Living in beautiful Little Venice, London, Alva juggles a high-pressure career in investment banking with the joys and demands of raising her young daughter.

Like so many women, she often found herself running on empty — constantly giving to others while putting her own needs last.

In this short video, Alva shares her honest and uplifting story of how discovering Sophrology helped her reconnect with herself. From her very first session, something shifted — and over time, the practice became a vital part of her day. She speaks with warmth and authenticity about how it’s helped her feel calmer, more focused, and more present in every part of her life — as a mother, a partner, and a professional.

If you’re feeling stretched thin or searching for a way to reset and recentre, Alva’s story is a powerful reminder that it’s possible to feel more like you again.
