Cheryl McCoy Sophrology
Supporting you on the path to wellness
Who am I?
Originally from Ireland, I have now lived in Tournefeuille for over 25 years. For most of that time, I’ve taught English both to children and adults in many schools, companies and associations around Toulouse. During these many years teaching I developed my communication and listening skills as well as the ability to create a calm and relaxed atmosphere in which trainees feel at ease to speak a foreign language without fear of making mistakes or being judged.
Why I became a Sophrologist
I have always been interested in well-being and personal development techniques and have practiced meditation and yoga. I had heard about the benefits of sophrology dealing with stress, adapting to change and helping us to feel positive and confident in our lives. After following a 2-year course to become a qualified Sophrologist, I feel the benefits on a daily basis. Sophrology has become an important part of my daily life and has helped me in many aspects of my life, such as making important decisions, sleeping better and feeling happier and calmer. Convinced by the "power" of sophrology, I want to help others to feel better and to reduce stress and anxiety in their lives.
