it all out, feeling overwhelmed by the changes. Either way, Sophrology is here for you.
This gentle yet effective mind-body practice has been widely used across continental Europe to support women through life transitions. It’s not a replacement for medical advice, but it is a proven method for managing stress, improving sleep, and building emotional resilience.
