This week I'm excited to welcome Rafaele Joudry to the podcast. She has dedicated her life to helping people overcome auditory problems and enhance their lives through better ear and brain health. She pioneered the first portable Sound Therapy program after discovering how the program could benefit her mother's hearing difficulties.

As world leaders in self help Sound Therapy, the Joudrys have enabled individuals from all walks of life to benefit from unique discoveries about the ear and brain. Based on research by specialists in hearing and the development of our nervous system, Sound Therapy can improve ear function and brain integration, relieve tinnitus and hyperacusis, and has a profound effect on the way the nervous system responds to stress. Since founding Sound Therapy International in 1989, Rafaele has toured Australia, Europe & the USA to educate about the impact of sound upon our health.

Rafaele holds a Masters of Psychology specializing in Sound Therapy. She has authored dozens of articles plus three best-selling books: Sound Therapy: Music to Recharge Your Brain, Triumph Over Tinnitus and Why Aren't I Learning?

  No. Thank you so much for sharing your time. I very, very interested and intrigued to dig into your specialist topic today, which is sound therapy. But before we get into that, and first up, for all of our listeners that may not be familiar with you or your work, I'd love it if you could just tell us a little bit about yourself, please.

  About me. Well, really, I'm sound therapy. I've been doing this for 30 years. Prior to that, for a few years, I was working as a community developer and I started out in social work and community development. I grew up in England originally and then lived in Canada for eight years and came to Australia over 30 years ago. Absolutely love it. So I've been living here enjoying the beautiful East Australian coastline and this great country for 30 years and running my business, which has been a very rewarding process. I'm also very committed to the environment and environmental health generally, being healthy in this beautiful world.
