The Solisten Company
Solisten LLC is a wholly owned subsidiary of Tomatis Developpement SA. For almost 60 years, Dr. Alfred A. Tomatis created, provided, taught, trained, and developed his program of sound training and auditory integration.
Today, there are over 400 centers in 39 countries servicing many different markets with the Tomatis® Method. Clients come to centers to improve their auditory processing and change their lives; they come to learn a second or third language; and they come to improve their memories and feel less anxious.
Therapists who have worked with Dr. Tomatis’ program express that they provide new ways of being for their clients and show them an easier way to live while opening doors for them to listen and learn.
Tomatis Developpement SA is the continued expansion of the global Tomatis work and is a collaborative effort that includes Thierry Gaujarengues, Christian Tomatis until his death and now his wife, Sophie Tomatis, in his place, and others with a keen interest in Dr. Tomatis’ work.
Thierry Gaujarengues as President continues to lead the company into the 21st Century. He recognizes the increasing need for a non-invasive solution to many presenting human problems and realizes Dr. Tomatis’ work is a viable and effective solution for many people.
