I am so happy to meet families who have children they want to have help for their speech. I prefer to work with them from 7 years and up. Many high school students love to come and help develop spoken presentations for projects and as they wish to work in school plays. Many who are challenged by the need to self express in class can be really helped by coming to me in afterschool classes. If you have student who would benefit from therapeutic or creative speaking classes get in touch at robyn@wellspoken.co.nz

Today, I had the privilege of meeting Robyn, the inspiring founder of Well Spoken. Robyn’s journey is a testament to her lifelong passion for speech, drama, and helping others find their voice.
Robyn’s story began in New Zealand, where she trained as a State Teacher before venturing to the UK to deepen her studies. Her time there was marked by an intense love for the arts, particularly speech and drama. Robyn attended every play she possibly could, riding through the streets on her motor bike. Arriving at theaters in a stunning dress, she embodied elegance and excitement. As the curtain fell, she’d morph back into her biking gear—helmet and gloves on, ready to go on her next adventure.
Her academic pursuits included a two-year Postgraduate Diploma in Waldorf Education at Emerson College and a four-year Postgraduate Diploma in Speech and Drama at the London School of Speech Formation. These qualifications laid the foundation for Robyn’s unique approach to teaching communication skills.
Today, at Well Spoken, Robyn weaves her expertise into helping clients master public speaking, storytelling, and presentation skills. Whether you’re preparing for a business presentation, seeking to boost confidence, or supporting a child with learning challenges, Robyn’s warm and encouraging style makes every session transformative.
Robyn is also a certified Level 2 Tomatis Sound Therapy practitioner, specializing in auditory-based therapies for children and adults. Her work with individuals facing challenges such as ADHD, auditory processing disorders, and learning disabilities has led to profound improvements in communication and confidence.
What sets Robyn apart is her ability to make communication an art form. She helps clients not only polish their delivery but also uncover the joy of authentic self-expression. Her love for storytelling shines through in her coaching, inspiring clients to captivate audiences with clarity and poise.
As Robyn looks to the future of Well Spoken, she remains committed to helping more people unlock their potential and connect with others through the power of effective communication. With her deep passion and expertise, Robyn’s work is shaping confident voices and unforgettable stories.

Music and singing give you "cortical recharge" (a term sprung from Dr. Alfred Tomatis). Your brain transforms the vibrational stimulation from music and singing into energy that lifts your spirits, boosts levels of oxytocin, helps control stress and anxiety, and improves learning.

With a listening dysfunction, the brain doesn't function as it should. If a Tomatis® Listening Test shows there is such a problem your Tomatis® Practitioner can address it with the Tomatis® Method auditory retraining. Most practitioners offer home programmes.

Our physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being can all be positively influenced by certain types of sounds.

Dr. Alfred Tomatis was one of the first to study how sound affects the body.

Sounds that we perceive as "sacred" are beneficial for us and can help us achieve optimal health by stimulating our neuro-sensory system, which is responsible for processing all information about our environment and helping us make sense of it.

This means that when we listen to sacred music or chant, our brains are able to process information more clearly and efficiently.

The Tomatis® Method, a neurosensory program and educational intervention, uses classical music—Mozart, Gregorian Chant played over a special headphone and player.

The filtered music stimulates parts of the ear responsible for transmitting information to the brain. This auditory stimulation retrains the brain and re-patterns the nervous system, which leads to improvement in physical, cognitive, and interpersonal skills and emotional regulation.

The Tomatis® Method stimulates auditory processing, and improves balance, and coordination by retraining the ear and brain.
