I'm Josephine, a British-trained Occupational Therapist based in the South of France, with over 25 years of experience supporting adults and children through change, illness, and life’s everyday challenges.Occupational Therapy is about more than managing symptoms — it’s about finding clarity, autonomy, and balance in everyday life. My approach is collaborative, creative, and always tailored to you. Together, we explore what supports your wellbeing—physically, emotionally, and mentally—and build practical tools to help you feel more grounded and resourced.Wellbeing Ateliers refers to the therapeutic sessions and personalised programs that help you reconnect with what matters most, through meaningful activity, mindful presence, and strategies that fit real life.Because how we spend our moments shapes how we live our lives.Click the play button to meet me.

Mindfulness
Mindfulness is a core part of my occupational therapy practice — a powerful way to meet life’s challenges with greater calm, clarity, and resilience. A regulated nervous system is a key to health and mindfulness is one of the most efficient and long lasting ways of developing this skill.Mindfulness in Practice
Learn simple breath and body-based tools to ease overwhelm, build emotional balance, and reconnect with what truly matters. These sessions are grounded in Compassion Focused Therapy and support long-term wellbeing — not just in moments of stillness, but in everyday life.Why Learn with a Clinician?
Mindfulness may seem simple — but it can stir deep emotional currents. As a trauma-informed occupational therapist, I offer a safe, supportive, and personalised space where you can explore these practices gently, with care and clinical insight.Join the group (see below) or work with me individually.Tailored Package ideal for specific health needs: €520 — 3-month plan with 6 sessions and personalised supportTry a past meditation series for free via video or audio below.
