Private, In-Person Consultations

Conducted In Vers-chez-les-Blanc, Lausanne,  Switzerland  with Karin Roten, Speech and Language Therapist

Who can benefit from these sessions?

I enjoy helping children (very young, young or older) who have learning difficulties, specially linked to language (written or spoken). Each situation is new, unique and represents a new challenge. Though the outcome is never completely predictable, many things are possible when one allows himself to think out of the “box”!

Children without learning disorders are equally welcome if they have a desire to let go of fears, bad memories or simply lack confidence in their potential.

Hyperactivity /ADHD are situations which usually respond very well to dietary changes.


What about parents?

Parents are necessary partners for any work with a child. Experience shows that results are better and quicker when at least one of the parents supports the child in his/her therapeutic work. Sharing your questions and/or worries about your child’s evolution or his problems may allow tensions to be released on both sides.

I teach you the basics of EFT with great pleasure, in two or three sessions, which is a remarkably efficient technique. You than have a very practical tool at hand which will help you immensely to deal with your emotions linked to your child’s difficulties. Good surprises guaranteed!


Which tools do I use?

In my experience I have found that it is more efficient to put together different methods even if they do not seem to belong together at first glance. Building on my training as a speech and language therapist I have searched for tools which help the child to clear his blocks in order to become receptive to learning, as well on a physical, emotional and mental level.

This is why I start with food, then follow with any limiting beliefs (I’m stupid, I can’t do it,…) and only after work on the actual learning problems.

Here are the 3 axis along which I work:

  • The diet
  • The energy techniques (EFT, Indigo mineral essences)
  • Language therapy


Food

But why talk about food and learning disabilities? More and more researches demonstrate the close link between food, brain, emotions and intellectual capacities. Our digestive system is even called: our second brain.

Lets have a closer look: would you put coke in your car? Of course not! You know well that the engine wouldn’t survive. We are no different than our cars: without the proper fuel, we do not function properly.

A very subtle alchemy happens all the way down our digestive tube. That means the health of our digestive tube is of the utmost importance for our physical, emotional and intellectual health. Traditional medicine has known that since eons. They all have in common taking great care of the intestinal functions. A healthy gut allows us to digest, absorb and make essential nutrients.

In order to be efficient, the brain needs to eat well. It needs essential fatty acids, glucose, vitamins and minerals, etc. Without a healthy digestive system, your child’s brain will not receive the appropriate nutrients.

Energy techniques

Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT):

This tool is often intensively applied at the beginning of the therapy because it allows the child to become receptive to learning. How? By helping him/her to become conscious of his limiting beliefs about his abilities; by letting go of bad memories related to his learning story; by making friends with success; by regaining self-confidence; by changing his perception around a task (boring, difficult, useless, etc.), etc.

With this technique we tap on acupuncture points situated along the meridian lines, in a precise sequence. The goal of this procedure is to allow blocked energy in relation to an event or belief, to flow freely again.

Indigo Mineral Essences

These essences have been part of my work for quite a few years already. They are made by Ann Callaghan an Irish homeopath. They have been designed for today’s children and are sparkling and mischievous!

Essences are complementary to the other techniques and they offer ongoing support in between sessions as the child chooses which essences he needs. This is a way of encouraging the child to become active in his own healing process. Moreover we trust he knows better than we do which essences suit him best. Children follow their intuition and therefore their choices are often more adequate. You are bound to be surprised by the accuracy of his choices!

Speech and language therapy

A speech therapist supports children who present language learning difficulties, either on the speech level (language delay, dysphasia, stammering, pronunciation, …) and/or reading/spelling level (dyslexia).

In case of learning challenges, I start with a few tests to evaluate the child’s abilities and difficulties around his language skills. After, I suggest ways of supporting him in his progress.

For the moment I’m only equipped with French tests, this means I cannot assess your child’s English level or reading abilities.

Through speech therapy work I aim to break complex learning material into small and reasonable steps as well as suiting the child’s learning style. Therefore, games and exercises are adapted to the child, his needs and rhythm. I do not work with only one technique but take out of my toolbox the one which seems most appropriate.

One of my main goals is that you and your child learn tools that suit you and help you in your every day life. Tools that you’ll be able to use without me.

We already are on a speech/language program but I’m interested by your approach…

I often work with parents and children who are on a language program with another therapist. In this case, we complement that work with diet, EFT and Indigo Essences.

What I don’t do anymore…
If you want only speech and language therapy without considering dietary changes and/or have a desire to work on limiting beliefs, you will be much happier with another language therapist.

Because I strongly believe we are a whole human being, I always work along these 3 axis: diet, energy methods and language therapy.
