It’s time
your life
felt as good
as it looks.
You have everything one
could dream of, and yet…
You still struggle to feel like you truly belong.
Your mood often shift dramatically — sometimes within moments.
Your relationships often feel complicated, or rarely fulfilling.
You experience your emotions so intensely that it can become painful.
You sometimes act impulsively — in your relationships, around food, or with money.
On the outside, everything works.
On the inside, something doesn’t.
And yet…
You do your best to maintain a healthy lifestyle, yet it never seems to be enough.
You follow personal growth, positive psychology, or life coaching accounts on social media, but they don’t really help when things get tough.
You practice — or have practiced — meditation, yoga, sophrology, hypnosis, EFT, and many other techniques, yet nothing has brought the deep and lasting change you long for.
Despite all your effort,
and all the energy you’ve invested,
you still don’t feel any better.
And the worst part of it is…
You already know about Polyvagal Theory — the revolution everyone in the coaching world is talking about, said to be the key to resolving every kind of struggle — emotional, physical, or relational.
You’ve spent hundreds of euros on a nervous system regulation program where you did learn a lot, but deep down, nothing really changed.
You’ve even invested in IFS, TRE, or Somatic Experiencing sessions to be guided through the process, yet somehow, you still feel the same pain, face the same challenges, and live with the same inner instability.
In short, at this point, there’s really only one question left in your mind:
“What’s wrong with me?”
“Why can everyone else do it — except me?”
(Well… technically, that’s two questions.)
Goodness !
There’s nothing wrong with you.
The truth is, nervous system regulation only addresses part of the problem.
Yes — if you experience emotional instability, chaotic moods, anxiety, relationship challenges, or impulsivity, it’s very likely that your nervous system is indeed dysregulated. That’s what many leading experts in neuroscience and trauma agree on today — Stephen Porges, Bessel van der Kolk, Daniel Siegel, Gabor Maté, Jan Winhall, Peter Levine, Larry Heller, Deb Dana… to name just a few.
However, none of these experts reduce the healing process to nervous system regulation alone. Today, the personal development and coaching world has embraced this concept — with the benefit of spreading it widely and helping hundreds of thousands of people take responsibility for their well-being… but also with the drawback of reinforcing the belief that nervous system regulation is a cure-all for absolutely everything — from Gaston’s gingivitis to Janine’s business struggles.
While the concept of nervous system regulation absolutely deserves our full attention, it isn’t enough to solve all our problems.
If we’re aiming for deep and lasting transformation, nervous system regulation must be integrated into a more advanced approach — one informed by an understanding of the adaptive strategies that accompany and sustain dysregulation.
Regulating your nervous system without addressing the strategies that drive you into dysregulation is a bit like constantly draining your bathwater because it feels too hot, without ever turning off the hot tap. Sure, you can stabilize the temperature — but at what cost? And is it sustainable over time?
Excerpt from a program by Coralie Gueneau focused on nervous system regulation and trauma — for those of you who speak French
Just imagine…
Feeling good and at home within yourself.
Trusting yourself, and the future ahead.
Experiencing a more stable, balanced mood.
Navigating your emotions with more gentleness and serenity.
Cultivating authentic, meaningful relationships with those around you.
All of this is possible.
Including for you.
How ?
By choosing an approach that goes beyond nervous system regulation — one that helps you transform the adaptive strategies that once keep you safe, but now keep you from fully living.

“[Before meeting Coralie], I was burned out. I felt intense anxiety every single day and was extremely dissociated, which made it impossible for me to connect with myself or with the people close to me. I felt helpless and was convinced that I would never be able to change my emotional experience. I felt lost, and I was deeply afraid that I would have to live with this anxiety for the rest of my life.I first had ten sessions with psychiatrists, psychologists, psychoanalysts, and hypnotherapists. I either felt judged, misunderstood, or had the impression that a rigid therapeutic framework was being imposed on me without anyone truly seeing me. I genuinely believed that therapy would never work for me.
[Today], I no longer feel anxiety. Which is extraordinary. I am connected to my emotions and to what is happening inside me. I have regained a great deal of vitality and self-confidence. I am able to connect more easily with others. [My difficulties] are now largely behind me — I feel free and at peace with myself.
Coralie knows how to create a relationship that is kind, light, welcoming, and positive. From the very first session, she had a profound impact on my mental health. She never judges, she always supports, and she creates an extremely safe space in which any subject can be explored. She has a very broad and up-to-date theoretical knowledge, which she continuously deepens through reading and ongoing training. She also has an intuition and a precision in her work that are a true gift — you never leave a session feeling that something essential was missed.
I have complete trust in Coralie, whose level of support is exceptional. She changed my life in a way no therapist had ever been able to before.
Thank you for my mental health, which is now worlds away from where it was a year ago.”
Coralie’s note: Kevin is the one who changed his life — I simply supported him in doing so.

It’s been a year since I began working with Coralie. When we met, I was in a deep depression and had been seeing a psychiatrist for a year. I had also tried CBT sessions with two different psychologists — my first-ever psychiatric and psychological support at fifty years old. I quickly plateaued in CBT, and at times even felt retraumatized — I share this without judgment, simply as part of my experience. Through my own research, I had the opportunity to begin working with Coralie, and from that moment, I felt a new kind of safety — a 2.0 version of therapeutic support, offering a higher level of skill, humanity, respect, and kindness. Coralie’s approach combines psychological, scientific, systemic, and somatic knowledge, along with a solid foundation in complex trauma. It’s an integrative, person-centered approach rather than a fixed methodology. With discernment and confidence, I can now recommend Coralie’s work to my own patients — because I am a physician.

I’m so deeply grateful for Coralie’s work — the results have far exceeded my expectations. In just six months, I’ve achieved goals I once thought impossible. I’ve seen major improvements in trauma-related symptoms: dissociation, insecurity, loneliness, emotional dependency, self-esteem, procrastination, chronic inflammation, compulsive eating, and chronic fatigue. I wasn’t expecting such deep and rapid change — she’s by far the most skilled therapist I’ve ever worked with.

Being in Coralie's space has been such a powerful personal growth experience for me. Since day one, she has always met me with love, sometimes the tough form when needed, and a sense of clarity through honesty that is unrivalled. Part of the medicine I experience through Coralie is that there is nothing that can remain hidden due to her intense compassionate curiosity and intuitive enquiry. This mirroring has allowed me to be truly honest with myself and acknowledge what isn't working as well as what is under-celebrated about myself and in my life more broadly. She is a fierce advocate of me and for me, and invites me to step into a space of self advocacy by being a stand for who I am and what I represent in the world. She sees how powerful I am and continues to invite me back to that when I forget. Always with love. Always with space. I am forever grateful for what Coralie has brought into my life.

Coralie creates a wonderful supportive safe space to allow you to open up without intimidation. She is a generous coach, a great listener, and an ally who will champion your highs and hold you in your lows as she gently guides your self exploration. Working with Coralie has helped me to discover and befriend parts of myself that deserve to have a voice and to be heard, and with her own unique wisdom has given understanding on how to work with feelings and emotions and integrate them with love and compassion. Coralie is a true healer.

I've experienced a deeper connection with myself and what I really want. I realised how unsafe I'd been feeling and I was making decisions from a place of fear. Our sessions helped me navigate towards what feel safe in my body and identify ways to maintain this sense of safety moving forward. This was a revelation for me. Many areas of my life have significantly changed as a result of this new understanding of myself. I cannot thank you enough.

Working with Coralie has been a breath of fresh air. I’ve felt completely free to be myself — supported, inspired, and encouraged to become the most authentic expression of who I am. I wholeheartedly recommend working with her!

I would just like to add a huge thank you for the work you are doing as a coach. You create such a beautiful space for exploration and coming home to one's self. I felt safe, held and heard during our sessions. Words cannot truly describe the energy you bring but all I can say is it feels deeply nourishing and nurturing. I very much look forward future sessions with you.

You're so great at what you do Coralie. I can't even begin to explain this fully. It feels natural and as if the way you holds space comes straight from your heart. I admire your capacity to sit in such a self-less way when you are coaching. Zero agenda. Warmth, love, fire, presence.

By the way…
You might be wondering who I am — and what my background looks like.
Well, I’ve spent the past fifteen years studying human beings and the dynamics that shape them, ten years training in various approaches to health and well-being, thirty-five years loving Bleu d’Auvergne — and probably just as many years despising bell peppers.
I chose to train in trauma resolution and somatic work outside the French university system, recognizing in it a certain institutional violence — a structure that, in itself, perpetuates trauma.
I’m therefore neither a psychologist nor a physician.
That said, I fully and unequivocally acknowledge that some situations absolutely require medical support.
Ideally, I believe in creating synergy between medical care and trauma resolution work — informed by a deep, nuanced understanding of trauma mechanisms, which can only be truly grasped when we consider trauma in all its dimensions, within the system in which it occurs.
I’ve worked at the Institut du PsychoTrauma Paris, and now at the Cabinet Médical de l’Étoile, where I collaborate with psychiatrists who refer certain clients to me to support them in resolving and integrating their traumatic experiences — and in regulating their nervous systems.
These individuals now enjoy a significantly improved and lasting quality of life: a more stable mood, emotions they can navigate with ease, better impulse control, deeper relationships, and a renewed sense of joy and purpose.
During my training, I first explored cognitive-behavioral therapies, but quickly realized their limits. When trauma is present, the biophysiological mechanisms that drive cognition and behavior are altered — and true change only happens when we work with both the body and the nervous system.
I then trained in Somatic Experiencing, a gentle and respectful approach inspired by observing animals in the wild. Why don’t they develop post-traumatic stress symptoms, even though they constantly face life-threatening danger? By answering that question, Dr. Peter Levine created the Somatic Experiencing approach — a natural and effective path toward trauma resolution.
Alongside this, I trained in life coaching, complex trauma, and attachment-related issues, through the NeuroAffective Relational Model — NARM — developed by Dr Larry Heller.
I also integrate non-invasive neurotechnologies that directly support autonomic and central nervous system regulation — including the Rest and Restore Protocol and the Safe and Sound Protocol, both developed by Dr. Stephen Porges.
