Discover the Tomatis® Method
My son is now initiating conversations, and is much more outgoing and aware of his surroundings. I feel energized and I am really enjoying my Italian lessons. I feel that working with you has been the most effective help we have received- for both of us!

The Tomatis Program is both powerful and immediate- providing results that you cannot miss. I had the great good fortune to work with Jaya Godwin through three intensives to most assist me in reducing the prominence of my tinnitus to an almost unnoticeable level, and to help me realize my dream of being able to finally hear notes distinctly and sing with precision.

My daughter's teacher reports that her reading skills are improving, and she is now able to focus much better and follow instructions in class!

The TOMATIS Method
Tomatis® is a neurosensory stimulation program for all ages that improves motor, emotional, and cognitive abilities through a unique technology that modifies music and voice.
In the Tomatis® Method, the concept of LISTENING has a motor, an emotional, and an attentional aspect.
Listening is the ability to efficiently use one's auditory attention in order to learn and communicate, while keeping adapted emotional self-regulation.
Listening is also the ability to efficiently use the motor part of the ear to assist and improve balance, muscle tone, and coordination in order to locate one's self in the world and act upon it.
Listening is behavioral and embodied hearing!
