Is the Tomatis® Method Right for Us?
Anyone at any age can benefit from this method. The scope of application includes but is not limited to those struggling with the following:
Attention: inability to focus in school or locations with lots of distractions or noise.
Learning difficulties due to ADD/ADHD, dyslexia, or auditory/sensory processing disorders.
Voice and language: Those struggling with singing, speaking or voice modulation.
Emotional regulation: The inability to manage one's emotions in relation to sounds or in communicating with others.
Motor skills or coordination: including poor gross or fine motor skills, posture, stamina or laterality (inability to discern left and right).
Autism and Autism Spectrum Disorder: This method has been proven to improve the listening and, thus, communication abilities of those diagnosed with autism, including non-verbal individuals.
Integration of a foreign language: Helping open the ears to frequencies in other languages, not present in English, which is often the most common issue in difficulty learning another language.
Struggles with screen time: Do you or your child struggle with too much screen time? Are you constantly battling your child over this and need a solution? This program is a proven method to help reduce you or your child’s need for screens and all the negative effects that go with it.
If you or your child have any of these concerns,
The Tomatis® Method might be right for you.
The Tomatis® Method is an educational program that uses specially filtered music and the client’s own voice as a means to improve the listening of a person whose hearing functions correctly. It works thanks to a device that causes musical contrasts by suddenly and unpredictably changing the timbre and intensity of the music. This effect will surprise the brain and trigger its attention mechanisms. We say that the brain puts itself in the listening position. Only The Tomatis® Method contains this proprietary technology. It is the first and best in this field as it re-patterns the connection between the ear, the brain, the body, and even the heart at the emotional level.

The Tomatis® Intensive Package

1 to 2 hour initial consultation and planning session
A Tomatis® listening test (this is similar to a hearing test).
A set of Tomatis® Maestro headphones
2 to 3 programs loaded into the headphones, each of which lasts approximately 14 days with breaks of 1 to 2 months in between, during which the headphones will be used for audio vocal work and shorter listening sessions.
At the end of each “break,” there will be an hour-long session with me to assess goals and plan next steps.
Overall, the whole program will take approximately 6-7 months to complete. It’s a commitment, but well worth it!
Sessions can be completed at my in-home studio, at home or in conjunction with other therapies such as speech or occupational or even during school if your school is amenable.
The Tomatis® Intensive Package - $2,800
The first step is to book a FREE consultation. Before our meeting, you’ll be asked to complete a confidential Tomatis® Evaluation Questionnaire (TEQ). This contains 140 questions with a sliding 1-10 scale, and takes about 20-30 minutes (there is both a child and adult version). Results are reviewed during our consultation. If we determine the intensive package is right for you, a contract is signed and the journey begins.
We start with a 2-hour preliminary interview ($100) to discuss concerns, review TEQ results, and conduct a 20-minute listening test if needed.
The first intensive begins:
14-day program spread over 3 weeks (5 sessions/week for 2 weeks, 4 sessions in the last week).
1-hour daily listening sessions with Maestro headphones which you the client will own after the completion of 3 intensive sessions. They will be a lifelong tool for you and your family.
Next is a 5-week consolidation period, a crucial time for the brain to properly integrate all the changes it has undergone during the intensives. It’s neuroplasticity in the brain at work! This includes:
2-3 shorter weekly sessions of listening (30 min each)
5-15 min daily audio-vocal exercises (e.g., reading aloud, singing, conversing) using the microphone attached to the headphones.
Before the next intensive, a 1-hour intermediary interview assesses progress, sets new goals, and updates the program. A new TEQ and Tomatis® Listening Test (TLT) are conducted.
In addition to this, if you’re a parent enrolling your child in this program, you’ll also receive a customized program for yourself—at no extra cost. Why do I offer this? Because you’re taking a chance on me and investing significantly in this program. I understand that most parents wouldn’t prioritize themselves over their children, especially when it comes to something like this in terms of time and cost. However, parenting a child with these challenges is tough, and parental burnout is all too real. You deserve support too!
Note: A minimum of 3 sessions is required for effective results.

Hi, I’m Mary Clare.
I am a parent and educator who has experienced and studied the Tomatis® Method for over 8 years. In both roles, I have seen and experienced myself how this incredible method of sound training can improve one’s listening abilities - resulting in resolving many physical and cognitive issues and improving one’s overall quality of life.
Now, as a certified Level 2 practitioner I am looking forward to bringing this method to parents looking for non-medical solutions for a child’s learning difficulties including ADHD, dyslexia, speech problems, emotional regulation and language integration. I serve clients of all ages from young children, teenagers, and adults who are struggling with similar issues themselves and are looking to improve their listening abilities.
FAQ

Absolutely not! This first meeting is informative only - for both of us. No money will be paid until after we have agreed to work together and a contract is signed.

A typical program includes at least 3 intensive listening sessions lasting 14 days each. Daily sessions during this intensive period will be anywhere from 40 to 60 minutes at the most, depending on the client.
Each 14 day intensive will be followed by a “break” of 5 weeks. For example, a program consisting of three 14 day intensive sessions, with 5 week breaks in between starting in the beginning of June 2025 would conclude at about the end of December.
The 14 days are intense, but the breaks are purposely long so that your brain can integrate the information and during this time the only requirement is a few minutes of daily audio vocal work with the headphones and attached microphone. Think of this as the equivalent of working with a trainer at the gym for half a year. I am like a personal trainer, but for your ears only!

Once we decide to work together and a contract is signed, there will be an initial deposit of $800 for the first session. If necessary, this will also include the TLT (Tomatis® Listening Test) and initial planning session. Payments will be made at the end of each intensive. There is a minimum requirement of three intensives in order for any progress to happen. I am also very flexible about payment plans that work for you.
The initial 2 hour assessment (not the preliminary interview) costs $100. You must sign on for a minimum of 3 listening intensives which costs $2400 ($800 per session). My hourly rate as a practitioner is $50/hour. The total cost of the program including my time is $2800.
I can absolutely work with clients for a payment plan of payment after each session or monthly payments.
