Thelma’s health problems
At the age of 30 Thelma married and with her fresh husbandmoved to London where their two sons were born. After five years in England theymoved back to The Netherlands where she got serious health problems. Herillness inspired her to study more about nutrition and the psychology ofillness. Through changing her own life- and eating habits she overwon alifelong battle agains eczema and asthma. She started to study Ortho MoloculairScience of Nutrition because she was interested in the relation betweennutrition and health. In the meantime, Thelma and her family moved to Germanyand after 5 years they emigrated to New Zealand.
Introduction of Colour
Within 3 weeks after arriving in New Zealand Thelma wasintroduced to the art of ‘Face Reading’. She was fascinated with this conceptthat she decided to follow the training of “Psychosomatic Therapist & BodyMind Analyst” at the Australiasian Institute of Body Mind Analysis &Psychosomatic Therapy. This training gave her the tools to do ‘Body Readings’,observing the relation between the body and symptoms and the thought patternsrelated to the symptoms. During this time Thelma was also trained in Reiki Iand II and during the training she came in contact with the colour concept “Aura-Soma”. This concept usesequilibrium bottles containing different coloured fluids made out of crystaland flower essences. Thelma was so fascinated by the wonderful Aura-Somaconcept that she decided to complete all four levels. In order to completelevel four she had to hand in a thesis and research ‘Colour’ on a deeper level.
After completing Aura-Soma Thelma followed the training for‘Reconnective Healing’ of Eric Pearl in Sydney. Level I and II: The BasicTruths & Frequencies of Healing and Level III: The Reconnection. Her clinicin Auckland was growing and she mainly worked with the Aura-Soma concept as aqualified colour therapist and if necessary she would use one of more of theother therapies.
Birth of Colour Comfort Colour Coaching
Often when Thelma introduced herself as a colour therapistshe was often mistaken for an image and style consultant. She noticed thatpeople would make a link between colour and their clothing, realising that formost people their daily colour choices is related to the clothing they chooseto wear every day. She noticed that everyone is interested to learn what theircolour choices reveal about themselves. Thelma invited all her clients andfriends for a personal interview, asking about their colour choices in clothingas well as where on the body would they wear these colours. Her knowledge aboutthe psychology of colour and her Body Readling training gave her accurate informationabout the person and the use of particular colours changed the thought patternsas well as behaviour of the clients. A new concept was born, the Colour ComfortColour Coaching.
Books
Thelma has written two books about colour and clothing. Herfirst book “Why are you wearing those colours?” reveals the emotionalsignificance of colour and her book “Dress to Impress” is a colour dictionary,explaining the message each colour is communicating as well as colourpositioning; colour on different parts of the body communicate differentmessages.
She has also written a 200-page training manual for ColourCoaches describing all aspects of colour and how to do colour consultations,presentations and workshops.
