NIAMH LYONS

Niamh Lyons is from Dublin, Ireland.  She lived 16 years in Geneva, Switzerland where she worked for the International Labour Organization agency of the United Nations.

While undertaking various treatments for chronic pain caused by a car accident, Niamh (pronounced Neev) tried Sophrology. After only one Sophrology session, she enrolled in the diploma course! Within a couple of months of daily practice, her pain was gone.  

“The pain-relief was welcome, but it was my mindset that had really changed during this period.  I realized I was constantly rushing about my day and causing undue stress to myself.  I am now able to go about my day without being in a constant state of tension.  I have changed so much in my life, for the better, since discovering Sophrology.  I got rid of unnecessary worry. I use Sophrology techniques daily to de-stress and bring a state of calm to my mind and body.  This method is easy and has helped me feel happier and contented within. More importantly, it has given me the tools to be able to deal with the daily obstacles and challenges.  I am teaching adults as well as kids as young as six years old these techniques and they are applying them successfully!"

Niamh made a complete turnaround in her working life to become a dedicated practitioner in Sophrology. She graduated in 2011 at the Energy Centre in Switzerland, the first English speaking Sophrology School, which is recognized by the Swiss Therapist Association (ASCA) and the International Federation of Sophrologists.

Testimonial:
“Niamh has a gentle voice, providing a very soothing space, for the participant to be at ease throughout the session. I could have listened to her voice all day.”

Niamh studied Sophrology with one of the founding members of the International Sophrology Federation and is one of a very small handful of Certified Sophrologists teaching Sophrology in the United States.
