Returning to yourself when drinking has taken too much space.

Sobriety

Behind the habit: what is asking to be heard.

This sobriety support is neither a specialised addiction therapy nor a detox programme.

It is a space of awareness — symbolic, psychological and inner — where you can explore what alcohol has been trying to numb, protect, or dissociate.

A place to listen to the overload, the fatigue, the loneliness, the old fractures, the longing for peace, the call of what feels true.

Here, we do not fight against the habit: we shed light on what gave birth to it, what it has been covering, and what in you is deeply longing to come back to life.

Who is this support for?

For women who experience:

✦  A relationship with alcohol that has taken too much space — without necessarily being “problematic” — but enough to feel that an inner imbalance is settling in.

✦  A habit that has become an automatic refuge to soothe the mind, emotions, stress, or to avoid overwhelm.

✦  A feeling of shame or loneliness around their use, even if it remains invisible to others.

✦  A weariness — the sense of no longer being in alignment with this repetitive gesture that distances them from themselves.

✦  The desire to understand what this habit is truly trying to calm, protect, or cover.

✦  A sense that their vitality, creativity, or presence in life is being affected.

And for women who wish to:

✦  Rebuild a more conscious and honest relationship with themselves.

✦  Soothe what pushes them toward the evening drink, internally.

✦  Reclaim choice where an automatic pattern has taken over.

✦  Learn to recognise the emotions, fatigue, and inner load that hide behind the habit.

✦  Feel a larger inner space returning — clearer, more alive, more vibrant.

✦  Come back to themselves without guilt or injunction, but with tenderness and lucidity.

What we explore together.

Each session opens a space to work with:

✦  Your current relationship to alcohol: what it soothes, what it avoids, what it is trying to express

✦  The invisible triggers: fatigue, mental overload, loneliness, stress, and ingrained bodily habits

✦  The repetitions: those moments when you find yourself drinking “without thinking,” as if on autopilot mode

✦  The inner sensation just before the gesture: emptiness, tension, dissociation, the need to slow down

✦  The emotions that have not yet found another path: sadness, anxiety, frustration, lack of gentleness

✦  The return to the body: presence, breathing, grounding, the capacity to feel without drowning

✦  The inner resources that genuinely help you move through a difficult moment without abandoning yourself

✦  The part of you that longs for more clarity, calm, and truth in your daily life

✦  What re-emerges when the habit loosens: creating, walking, speaking, breathing, feeling

✦  The way your relationship with yourself can be reinvented, gently, session after session

This is a sensitive inner support that meets your rhythm, your history, your emotions, and your desire to reconnect with a fuller presence to yourself.

Moving at the pace of what awakens in you.

One hour to return to what is truly moving inside you: overwhelm, confusion, sudden clarity, weariness, the desire to change without knowing where to begin.

Here, nothing is set in stone. Nothing is required of you except arriving as you are.

Some women come to shed light on the place alcohol has taken in their daily life.

Others want to reconnect with a gentler presence toward themselves — toward their body, their breath.

We follow the living thread of your rhythm: sometimes slow, sometimes steady, sometimes hesitant.

This path is not a performance, but an inner reorientation — a space where you can give room to what comes back, gently, to the surface.

Ways of Transformation.

✦  A clearer understanding of what alcohol soothes, diverts, or numbs in you — and of what is seeking, more deeply, to be heard.

✦  A finer sense of your emotional needs: fatigue, overwhelm, loneliness, the need for calm, the need to slow down — everything that asks for a different kind of care than the reflex of the glass.

✦  A gentler way of inhabiting your evenings, weekends, and life transitions: rediscovering rituals that genuinely support you.

✦  A gradual release of automatic habits, of thoughts that keep you in the “I hold on / I slip back” cycle, and of the guilt that comes with it.

✦  A soothing of inner tensions: shame, ambivalence, self-criticism, comparison — those landscapes often hidden behind the gesture of drinking.

✦  A simpler and truer relationship with yourself: less dissociation, more presence, more coherence between what you feel, what you live, and what you choose.

✦  The quiet strength to say a clear no, even in a world where alcohol is normalized and valued — reclaiming your sovereignty without needing to justify it.

✦  A renewed sense of vitality, clarity, creativity: feeling your energy return, your mind clear, and your body become an ally again.

✦  The concrete possibility of transforming your relationship with alcohol: stepping out of automatic pilot, reclaiming your inner freedom, and shaping a sobriety that feels like you — gentle, stable, and chosen.

The frame that welcomes you

Practical information

Sessions last one hour and take place online or in Mâcon (Burgundy, France).

This support follows no fixed protocol: it adapts to your inner rhythm, to what you are living today in your relationship with alcohol, to your emotional needs, your impulses, your resistances, and to the natural movement of your sobriety journey.

Some women come to shed light on a very specific moment: a recent loss of control, an automatic gesture returning, or an emotional trigger they want to understand.

Others move step by step to transform their relationship with alcohol, reclaim their inner presence, move out of shame or guilt, and inhabit a calmer daily life.

The frequency is flexible — weekly, bi-weekly, or occasional — depending on what truly supports you and allows integration.

Each session is a confidential, secure, and welcoming space, where you can bring what you are going through without judgment, with careful attention to your emotions, your internal mechanisms, and your body.

A one-hour session is €70. Payment is made session by session, with no package required: you move at your own pace, according to your needs, your resources, and the stage you are at in your process.

A free 30-minute introductory call is offered to get to know each other, explore your current relationship with alcohol, and see whether this support feels right for you.
