Ever wondered how to manage a chronic condition like MS without relying solely on medication? In this episode of RAW CHATTER, Vicky Midwood chats with Audrey Zannese about her journey with Sophrology. Audrey, a French scientist and founder of Step Into Sophrology, shares how this unique practice helped her manage her multiple sclerosis (MS) diagnosis. Sophrology, a blend of Western relaxation techniques and Eastern meditative practices, is common in France but relatively unknown in the UK.
Audrey explains how it combines gentle body movements, breathwork, visualisations, and relaxation to bring mind and body into harmony. She emphasises its accessibility and practicality – you can practice it anywhere, even if you're bedridden. Audrey's story is inspiring: from scepticism to becoming a Sophrologist and helping others manage stress, anxiety, and chronic conditions. She highlights how regular short practices can significantly impact your well-being.
