Approximately 80% of our sensory input comes through our ears and goes to both our cochlea (where it is heard) and to our vestibule (where it is processed for balance and spatial orientation).  From the vestibule the information goes to the limbic system and the amygdala which involves the Vagus nerve. 
The information also goes to the language centre, emotional centre and prefrontal cortex of the brain, so it is easy to see how this system that helps a person reach their full potential.

By retraining how the brain responds to the sensory and auditory information it receives we are very likely to improve our ability to manage emotions, increase our attention and focus, reduce our sensory overwhelm, improve our communication, enhance our speaking and singing voices and improve our energy and vitality.

The Tomatis® method was developed in the 1960's by a French ear nose and throat surgeon Dr Alfred Tomatis.  There is 60+ years of proof that the Tomatis® Method can assist a person to make significant change in many areas of their life.  It is a holistic programme so very often people make improvements in areas they weren't even expecting change to occur in.

There is a 30 day money back guarantee which means that if a person has no change within the first 30 days I will refund their investment in full.  My belief in the power of the programme is huge.

 I have personally completed the programme as have my husband and two children.  Our first experience with the program was in 2011 when our son completed a listening programme for a significant auditory processing issue and dyslexia.  He no longer struggles with dyslexia yet retains it's gifts of spatial awareness, problem solving and fortitude. 

I completed the programme in 2023 - since then I have a much greater capacity to manage my emotions and I no longer struggle with IBS. The unexpected bonus' are: car sickness has gone, much better spatial awareness and balance, improved focus and I find it much easier to listen in noisy environments like cafes.  There are many more benefits - in fact too many to list!

My husband completed his programme at the same time as me.  He reports that his concentration has improved, it is easier to follow conversations especially in noisy environments, it is easier to locate noises and he has a greater ability to express himself. 

Our daughter also completed a programme during 2024.  She reports that she is far less overwhelmed by noise and light.  Her tolerance to spicy foods and changes in temperature have greatly improved and she finds it easier to communicate what she is thinking and feeling.  Her dancing has improved too with a greater sense of spatial awareness, balance and rhythm.

The benefits are unique to each person.  No two brains are the same so no two people will have exactly the same results.

In our consultation, we'll work together to:

1. Give you an opportunity to teach me more about the issue and how it affects you to give me insight into what your struggles are.  

2. Make a plan that works for you. The plan needs to meet your level of commitment to change, availability, beliefs and budget.

3. If appropriate book a date to get started with your unique listening programme to assist you to meet your goals.

Sessions are completed at home. The client wears headphones and listens to mainly classical music which is filtered and gated.  Both are unique to the Tomatis method. A session lasts approximately one hour and twenty minutes.  Each programme is broken up into three listening blocks of 14 days between a month and two months apart.
While listening the person may read, craft, draw, walk or do light exercise, garden, housework, sit quietly and listen or even sleep.

It is important the person avoids using a device, watching TV, eating and vigorous exercise that causes sweating during their listening session.

Yes, the Tomatis® Method is generally well accepted by children.  While they listen to the music they can draw, play quietly, craft, read, do puzzles, even sleep as long as they aren't eating or looking at a screen.

The programme requires that specific headphones are purchased as well as the rental of the device which houses the music.  The price depends on the number of blocks of listening a person does - usually three or four. 

The cost is the same whether it is one person or more than one person using the system at the same time, so I encourage families to do the programme together where time allows.

The initial consultation can be done online, however the person and parent/caregiver, if applicable, I am working with will need to collect the equipment from me.

It is an at home programme, so listening is done at home and the device returned to me at the end of each intensive block of listening - usually 14 days.
