Frequently asked questions

How many Tomatis sessions will I or my child need?

The number of sessions varies from person to person. The most effective format is usually an intensive program consisting of three 1.5 hour listening sessions per day over 10 consecutive days.

However, every individual’s situation and schedule are different. You can learn more on the Therapy options page, or feel free to contact me so we can discuss the plan that best suits your needs.

What can I do during 1,5 hour listening session?

During the session, you are encouraged to engage in calm, non verbal activities such as puzzles, board games, creative crafts, painting, or drawing.

Reading, writing, solving math tasks, eating, drinking, speaking, or using devices with screens such as tablets or phones is not recommended, as these activities may interfere with the therapeutic process.

Should I bring my own materials for activities during the listening sessions?

There is a wide selection of puzzles, board games, drawing and painting supplies, and toys available for both children and adults.
