Finding My Way Back to Myself

For a long time, I thought I was exactly where I needed to be.

I had built my career in the corporate world. I worked in sales, managed clients, negotiated contracts, and had all the responsibilities that come with constantly having targets to meet.

And I was good at what I did.

I loved the challenges, the energy, pushing myself, and above all, that satisfaction of achieving something I had worked hard for.

But somewhere along the way, I found myself in a rhythm that never really stopped.

Work followed me home. My phone was always within reach. Even when I traveled, a part of me was still elsewhere, thinking about work, replying to messages, or preparing for the next meeting.

I had become very good at moving forward.

But I had forgotten how to simply be.

The Moment I Understood I Needed to Come Back to Myself

Life eventually forced me to stop.

After losing my job during the COVID period, moving to a new country, getting married, and going through a lot of uncertainty, I found myself facing pressure I had never experienced before.

Little by little, I felt myself losing my footing.

Things that previously wouldn't have really bothered me became difficult to manage. I was highly reactive, worried, and trying to control everything happening around me.

Then one day, I felt a pain in my chest that made me stop.

And a question came to me:

What are you doing to yourself?

That question stayed with me.

I understood that I couldn't keep living like this. Something had to change.

I had to find my way back to myself.

I Started with Something I Already Knew

I went back to meditation.

It wasn't completely new to me. I had already practiced meditation a few years before, but at some point, I had stopped.

So I started again.

Little by little, I felt calmer. I stopped looking for someone to blame and started taking more responsibility for my own life.

I understood that if I could drift so far away from myself, I could also find my way back.

And I wanted to.

Then, one evening, I came across a teacher talking about energetic healing.

At that time, I didn't even know what Reiki was.

But something intrigued me. I wanted to know more.

I began training and, over the months, became a Reiki Master.

Along the way, I also discovered sound and yoga.

Each practice brought me something different.

Yoga brought me back into my body.

Meditation taught me to create more space in my mind.

Reiki invited me to slow down and listen differently.

Sound made me realize how powerful it can be to stop doing and simply receive.

Little by little, I started finding the different parts of myself again.

I felt more connected to who I was once more.

From My Own Path to Creating a Space for Others

That is how Harmony at Point Zero was born.

The name comes from an idea that became very important to me: the zero point.

For me, it is that place where you can pause, put down some of what you are carrying, and return to what truly matters.

Today, I offer Shamballa Reiki, yoga, sound therapy, and sound journeys. I also create retreats and immersive wellness experiences.

I don't see these practices as completely separate things.

Each brings something different, but they all give us the opportunity to slow down, be more present, and reconnect with ourselves.

Sometimes, we need to move.

Sometimes, we need stillness.

Sometimes, we need sound.

And sometimes, we simply need to leave our daily routine behind for a few days and have a space where no one asks anything of us.

There is no single right way to come back to oneself.

Why Retreats Became So Important to Me

I have always loved traveling.

Discovering new places, meeting people, experiencing other cultures, and stepping out of what I already know is part of who I am.

But over time, I realized that traveling doesn't have to mean being constantly in motion.

Sometimes, the most important journey is the one that finally allows us to stop.

That is what I want to offer through my retreats.

Not a schedule packed from morning to night.

Not another to-do list.

And not a week where you have to wake up at 6 a.m., participate in every single activity, and go home even more tired than before.

I want to create a space where you have a choice.

You can do yoga.

Meditate.

Walk.

Participate in a sound journey.

Stay quietly in your room.

Sleep in.

Chat, laugh, explore the surroundings, or simply do nothing for a while.

Because to me, wellness is not about doing everything perfectly.

Sometimes, it is simply about giving yourself permission to listen to what you actually need.

What Harmony at Point Zero Represents to Me

I don't think a yoga class, a Reiki session, a sound journey, or a retreat is going to miraculously transform your life.

I am not promising you that.

What I do believe, however, is that creating the right space can help us listen to ourselves again.

And sometimes, that is where something begins to change.

A little more space.

A little more awareness.

A little less noise.

A deeper breath.

A body that relaxes.

A moment where you realize you don't need to keep running.

You can stop.

Listen.

Return.

That is what Harmony at Point Zero is to me.

Creating spaces where you can slow down, reconnect with yourself, and find your own rhythm.

Because sometimes, we don't need to become someone else.

We simply need to find the way back to ourselves.

2. Yoga, Much More Than Movement

Coming Back into the Body

When people think of yoga, they often think of poses, flexibility, and perhaps someone capable of performing impressive postures.

To me, yoga is much simpler than that.

It is a way of coming back into your body.

Of slowing down enough to notice how you actually feel.

To breathe, move, listen, and create a little more space, in the body as well as in the mind.

You don't need to be flexible.

You don't need to know the names of all the poses.

You don't need to have practiced for years.

You simply need to show up as you are.

Why I Came to Yoga

Yoga became an important part of my own journey after I began exploring meditation and energy work.

For years, I lived very much in my head.

I was thinking, planning, looking for solutions, making decisions, and always focusing on what was coming next.

Yoga allowed me to experience things differently.

Instead of wondering what I should do next, I started paying more attention to what was happening here and now.

How does my body feel?

How am I breathing?

Where do I feel tension?

Can I soften a little?

Can I stay here for one more breath?

These are simple questions, but they can change how we listen to ourselves.

Yoga Doesn't Have to Be Just One Thing

That is one of the things I love most about yoga.

There is no single way to practice.

Some days, your body wants to move.

Other days, it needs to slow down.

Sometimes, you have a lot of energy to release.

Sometimes, you simply need to rest.

That is why I offer both Vinyasa Yoga and Yin Yoga.

They are two very different practices, but both can help us return to ourselves.

Vinyasa: Move, Breathe, Feel Alive

Vinyasa is a more dynamic practice, in which movement and breath are linked.

We flow through different poses, letting the breath guide the pace of the practice.

For me, Vinyasa is not just about creating a beautiful sequence.

It is about feeling the body wake up.

Moving with intention.

Building strength.

Generating energy.

And sometimes simply leaving behind the mental chatter we stepped onto the mat with.

There is something very powerful about moving to the rhythm of your breath.

For a moment, there is nothing to solve.

You are simply there.

Breathing.

Moving.

Feeling.

Yin: Slow Down, Release, Listen

Yin offers a completely different experience.

Instead of flowing from one movement to another, we hold poses for longer, allowing us to take the time to settle in and observe what is happening.

It is a quiet practice.

Sometimes, it can be challenging.

Sometimes, it is deeply restful.

Yin invites us to become more comfortable with stillness.

And that is not always easy.

We live in a world that constantly pushes us to do more, go faster, and stay productive.

Yin offers us something else.

Staying.

Breathing.

Listening.

There is nothing to achieve.

No need to go further than your body allows today.

You can simply be present with what is.

The Breath Changes So Much

Breath is an essential part of my yoga practice.

We often spend our days without really noticing how we breathe.

When we are stressed, our breath can become faster or shallower.

When we slow down, it can naturally become deeper and calmer.

In yoga, the breath becomes an anchor.

Something to return to when the mind starts to wander.

And sometimes, it isn't even necessary to change anything.

Simply becoming aware of your breath can already create a small pause.

Yoga Is Not About Being Good at Yoga

I really wish more people knew this.

You don't need to be flexible to practice yoga.

You don't need to touch your toes.

You don't need to do advanced poses.

And above all, you don't need to compare yourself to the person next to you.

Yoga is not a performance.

Your body changes every day.

Your energy changes.

Your needs change.

Your practice can change too.

The goal is not to force your body into a pose.

Rather, it is about learning to listen to it and finding the way to practice that works for you today.

A Practice That Adapts to You

This is also how I approach my classes.

I don't believe everyone needs the same practice.

A session should meet you where you are today—physically, mentally, and energetically.

You might need to move.

To release tension.

To build strength.

To slow down.

Or simply to have an hour where no one asks anything of you.

Yoga can support you right where you are.

And tomorrow, you might need something completely different.

That is perfectly normal.

Coming Back into the Body

In the end, that is what yoga is to me.

Coming back.

Coming back after spending hours thinking.

After the to-do lists.

After the pressure to always be productive.

After yesterday and before tomorrow.

Coming back into the body.

Coming back to the breath.

Coming back to this moment.

And maybe, for a little while, coming back to yourself.

You don't need to become someone else on your mat.

You don't need to fix yourself.

You simply need to arrive.

Breathe.

Move.

Listen.

And see what is already there.

Vinyasa or Yin?

If you are wondering which practice suits you best, there is no single right answer.

Choose Vinyasa if you are looking for:

Movement, energy, strength, and a dynamic practice connected to the breath.

Choose Yin if you are looking for:

Slowness, stillness, release, and a more introspective practice.

And if you don't know?

That's okay.

Simply start by asking yourself:

What do I need today?

And let your practice begin there.

3. Sound, Energy, and the Art of Slowing Down

There are certain things we feel without necessarily needing to explain them.

A sound that makes us stop.

A song that changes our mood in a matter of seconds.

The feeling of a vibration in the body.

The relief of closing our eyes, breathing deeply, and simply remaining still.

This is what draws me to working with sound and energy.

Not because I think they are magical or because you need to believe in anything in particular.

To me, they are simply different ways of creating space.

Of slowing down.

Of listening.

Of reconnecting with oneself.

My Discovery of Energy Work

I discovered energy work at a time when I was already looking for a different way of experiencing life.

I had gone back to meditating and was beginning to understand what could change when I stopped constantly looking for answers outside of myself.

Then I discovered Reiki.

At first, I knew almost nothing about this practice.

I simply felt drawn to learn more.

I began training and eventually became a Shamballa Reiki Master.

What interested me wasn't the idea of finding a magical fix for everything.

It was, above all, this experience of slowing down.

Of becoming more mindful.

Of creating a space where I could listen to what was happening inside me instead of constantly trying to control what was happening around me.

This way of seeing things is still with me today.

What is Shamballa Reiki?

Shamballa Reiki is an energetic wellness practice that can support a moment of relaxation, presence, and self-listening.

During a session, you remain fully clothed and comfortably settled on a massage table in a quiet environment.

The practice notably uses a light touch on different areas of the body and an intuitive approach to the session.

Each session is different because each person arrives with their own state of mind, energy, and needs at that moment.

Some people arrive with a busy mind.

Others feel tension or simply need a moment away from their daily life.

I don't approach a session with the idea of having to "fix" anyone.

Rather, I create a quiet space and let the session unfold intuitively, based on the person in front of me.

To me, Reiki is an invitation to pause.

To receive.

To listen.

Then Sound Arrived

Sound entered my journey in a different way.

I became interested in vibrations and how sounds can influence our experience.

Singing bowls.

Tuning forks.

Drums.

Crystal harp.

Chimes.

Rattles.

Each instrument has its own character and its own way of creating an atmosphere.

But for me, sound therapy is not just about listening to beautiful sounds.

It is about having an experience.

An opportunity to stop doing.

To close your eyes.

To breathe.

And simply to receive.

What Happens During a Sound Therapy Session?

A sound therapy session is an individual and personalized experience.

You remain fully clothed and comfortably lying down while I use different instruments around you.

The session is guided intuitively depending on the experience I wish to create for you at that moment.

You have nothing to learn.

Nothing to achieve.

You don't need to know how to meditate.

You don't need to "empty" your mind.

You can simply listen and let yourself be carried by the sounds and vibrations.

Some people experience a deep relaxation.

Others become very aware of their body.

Some notice thoughts or emotions that arise and then drift away.

And sometimes, you don't feel anything in particular.

That is perfectly fine too.

There is no right or wrong way to experience it.

Sound Therapy and Sound Journey, What is the Difference?

I am often asked what the difference is between a sound therapy session and a sound journey.

For me, the difference lies mainly in the format and the intention.

A sound therapy session is individual and personalized. It is created around you and what you need at that specific moment.

A sound journey is a more immersive experience.

It can be experienced privately or in a group and invites you to let yourself gradually be carried by the sounds and vibrations.

You lie down.

You close your eyes.

You listen.

And you let the sounds unfold around you.

You have nothing to analyze.

You have nothing to do.

You simply live the experience.

Why Sound?

We are constantly surrounded by sounds.

Our phone rings.

Cars pass by.

People talk.

Notifications arrive.

There is almost always something demanding our attention.

A sound journey offers a different way of listening.

Instead of constantly processing information, you simply receive.

Instead of reacting, you observe.

Instead of doing, you let go.

This is one of the reasons I love working with sound so much.

It can create a bridge between the highly active world we live in and a quieter internal space.

You Don't Need to Believe in It

This is important for me to clarify.

You don't need to hold any particular spiritual belief to explore these practices.

You don't need to understand energy.

You don't need to know about the chakras.

You don't need to have meditated before.

You can simply come with curiosity.

Close your eyes.

Listen.

Observe.

And see what the experience brings you.

There is no right or wrong way to live it.

Different Practices, the Same Intention

This is what connects sound and energy to everything I offer.

Yoga brings us back to the body through movement and breath.

Meditation helps us slow down and be more present.

Reiki offers a space of quiet and energetic listening.

Sound invites us to listen and receive.

Retreats allow us to step out of our usual environment and discover these practices in a different setting.

For me, all of this ultimately comes down to something very simple:

slowing down, reconnecting, and coming back to oneself.

Sometimes, we need to move.

Sometimes, we need to rest.

Sometimes, we need silence.

And sometimes, we simply need to lie down and let ourselves be surrounded by sound.

4. Why a Retreat Shouldn't Feel Like Another To-Do List

What if a retreat wasn't about doing more?

What if, for a few days, you could simply stop?

No need to run from one activity to the other.

No need to try and make the most of every minute.

No need to feel guilty because you preferred to sleep rather than join the morning session.

Just time.

Time to breathe.

To move.

To discover.

To rest.

To laugh and share.

To do nothing.

This is the kind of retreat I want to create.

A Retreat Is a Pause, Not a Performance

We are used to organizing our lives around schedules and lists.

Meetings.

Deadlines.

Appointments.

Messages.

Sports.

Social life.

Things to achieve.

Even when we take vacations, we can end up filling every single minute.

A wellness retreat can easily become the same thing.

Waking up early.

Doing yoga.

Meditating.

Going for a walk.

Eating.

Participating in a workshop.

Doing yet another activity.

And finally going home needing a vacation from your vacation.

I don't think that is necessary.

For me, a retreat must allow us to step out of that rhythm.

There can be a schedule.

There can be beautiful experiences offered each day.

But there must also be space around all of that.

Space to choose.

To change your mind.

To do nothing.

You Don't Have to Do Everything

This is one of the most important things I want to convey through my retreats.

Nothing is mandatory.

Do you want to join the morning yoga? Come along.

Do you need to sleep in? Stay in bed.

Do you want to walk? Go for a hike.

Do you prefer to sit quietly with a coffee and enjoy the view? Do that.

Do you want to spend time with the group? Join them.

Do you need some solitude? Take it.

Your retreat doesn't have to look like anyone else's.

Because wellness is not about following the perfect schedule.

It is also about learning to listen to what you need.

Why I Mix Different Practices

Every retreat I create has its own theme, its own location, and its own pace.

But I like to offer different experiences because we don't always need the same thing.

Yoga can bring us back into the body.

Meditation can help us slow down.

Breathwork can bring us back to something as simple as our breath.

A sound journey allows us to stop and simply receive.

Nature and hikes allow us to move, breathe fresh air, and distance ourselves from the noise of daily life.

And sometimes, the most important thing is simply to rest.

The practices are there to support the experience.

They are not the whole experience.

The Location Matters Too

Where a retreat takes place is important.

I love to travel and I think changing our environment can also help us see things differently.

When we leave our daily lives, we also leave behind certain habits.

The room in which we work.

The notifications.

The same schedules.

The same responsibilities.

Being elsewhere naturally creates a pause.

And when that place is surrounded by nature, something different can happen.

We can walk.

Breathe fresh air.

Watch the light change.

Hear sounds that don't come from a phone or a computer.

Simply look at a landscape and realize that, for a few moments, nothing is asking for our attention.

The Mountains Are Not Just a Backdrop

This is particularly true for my retreats in the mountains.

The mountains are not just there because they look beautiful in photos.

They are part of the experience.

A hike in an alpine landscape can be a way to get fresh air and clear your mind.

A quiet morning facing the mountains can simply make you want to slow down.

A few days away from your usual environment can create a mental space that is sometimes hard to find in daily life.

You have nothing to force.

You simply need to be there.

Coming Alone Is Completely Possible

I also really love what happens between people during retreats.

You don't need to come with a group of friends.

You don't even need to know anyone before coming.

You can come alone.

A small group allows you to meet others naturally, without feeling like you have to be social all the time.

There is room to share and room to be alone.

Sharing a meal, laughing together, walking, chatting, or simply being surrounded by people who are also taking a break from their daily routine.

Sometimes, the unexpected connections become one of the most beautiful memories of a retreat.

A Retreat Doesn't Have to Change Your Life

I don't expect you to return from a retreat as a completely different person.

That is not the goal.

Maybe you will simply return rested.

Maybe you will discover something about yourself.

Maybe you will meet someone who becomes a friend.

Maybe you will realize that you need more space in your daily life.

Maybe you will simply spend a few days feeling lighter.

All of that is enough.

A retreat doesn't have to trigger a major transformation to have value.

Sometimes, the most beautiful gift we can give ourselves is simply to stop.

Come as You Are

You don't need to arrive already calm.

You don't need to have experience in yoga.

You don't need to be particularly spiritual.

You don't need to know exactly what you need.

You don't even need to have a goal.

Come tired.

Come curious.

Come alone.

Come with a friend.

Simply come as you are.

The retreat is not there to tell you who you should become.

It is a space to allow you to listen to yourself, away from the usual noise.

And maybe after a few days of moving, breathing, resting, discovering, and simply being present, you will leave with something very simple:

A little more space within you.

A little more connection with your body.

A calmer mind.

A deeper breath.

And maybe a better idea of your own rhythm.

Because sometimes, the best thing we can do is stop trying to make the most of every minute and simply live what is there.

5. Daily Well-being: Creating a Little More Space in Your Day

Well-being doesn't necessarily mean completely changing your life.

Sometimes, it can be something much simpler.

A few minutes without a phone.

Taking a breath before replying to a message.

Walking without listening to a podcast.

Going to bed a little earlier.

Taking the time to notice how your body actually feels.

We often think we need more time, more discipline, or a brand-new routine to feel better.

But sometimes, what we really need is simply a little more space.

Start by Noticing How You Are Doing

Before wanting to change anything, pause.

How do I feel right now?

Is my body tense?

Is my mind busy?

Am I tired?

Am I breathing fast?

Am I actually hungry, or am I simply looking for something to distract myself?

We spend so much time on autopilot that we can end up no longer listening to these quiet signals.

You don't need to solve the problem immediately.

Simply start by noticing.

That is often already a first step.

Create Small Breaks Instead of Waiting for Vacations

One thing I learned through meditation and yoga is that slowing down doesn't have to mean stopping your life completely.

We can create small breaks throughout the day.

Before opening your computer, take three breaths.

Before eating, put down your phone.

After work, take five minutes before moving on to something else.

On arriving home, sit for a few moments instead of immediately starting the next task.

These moments might seem insignificant.

But they create a small break between one thing and the next.

And sometimes, that is enough to change how you experience the rest of your day.

Your Breath Is Always There

You don't need equipment, an app, or a special room to come back to yourself.

You already have your breath.

Simply try this.

Close your eyes for a few moments.

Inhale slowly through your nose.

Then exhale gently through your mouth.

Once more.

And one last time.

Don't force the breath.

Simply observe it.

Notice what happens when your attention leaves everything else and returns to something that is always there.

Your breath.

Even a few conscious breaths can create a small transition.

Pay a Little Attention to Your Body

We spend a large part of our days in our heads.

Thinking.

Planning.

Remembering.

Worrying.

Looking for solutions.

And the body is often the last thing we listen to.

Try asking yourself regularly:

How does my body feel right now?

Maybe your shoulders are tense.

Maybe your jaw is clenched.

Maybe you have been sitting for several hours.

Or maybe you are exhausted but keep going anyway.

You don't necessarily need to do a full yoga class.

Stand up.

Stretch.

Move your shoulders a bit.

Walk a little.

Take a few deeper breaths.

The goal is not necessarily to exercise.

It is simply to come back into your body.

Create a Small Evening Ritual

The transition between work and rest can be difficult, especially when our phone goes everywhere with us.

Instead of going straight from emails and notifications to bed, you can create a small ritual that signals to your body and mind:

The day is slowing down now.

This can be very simple:

• putting your phone aside for 20 to 30 minutes
• dimming the lights
• taking a warm shower
• doing some gentle stretching
• drinking a herbal tea
• sitting quietly for five minutes
• doing a short meditation
• reading a few pages of a book

It doesn't have to be complicated.

Consistency matters more than perfection.

Learning to Do Nothing

This is perhaps one of the hardest things.

We are so used to filling empty moments.

Five minutes? We check our phone.

A free afternoon? We make plans.

A vacation? We want to see everything.

But what happens when we don't fill that space?

Sitting by a window.

Looking outside.

Walking without a podcast.

Drinking your coffee without scrolling through your phone.

Lying down for ten minutes.

Doing nothing.

At first, this might feel strange.

That is normal.

We don't need to turn every quiet moment into something useful or productive.

Move in a Way That Feels Good to You

Movement shouldn't be a punishment.

You don't need to exercise because you ate too much or because you feel guilty about yesterday.

Move because your body wants to.

Some days, it will be a Vinyasa practice.

Other days, a long walk.

Sometimes Yin Yoga.

Sometimes ten minutes of stretching.

Sometimes dancing in your living room.

And sometimes, simply resting.

Instead of always asking yourself:

"What should I do?"

Try instead:

"What does my body need today?"

The answer might surprise you.

Keep a Little Time for Yourself

It is easy to give your time to everyone else.

To work.

To family.

To friends.

To responsibilities.

To messages.

To appointments.

And then, at the end of the day, you realize there is nothing left for you.

Taking time for yourself is not selfish.

It is also a way of taking care of your relationship with yourself.

You don't need a whole day.

Even one hour a week that belongs completely to you can make a difference.

If necessary, put it in your calendar.

And treat it as something important.

Because it is.

You Don't Have to Do Everything

This is important.

Don't turn well-being into another to-do list.

You don't need to meditate every morning, do yoga five times a week, write in a journal, walk 10,000 steps, and be perfectly mindful of everything all the time.

That would be the exact opposite of what we are looking for.

Choose just one thing.

Three conscious breaths.

Putting the phone away before sleeping.

Going for a walk.

Giving yourself permission to rest.

Start there.

Then simply notice how you feel.

Well-being Is Not a Destination

For me, well-being is not about reaching a perfect state in which we are always calm, balanced, and happy.

Life doesn't work like that.

There will always be stressful days.

Uncertainties.

Moments where we lose our rhythm.

What is important, perhaps, is learning to return.

Returning to our breath.

Returning to our body.

Returning to the present moment.

Returning to ourselves.

Over and over again.

We don't necessarily need to completely change our life to feel more connected to it.

Sometimes, we just need to create a little more space inside the life we already have.

And perhaps that is where the real practice begins.
