RESEARCHER
Ms. Davis authored "The Davis Addendum® to the Tomatis
Effect", which includes 2 additional scientific laws building upon Dr.
Alfred Tomatis' early work that the voice produces what the ear hears.
50 years after Dr. Tomatis' work, Ms. Davis found that the ear also
emits the same stressed frequencies of the voice and that when
complementary or supplementary frequencies are introduced to the ear,
the voice regains coherence. Her work demonstrates that there is a
"Cycle of Sound®" in how the body absorbs and emits sound and that
the body is balanced when the process is stabilized.
Ms. Davis has also researched the effect of the acoustic reflex
muscle on hearing and sound processing, and written about the pre- and
post- results of a number of the sound-based therapies.
EDUCATOR
Ms. Davis is an international speaker on sound-based therapies. She also hosts workshops at The Davis Center. For additional information contact info@thedaviscenter.com.

Music without words means leaving behind the mind. And leaving behind the mind is meditation.
Meditation returns you to the source. And the source of all is sound. — Kabir
