Joy, confidence

and serenity

for those who have already tried everything

Is it you?

Do you feel your emotions very intensely, often to the point of being painful?
Do your moods sometimes vary a lot and/or in a very short space of time?
Do you find it hard to feel like you belong?
Do you sometimes feel intense despair?
Do you fear the future and worry a lot about it?
Do you find your relationships with others complicated and/or unfulfilling?
Do you sometimes suffer fromimpulsiveness in your relationships with others, in your eating habits and/or in your spending?

First of all, please know that I'm sorry,
because I know how difficult this is.

And yet...

Perhaps you've already started therapy, without seeing any real improvement in your condition?
You're doing your best to maintain a healthy lifestyle, but it just doesn't seem to be enough?
You follow numerous personal development, positive psychology and/or life coaching accounts on social networks, but they don't seem to help you in the most difficult moments?
Perhaps you've even tried meditation, yoga, sophrology, hypnosis, EFT and a whole host of other techniques, but you still feel the same suffering, despair and pain all too regularly?

In fact, despite all your efforts and investment,
you still don't really feel any better?

Don't panic!

Your suffering is not inevitable.

Today, many experts agree that emotional lability, mood instability, anxiety, relational difficulties and impulsivity are, in many situations, consequences of complex psychotrauma, i.e. the individual's experience of a chronic failure in his or her environment, whether or not this is conscious on the part of the individual and those around him or her. In fact, contrary to popular belief, this chronic failure can occur in a loving, socially and financially privileged environment and, as a result, go unnoticed, further complicating the difficulties encountered by the individual.

These experts include Stephen Porges, Professor Emeritus of Psychiatry and Director of the Traumatic Stress Research Consortium at Indiana University.include Stephen Porges, Professor Emeritus of Psychiatry and Director of Indiana University's Traumatic Stress Research Consortium; Bessel van der Kolk, American psychiatrist and founder of the Boston Trauma Center; Gabor Maté, physician specializing in addiction, child development and the relationship between stress and illness; Jan Winhall, American social worker and psychotherapist; Peter Levine, doctor of psychology and medical and biological sciences, and founder of Somatic Experiencing®; Daniel Siegel, professor of interpersonal neurobiology at the Los Angeles School of Medicine; and Larry Heller, doctor of psychology and founder of the NeuroAffective Relational Model.

Everyone agrees that complex psychotrauma alters our biopsychological organization, resulting in a variety of socio-psycho-physiological manifestations. So the difficulties you're suffering from are probably just the painful but entirely natural consequences of :

  • traumatic deregulation of your nervous system, alternating or accumulating phases of intense sympathetic activation and parasympathetic deactivation;

  • the implementation of adaptive survival behaviours that are necessary and useful at a given moment, but whose maintenance over time now alters your capacity for well-being and fulfillment.

What those who work with Coralie have to say

  • "I'm so grateful for Coralie's work, the results are beyond my expectations. I've achieved goals I never thought possible, in just 6 months I'm seeing major changes related to symptoms of traumatic origin: dissociation, insecurity, loneliness, emotional dependence, self-esteem, procrastination, chronic inflammation, compulsive eating, chronic fatigue. I didn't expect such a profound and rapid change; she is by far the most competent therapist I've ever met."

    Olga N.

  • "Being in Coralie's space has been such a powerful personal growth experience for me. Since day one, she has always met me with love, sometimes the tough form when needed, and a sense of clarity through honesty that is unrivalled. Part of the medicine I experience through Coralie is that there is nothing that can remain hidden due to her intense compassionate curiosity and intuitive enquiry. This mirroring has allowed me to be truly honest with myself and acknowledge what isn't working as well as what is under-celebrated about myself and in my life more broadly. She is a fierce advocate of me and for me, and invites me to step into a space of self advocacy by being a stand for who I am and what I represent in the world. She sees how powerful I am and continues to invite me back to that when I forget. Always with love. Always with space. I am forever grateful for what Coralie has brought into my life. "

    Anne van der Giessen

  • "Coralie creates a wonderful supportive safe space to allow you to open up without intimidation. She is a generous coach, a great listener, and an ally who will champion your highs and hold you in your lows as she gently guides your self exploration. Working with Coralie has helped me to discover and befriend parts of myself that deserve to have a voice and to be heard, and with her own unique wisdom has given understanding on how to work with feelings and emotions and integrate them with love and compassion. Coralie is a true healer.

    Heather Nash

  • "Working with Coralie, I experienced a deeper connection with myself and what I truly desire. I realized how insecure I felt and how much I let my fear make my decisions. Our sessions have enabled me to orientate myself towards what is truly safe for me and to maintain this state as I progress towards my goals. It was a revelation. Many things have changed radically in my life thanks to this new understanding of myself."

    Rebekah Esdale

  • "Working with Coralie was a breath of fresh air. I felt completely free to be myself, supported, stimulated and encouraged to become the most authentic expression of myself. I highly recommend working with her!"

    Heather Urness
    (translated from English)

  • "I would just like to add a huge thank you for the work you are doing as a coach. You create such a beautiful space for exploration and coming home to one's self. I felt safe, held and heard during our sessions. Words cannot truly describe the energy you bring but all I can say is it feels deeply nourishing and nurturing. I very much look forward future sessions with you. "

    R. E.

  • "Coralie, I wanted to thank you after our session yesterday. Your method proved incredibly effective, bringing me significant relief from the anxiety episode I was going through. Your ability to alleviate my worries is truly remarkable. Thank you for your attentive listening and caring approach. Knowing that I can count on such competent support gives me confidence and hope in my recovery process."

    S. A.d.S.

  • "You're so great at what you do Coralie. I can't even begin to explain this fully. It feels natural and as if the way you holds space comes straight from your heart. I admire your capacity to sit in such a self-less way when you are coaching. Zero agenda. Warmth, love, fire, presence. "

By the way...

You may be wondering who I am and what my background is.

Well, I've been studying human beings and the dynamics that drive them for fifteen years, ten years of training in different approaches to health and well-being, thirty-four years of loving Bleu d'Auvergne and probably just as much as I hate peppers.

I chose to train in the accompaniment and resolution of psychotrauma outside the French university curriculum, recognizing an institutional violence and a system that intrinsically and structurally perpetuates different forms of trauma.

I am neither a psychologist nor a doctor, and I am convinced that this contributes to the strength of my support. I do, however, recognize that there are situations where medical support is absolutely essential. In such cases, I believe that the ideal is to be able to experience a synergy between this medical support and support in resolving the psychotrauma, informed by a deep and detailed understanding of the trauma mechanism, which can only be apprehended in a relevant way when it is considered in all its dimensions, within the system in which it occurs.

I have also worked at theInstitut du PsychoTrauma Paris, in collaboration with psychiatrists who have referred to me, and continue to refer to me, some of the people who consult them in order to help them resolve andintegrate the trauma they have experienced, regulate their nervous system and significantly and sustainablyimprove their quality of life. Today, they enjoy a significantly improved quality of life, with a much more stable mood, tamed emotions, controlled impulsivity, enriched interpersonal relationships and a renewed zest for life and the future.

During my training, I first became interested in cognitive-behavioral therapies, before quickly realizing their limitations: in the case of psychotrauma, the biophysiological mechanisms determining cognition and behavior are altered, and it's only by working in conjunction with the body and nervous system that we can bring about a real improvement in our condition.

I then chose to train in Somatic Experiencing®, a gentle, trauma-friendly therapy based on the observation of animal behavior in the wild. Why don't animals develop post-traumatic stress symptoms when they're constantly exposed to mortal danger? It was in answering this question that Peter Levine developed Somatic Experiencing®, offering a natural and effective solution to psychotrauma.

To this practice of Somatic Experiencing®, I integrate training in life coaching, complex psychotrauma andattachment issues, as well as various non-invasive neurotechnologies directly supporting the regulation of the autonomic and central nervous system. This is what enables me today to provide effective support to anyone ready to embark on a profound journey towards significant and lasting well-being.
