As a leader, your own self-care is vitally important. That’s why it’s valuable to know about practices like Sophrology. Dominique Antiglio joins us to share what Sophrology is and how useful it can be in stress and anxiety reduction, better sleep, and increased performance.
Dominique Antiglio is a Sophrologist specializing in stress-management, self-development, and birth preparation. Born in Switzerland, Dominique started Sophrology at fifteen years old, learning early ways to positively connect with herself and embrace a new way of living. At twenty-five, she graduated from the renowned European School of Osteopathy in Kent obtaining her Bsc(Hons) Ost. She returned to her native hometown and ran a successful osteopathic clinic for a decade, as well as specializing in treating children and pregnant women in France and the US. At the same time, she continued her personal development journey with Sophrology and trained as a Sophrologist. Dominique gained her Masters in Caycedian Sophrology (2006), notably training with Professor Caycedo, the founder of the method. Passionate about the mind-body connection, she also explored the power of sound and obtained her Holistic Voice Diploma in 2013 in the UK. (continued)
In 2011, having witnessed so many positive changes through the power of Sophrology for herself and her clients, she moved to London and founded BeSophro, a leading Sophrology clinic in Mayfair with an online platform. Through BeSophro she supports and inspires a wide variety of clients, individually and in groups, and working with schools and in the corporate environment, enthusiastically promoting the benefits of Sophrology in the UK and beyond. Her work has notably been featured in the Guardian, the Telegraph and Psychologies magazine. In 2015, Dominique also became a mother.
