Jan at Active Listening
Active Listening, Hawkes Bay NZ was set up and created by Jan, who searched for some tools that helped Children and Adults alike who struggle with concentration, stress, learning difficulties, audio-processing, sleep and sensory-processing conditions.
With 30+ years of teaching experience and a master's in Education Jan totally understood that by applying customised therapies that focus on audio-processing she was able to help her clients (from children to adults) to lead happier and healthier lives. Jan is a level 4 Tomatis consultant and has also offers movement and tutoring programmes. Talk to Jan today to find out the best solution for you and/ or your child
At Active Listening, we have a range of tutoring, movement, and audio-processing tools that can help with a large variety of learning and listening difficulties, based in Hastings Hawkes Bay NZ.
Movement programmes stimulate and integrate the vestibular, proprioception, tactile and visual systems all at once. They are designed to give the brain the opportunity to “rewire” the neural pathways and strengthen the foundations so academic learning becomes easier.
Tutoring can include combinations of:
Movement skills
Sensory integration
Structured literacy / phonological processing
Mathematics skills using materials
Reading
Writing
Personalized programmes that help calm the chaos, optimise brain and body connections to allow people to lead happier, healthier lives.

Adult Listening programmes
Age-related or industrial hearing loss can cause difficulties with our balance, posture, muscle tone, communication, and energy levels.
When we feel stressed or anxious the brain is often not receiving accurate information.
Signs of audio-processing difficulty include needing the T.V. on full volume, miss-hearing what our loved ones say, or getting agitated by repeated noises.
At Active Listening, we have listening programmes that can help with the following:
Hearing Loss
Stress
