The Tomatis® Method, which utilizes music and one’s own voice, retrains the ear and brain for better sound processing. Between the improved technology and top level training from those who worked directly with Dr. Tomatis, I now have even more in depth knowledge of the method and access to the best equipment and experts in this field. As a Level 2 practitioner of the Tomatis® Method, I am also part of a network of thousands of professionals in 75 countries. And I look forward to bringing this method to even more people in my area and beyond. 

I have experience in a variety of roles in education including: parent volunteer coordinator, school Board member, Administrative and Admissions assistant at an elementary school, teacher’s aide and founding team member of a local private high school. Working at smaller schools has given me the unique opportunity to see and take on a variety of roles. I also successfully navigated the admissions process of preschool in New York city - no small feat! Therefore, I am well familiar with ins and outs of school operations and how challenging it can be to find the right one for your child.

And as a parent of a child who successfully underwent years of occupational therapy at a young age, I’m experienced and well versed in the language and practices of this profession. I am very comfortable speaking with other educators and therapists. As a parent and educator myself, I understand what they do and how important their work is for, children especially. I am not a certified a therapist or advocate of any one type of schooling. I’m simply a mother and an educator who knows that sometimes, you just need someone to listen.
