Présence

My name is David Rochetti. I'm a sophrologist, naturopath and trainer in Évreux, France. More than two thousand sessions in my practice. The Présence mobile app is that work, put into your phone. So it can help more people than the ones who walk through my door. WHAT'S INSIDE 20 guided breathing exercises to watch. A bubble, a candle, a dandelion, waves, a campfire. You follow the rhythm with your eyes, no counting. Heart coherence breathing, 4-7-8, box breathing, or your own rhythm. The body: freeing the diaphragm, exercises lying down, shoulder pumping. A little character shows you the movement, and each exercise explains what it's for. 51 short exercises to calm your mind: come back to the present, let a thought pass, focus. The little evening routine: from 7:30 p.m., three or four minutes depending on what you need. Breathe, a little game, set the day down. And during the day, "My break", whenever you like. Gestures to set down what weighs on you: write on a stone and throw it, slip a word into a bottle, watch the snow settle. Nothing you write is saved. And also: calm games, a turtle that grows with you, dragons to hatch, nature sounds and world soundscapes, a kids' corner, and "My favorites" to find what you love in one tap. HOW IT WORKS No account to create, no password, no ads. You open it, you breathe. Almost everything you do stays on your phone and never leaves it: your settings, your journals, your progress. EVERYTHING IS OPEN FOR NOW In this Android version, all of Présence is free to use. Paid full access will come in a future update; what is free today will stay free. WHAT IT IS NOT Présence is not a medical device and does not diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any medical condition. It is a wellness and prevention tool. Sophrology and naturopathy come alongside medical care, never instead of it. If you have any doubt about your health, talk to a doctor. Don't do the exercises while driving, swimming, or in any situation that needs your attention. In a life-threatening emergency: call your local emergency number (112 in Europe, 911 in the US). If you are in distress: reach out to a helpline in your country — findahelpline.com lists them. David Rochetti — sophrologist, naturopath and trainer in Évreux, France.
