| About Thelma van der Werff
|
 Colour Comfort is founded by Thelma van der Werff: a chartered colour therapist, creator of the Colour Comfort Method, International Speaker and author of two successful books “Why are you wearing those Colours” and “ Dress to impress. Colour Comfort is based on a desire to share with you exactly how you can understand your colour choices and make conscious changes wherever you want in order to empower yourself and fulfil your full potential.
Thelma’s mission and vision is to make the powerful and effective tool of colour available to everyone in a practical and easy manner. She wants to give people the option to use colour pro-actively every day in order to influence emotions, behaviour and thought patterns. As Thelma states: it does not take years of in-depth probing to find out how to clear old thought patterns and become more confident, creative, inspired or focused... she believes the answer is as close as an investigation into your wardrobe. A balanced use of colour will stimulate and support the uniqueness of every human being, allowing you to live up to you own full potential.
When Thelma starts talking about the language of colour, many are impressed to see that colour can actually reveal so much about them. With her passion and empathy and her deep desire to see somebody tap into potential that they were never aware of she has developed a non-intrusive and easy method to apply the power of colour on a daily basis. This method is called “The Colour Comfort Method” and is unique anywhere in the world. The Colour Comfort method is the art of translating the language of colour to reveal hidden talents and potential, identify and re-program unwanted behaviour, influence thought patterns and feelings and using the language of colour to get your message across to others. The Colour Comfort method is using colour to feel better and as a result you will look better!
Thelma is very passionate about sharing her Colour Comfort method; this has resulted in hundreds of people around the world being infected by this passion. Her clients and coaches alike have been astounded by the profound effects of this method; many couldn’t believe how a simple translation of colour choices could give so much clarity and insight about themselves and others.
 Today, her Colour Comfort method is used by many practitioners around the world. It is available through personal consultations by Thelma and her team of coaches , her two books and the unique Colour Comfort Course curriculum.
Read on to learn about Thelma’s personal journey that resulted in the birth and success of Colour Comfort.
At some point in her life, Thelma started to have some health challenges. These inspired her to study more about nutrition and balanced life styles. Through changing her own life- and eating habits she overcame a lifelong battle against eczema and asthma. She started to study Ortho Molecular Science of Nutrition because she was interested in the relation between nutrition and health.
Thelma was also introduced to the art of ‘Face Reading’. She was so fascinated with this concept that she decided to follow the training of “Psychosomatic Therapist & Body Mind Analyst” at the Australasian 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 patterns related to the symptoms.
During this time Thelma was also trained in Reiki I and II and during the training she came in contact with the colour concept “Aura-Soma”. This concept uses equilibrium bottles containing different coloured fluids made out of crystal and flower essences. Thelma was interested to learn more about colour and decided to complete all four levels of the “Aura-Soma” training. In order to complete level four she had to hand in a thesis and research ‘Colour’ at a deeper level.
To add to her already impressive learning curriculum, Thelma followed the training for ‘Reconnective Healing’ of Eric Pearl in Sydney. Level I and II: The Basic Truths & Frequencies of Healing and Level III: The Reconnection. Her clinic in Auckland was growing and she mainly worked with the Aura-Soma concept as a qualified colour therapist and if necessary she would use one or more of the other therapies.
Birth of Colour Comfort Method
Thelma noticed that many people around her were interested to learn what their colour choices reveal about themselves. So Thelma invited all her clients and friends for a personal interview, asking about their colour choices in clothing as well as where on the body they would wear these colours. Her extensive knowledge about colour and her Body Reading training gave her accurate information about the person and how the use of particular colours can influence the thought patterns as well as the behaviour of the clients. Through further research she developed a unique new concept:the Colour Comfort Method.
Thelma has spent her entire life to find a way to help people and during the last 10 years she has incorporated a life time worths of study and experiences to bring to you the Colour Comfort Method, a simple and easy way to translate the language of colour, for everyone, every day.
Thelma’s client base ranges from teenagers, wellness practitioners, business men and woman, nobility, pensioners and spiritual teachers. As Thelma says: “Colour does not discriminate!”
