Student Learning

Speech-Language-Learning Difficulties

Working as a Speech Pathologist for many years in primary and secondary schools, I saw first-hand how stress and negative emotions, thoughts and beliefs can cloud a student’s ability to learn and prevent them from accessing their full capacities.

Stress impacts cognitive functions such as memory, mood and emotional regulation, attention span, planning and self-organisation, self-control, empathy, problem solving and decision making, motivation, learning, coordination and performance, confidence, self-esteem, and more. When our kids’ brains are preoccupied processing stressful feelings and beliefs such as “I can’t do maths!” their brains reinforce the unwanted behaviours and limit them from accessing the neural pathways necessary to reach their full potential.

Combining the most cutting-edge therapies with my qualifications in Speech Pathology I offer families an alternative, holistic, fast-solutions approach to addressing the root-causes of speech, language, learning, fluency and literacy difficulties. This innovative approach is transforming therapy for students of all ages.

High Performance Teens

The pressures of Year 11 + 12 place our children under enormous stress, and in 2021 they will again have the unusual circumstances of striving for excellence amid a global pandemic.

I combine my skills in mineral balancing, whole food supplementation, neuropsychotherapy, health + life coaching, and counselling to provide students with a way to mange their stress, and optimise their wellbeing, health, happiness, academic and sporting performance, during what can otherwise be a challenging few years.

These sessions are designed to take teens out of stress and back into a state of calm and balance. Sessions focus on improving:

sleep
nutrition
mineral balance + supplementation
emotional regulation and stress management
relationships
confidence
health + wellbeing
academic, art and sporting performance.

Learning difficulties beyond stress:

There are many reasons in addition to emotional and mental wellbeing that can create learning difficulties for children and if your sense is that your child’s learning difficulties are beyond the daily stresses of life I encourage you to check out CyberScan Biofeedback, The Root Cause Protocol and Omni Wellness’ Learning Difficulties Program, to learn how to approach learning and wellness from the inside out.

Learning Difficulties Program

Case Study: Anxiety about Maths

“Milla has always excelled at school in every subject and is two years ahead in English but she had a block with maths. Every time she had to do homework she would say her stomach felt unwell. Sally did one session with her and we’ve never heard her complain since. She now doesn’t have to be asked to do her maths homework and her grades are starting to pick up again. We’re not sure why she had this block but Milla now says the ‘yucky’ feeling has gone and she feels ‘ok’ about doing maths. I’m glad we were able to address it so quickly and easily”.

– Louise O’Donohue, Ballarat

Some of the therapies used with children and teens

BrainWorking Recursive Therapy (BWRT)

BWRT sessions are a fast and effective visualisation technique which allows children to enjoy the magic of changing their thoughts and reactions to particular issues. BWRT stands for BrainWorking Recursive Therapy which is a highly effective therapy technique which allows children to replace their unwanted responses with new preferred ones using visualisation and imagination techniques. As the children make their own choices for preferred responses they take control of their own mind and feel empowered to change their behaviours. The sessions are completely conscious and the results become stronger in the days after the session. We work on children’s own memories of the issue affecting them and so they are completely in control of the session. BWRT is suitable for children from 5 years old.

MAP Coaching

MAP clears subconscious blocks easily, safely, gently and super fast! Using the latest research in neuroscience, the MAP Method allows children to find negative unconscious blocks and then neutralise the ‘unwanted’ traumas, beliefs, negative thoughts and emotions, including sabotaging patterns, within minutes.

This means that children don’t have to know, remember the origin, or understand why they even have a block. Using the guidance provided in a MAP session, kids can easily and safely release the inner blocks limiting them from achieving true happiness and success in school and life. MAP is suitable for all ages.

CyberScan Biofeedback

Omni Wellness offers CyberScan Biofeedback to increase the efficiency of your child’s natural healing process and learning capacity. This state-of-the-art biofeedback device uses ‘Frequency Therapy’ to bring balance to the whole body, not just the separate parts, and provides a solution that doesn’t require invasive treatments or prescriptive medication.

Frequency therapy is a natural, safe and effective way to improve wellbeing, reduce stress, improve sleep, enhance focus and improve learning and performance.

Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT)

EFT is a tapping technique that combines ancient Chinese acupressure with modern psychology to release stress, trauma and negative emotions from the mind, body and heart. This therapy helps children to process and then release negative emotions. It also allows children to feel heard and validated. When we don’t acknowledge our feelings or emotions, they tend to stay stuck in our bodies. Over time, they have the potential to manifest into physical or mental symptoms impacting learning, behaviour and wellbeing.

EFT is suitable for children from 5 years old.

Yoga Nidra Guided Meditation

Yoga nidra is a deeply restorative guided meditation that leads children into deep levels of relaxation through a range of body, breath and awareness techniques. This is a lying down meditation that is designed to balance the body’s sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems, stimulating deep restoration, relaxation and rejuvenation.

Each session is created with a personalised meditation script to address the child’s individual requirements. Children are provided with an audio recording of their mediation to listen to at home. Children will need to listen to this regularly after the session to get the maximum benefit from the treatment. Yoga Nidra meditation is suitable for all ages.

Brain Gym

Brain Gym, Educational Kinesiology or Movement Therapy is a series of movements, done with intention and designed to ‘wake-up’ the brain or to stimulate brain function. Its focus is improved learning and mental organisation. The idea is that these are simple exercises that anyone can do at home, work or school and they are effectively used with children to improve their learning ability.

In children using these exercises there is often noticeable improvement in memory, concentration, listening, reading, writing, spelling, relationships and communication, and physical coordination. The aim is to strengthen the connections between left and right brain activity, strengthen neural pathways and stimulate specific areas of the brain and improve coordination. When our brains work better our whole body works better and we have an increased sense of wellbeing and capacity for learning.
