Noeline Levinson, a Sound therapist using the Tomatis Method

Published: Feb. 26, 2009, midnight

b'Noeline Levinson is a Sound therapist recently from South Africa, who uses a technique called the Tomatis method and uses the music of Mozart at various frequencies to stimulate different parts of the ear and thereby stimulating different parts of the brain. Noeline has worked mostly with children who have learning and behavioural challenges and feels it is important to work with a team of practitioners. Depending on what is causing the child stress, different modalities are chosen to assist in the process. The focus looks at emotional and physical trauma, chemical toxicity (pollution), nutrition, immunization and dehydration. This sound therapy addresses any maturational delays and prepares the brain for learning. We all know that we respond to music, and through the ages music has been there to soothe us, invigorate us, motivate us and generally to enhance our emotional state. This method of sound therapy is very profound, it not only stimulates the brain, but every organ and cell in the body receives the music. It has an affect on our emotional, physical and spiritual self. www.family-focus.co.nz'
