The body holds the score
Getting on my nerves!
Stressed? Anxious? Neurological pain? Chronic symptoms? Sound and listening therapy can help because of stimulation to the vagus nerve. The sound frequency vibrations can release tension to bring balance and calm.

Get moving.
Perhaps your passions lie in sport and movement? It is possible to boost performance by improving sound processing. Powerful stuff!
“Body awareness” is actually in the ear: distribution of tension in the body, cramps or slackness, muscle tone, posture, motor skills and fine motor skills are all regulated by the ear as a control organ.

So you've been told it's ADHD?
Hold on! Has anyone actually checked if there is a retained Spinal Galant reflex? It is important to work towards diagnosis by elimination and not use labels.
Because the vestibular (movement) system is part of the inner ear, it is possible to use Tomatis® sound and listening therapy to help with reflex and sensory integration.
The eyes have it.
Simple checks of the eyes can alert to a body control system that is overwhelmed.
Because the ears and eyes work together, it is possible to use sound and listening therapy to help with eye tracking problems and stress responses.
Let’s get it Right.
When ‘aiming for sounds’ one ear takes the lead (dominance). The Left ear has physiological disadvantages, such as slower processing speed due to nerve physiology.
If the Left ear leads there is an instant negative effect on the control of voice quality. The following are all signs of leading with the Left ear:
Tone of voice (harsh, flat, misinterprets others)
Rhythm (hesitancy, stuttering)
Vocal volume (too loud, too quiet)
Processing speed (think dyslexia)
Training the Right ear to take the lead (dominance) can help with many areas of language and learning.
