About Elena

Elena Povolachi – Sophrologist specializing in stress management and corporate performance (sophrologueboulogne.fr)

With 15 years of experience in IT project management in large corporations, I have concrete and in-depth knowledge of the dynamics and challenges of the business world. This experience allows me today to offer support adapted to the realities of teamwork, performance objectives, and employee well-being.

My goal: to offer concrete and effective solutions to improve the mental and emotional well-being of teams, while meeting the company's performance objectives.

🎯 My interventions help to:

- Strengthen team cohesion and engagement
- Prevent psychosocial risks
- Reduce absenteeism and promote return to work
- Improve concentration, mental clarity, and productivity
- Establish sustainable well-being habits in the workplace

I design tailor-made workshops and programs, adapted to the needs of your teams, with a concrete, pragmatic, and accessible approach for everyone.

Examples of interventions:

✅ Individual or group sessions
A moment of relaxation during the lunch break to allow everyone to refocus, release tension, and return more serene.

✅ Thematic workshops/tailor-made conferences:
Example themes: Managing emotions and stress, Improving sleep for better productivity, Concentrating in a noisy environment (open-space),
Regaining balance between professional and personal life, Relieving musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) through sophrology,
Mentally preparing for a new challenge (new role, relocation, merger…)

All workshops are customizable according to your company culture, your HR challenges, or your key events (seminars, QVT, Health Week…).

✨ Simple, concrete tools that are immediately applicable for lasting results.

    HOSPITALITY
    May 2025 - May 2025
    Paris, France
    Conferences & individual support – Theme: Sleep & irregular schedules

    As part of a health prevention initiative, a Parisian palace hotel engaged my expertise to support its employees – facing demanding schedules, irregular hours, and high expectations – on the topic of sleep and recovery.

    🎤 Two intervention components:

    Interactive conferences on sleep mechanisms, the impact of stress, and best practices for maintaining restorative sleep despite specific professional constraints.

    Individual appointments: personalized advice and implementation of practical tools from sophrology and NLP (breathing, sleep routine, micro-naps, managing rumination…).

    💡 Approach:

    A benevolent posture, respecting the pace and on-site realities of employees.
    A confidential space for listening and support, to help each person leave with simple, adapted tools for their daily lives.

    This assignment consolidated my expertise in supporting professionals subject to atypical working hours and an intense work environment.

  • NEOSILVER
    Facilitation of prevention workshops
    HEALTH AND WELLNESS
    October 2024 - Today (1 year and 10 months)
    Paris, France
    As part of the PRIF health prevention program, I facilitated several workshop cycles for seniors, in collaboration with Neosilver. These workshops, organized in small groups, aimed to promote the well-being, autonomy, and quality of life of participants during their transition to retirement.

    🎯 Objectives of the facilitated cycles:

    Memory: Understanding how memory works, discovering memorization techniques, stimulating cognitive abilities in a supportive and dynamic environment.

    Sleep: Identifying age-related sleep disorders, experimenting with concrete tools to regain quality sleep.

    Welcome to retirement: Supporting future and new retirees in this new life stage, by fostering self-esteem, social connection, and planning for new projects.

    💡 Highlights of the support:

    A strong ability to adapt to the varied needs, rhythms, and expectations of the senior audience, who may face personal, health, or isolation challenges.

    Active and attentive listening to create a climate of trust and respect, facilitating communication and exchange among participants.

    A benevolent and participatory approach, promoting the recognition of each person's skills and encouraging motivation to act for their well-being.

    These interventions were praised for their content, which was both accessible and stimulating, as well as for the human quality of the support, essential in relating to an audience seeking meaning and balance at this stage of life.
