Specialist Film Company “Launches” New DVD Recommended As Autism Therapy Aid

TRURO, U.K. - July 2, 2013 - PRLog -- Watch the drama of new born cynets taking their first swim with proud parents, young seals playing in the surf, or the timelessness of traditional wooden sailing boats making their way serenely upriver. These are some of the scenes from new DVD Calmer by the Water, which travels from a woodland spring to the sea on a journey of quiet wonders and close encounters that will entrance and relax.

Calmer by the Water is the third film by CEO Barry Wheelock who, after a period of severe stress in his own life, began to film rare moments in nature. This kindled a passion for wildlife that has enabled him to help others suffering from stress, sensory problems and particularly autism spectrum disorders.

“I highly recommend Calmer By Nature for all ages, whether you’re dealing with autism in your family or just want some stress relief” says Debi Taylor, Autism Research Specialist, author and speaker. “We still love the DVD and CD and use it frequently”.

The DVDs offer a positive and therapeutic effect from simply observing nature, leading to mindfulness and sensory awareness. This is particularly appreciated by the parents of autistic children who find it calms anxiety, re-directs over stimulation, and creates ‘time out’:
“Many people I know have found these DVD's extremely useful as a calming and coping strategy, I have taken these DVD's on some of the talks that I give on autism all over the country “ says Steve McGuiness, trustee of the National Autistic Society.

Predictable and safe, the films are also a key therapy aid used by healthcare professionals across a range of specialisations, including sensory therapy, autism, ADHD and CBT.
"Calmer By Nature offers a great therapeutic resource, a tool ... to help clients with a range of different presentations - from use as a self soothe strategy, to enabling assessment of children in care, to facilitating reminiscence. Something that can be used in so many different ways, especially when access to the great 'green gym' of the healing outdoors is restricted." says Kath Smith, award winning occupational therapist and Director of the Sensory Integration Network (UK and Ireland).

The new DVD, Calmer by the Water, features footage of the waterfront and its wildlife.
“I’ve captured magical footage of river scenes of the years.” says Barry, who shot some of the DVD from onboard his own classic boat “and the water has a wilderness quality which provides an easy escape.”

Calmer by the Water is available now from www.calmerbynature.com  as a DVD. A sample clip of the new DVD can be seen at  http://www.calmerbynature.com/products.html

About Calmer by Nature
Would you like to escape to the soothing world of nature whenever you feel the need? This was what prompted the founding of Calmer by Nature by Barry Wheelock in 2007. Although based in rural Cornwall, all the DVDs and the CD were recorded across southern England, including Warwickshire, Gloucestershire and Hampshire.


The recordings and footage contain no people, voiceovers or music so the audience can be soothed by the sights and sounds of nature uninterrupted. These precious and relaxing moments in the wild are appreciated by those with dementia, or the elderly who can’t, or don’t want to listen or follow a plot. The films are used and recommended by healthcare professionals around the world as a therapy to aid stress, autism, dementia, ADHD, sensory problems, depression, tinnitus, insomnia and special needs. Their appeal and value has also been recognised in the national press, with the films recommended for use everywhere from hospitals to business lobbies to airport lounges.
