Tomatis® Consultant Level 4; BEd;
PGDip Special education; MEd

After teaching for over 30 years and completing a Master in Education Jan still questioned why some children found learning really challenging. When she began teaching children with special education needs she also discovered Neuroscience and the many underlying skills needed for academic learning.

Jan’s fascination with Neuroscience grew and she began to investigate developmental approaches to learning that explained how the brain actually learns and therapies to permanently change how a child learns and experiences life. Jan has completed training in Extra Lesson therapy and continues to train in reflex integration and sensory integration programmes to make huge changes in a child’s body and brain connections.

Why I work with Tomatis®

I work with Tomatis® because after many years of working with students who have learning difficulties I wanted to offer families a different, developmentally appropriate and drug free approach that actually makes positive changes to improve learning and well-being.

After many years working with children I am now aslo enjoying working with adults who have anxiety, hearing loss and audio-processing difficulties. It’s really exciting to see the amazing changes that occur.
