Tomatis® Practitioner Level 2

Tomatis® Maestro Certified

I started my career as a Dental Therapist in schools, mostly with high school students. I noticed a pattern in that many of the “naughty” kids seemed to struggle with big emotions and found it hard to cope in class. Witnessing their struggles with anger, shame, isolation and hopelessness has stayed with me.

Now, as a Life Coach and Hypnotherapist, I work with adults facing a wide range of life challenges.  It often feels like déjà vu – with the adults I work with now also struggling with the burden of big emotions, overwhelm and feeling lost.  My clients often have relationship difficulties, experience dissatisfaction in life for a variety of reasons, and just can’t seem to find their way.

Becoming a Tomatis® Method practitioner has gifted me another option for my clients.

Unlike coaching or hypnotherapy, which require active effort, the Tomatis® Method simply involves listening. This makes it a fantastic option for people feeling overwhelmed and under resourced in managing life’s challenges.

Why I work with Tomatis® Method

It is no secret that the ears are the superhighway to the nervous system. In the Tomatis® Method the ear involves the: bones and muscles of the ear, the vestibule, the motor component of the ear, which is connected to the amygdala and Vagus nerve via the limbic system, and the cochlea, the hearing part of the ear.

The vestibule, cochlea, bones and muscles of the ear work together synergistically to provide us with unique and varying degrees of the ability to maintain our balance, posture, spatial awareness, emotional regulation, attention, focus, planning, prioritising and many other functions. This is where the Tomatis® Method can stimulate neural changes facilitating harmony in our nervous system, improvements in emotional regulation and resilience, spatial awareness, posture, balance, sensory perception, executive functions and communication.

The thing I appreciate most about the Tomatis® Method is that it’s natural, non-invasive, and harnesses the power of neuroplasticity – meaning the changes are deep and long-lasting. All you do is listen to music through headphones while you read, engage in a quiet activity, relax, or even daydream. Effort is minimised to remembering to wear the headphones on the designated days for the length of time required for the music to play.

My belief in the Tomatis® Method is behind my 30 day money back guarantee.  If my client does not experience any benefit within the first 30 days I will happily refund their money.

In my line of work I often encounter people who struggle with their emotions, lack resilience and perseverance and are unable to maintain attention and focus in their daily tasks to complete their goals.

I use the Tomatis® Method to help clients struggling with:
– Anxiety
– Emotional regulation
– Overthinking
– Overwhelm
– Resilience
– Focus and Attention
– Communication issues

Experiencing the results myself

My husband, children and I have all experienced the Tomatis® Method.  We were introduced to the method 13 years ago when our son aged 8 years was struggling emotionally, socially and academically at school due to an underlying auditory processing issue that was significantly impacting his life despite his ability to hear.  The improvements he experienced were profound and led us to provide the same auditory education for our daughter who was 10 years of age at the time.  She lacked confidence and was easily emotionally overwhelmed. They are now confident young adults with a huge capacity for managing the inevitable stresses of life, they are emotionally resilient, have both tolerance and perseverance and a fantastic ability to communicate with others.

In recent years the program’s positive impact extended to my husband and me when we both completed a programme. We each experienced profound cognitive, emotional, and physical improvements.  The programme has blessed us both with greater resilience, fortitude, wellbeing and happiness. Most notably for me the anxiety and poor emotional regulation that has plagued me for most of my life has now diminished leaving me to enjoy my life. I am more resilient to life’s inevitable challenges, less impulsive and have a greater ability to communicate.

This journey has profoundly enriched our family, fostering greater connection, resilience, and happiness in our relationships both with others and within our home.
