Judy Herbert Studio.

Judy brings to her Centre 30 years of experience as a movement teacher, principally of the Pilates, Gyrotonic and Essential Somatics Methods.

The application of the Tomatis Method to these disciplines deepens and enriches the outcome of her classes, so that the overall result is a unique, holistic development of the whole person. Use of the Tomatis programmes – including the audio-vocal work –  as part of the class brings a level of stimulation, development and enrichment that builds upon our good muscular-skeletal bodywork.

Many of us experience levels of stress and trauma that impact us on a physical level, and which talking therapies alone, might no resolve. Use of the Tomatis Method Bone Conduction Kit during a session can soften the holding patterns generated that are binding our muscles, joints and diaphragm. Breathing, releasing muscle tension, finding an upright posture where we can hear and see well – these things become more accessible to us as overall holistic balance becomes restored.

The anxiety of ‘doing it right’ lowers. As the parts of our brain that are involved with rhythm, timing and placement are stimulated, we begin to achieve movement sequences with a clarity and perception that were hitherto out of our range.
