In Person Lessons
Intensives of 4 to 8 individual sessions with your child in the same week for 1 to 3 weeks in succession
Through guided movements, conscious language, and hands-on experiences, we’ll take a playful, inventive journey activating new neural connections. You can expect your child to light up as we:
- Creatively interact with toys, textures and games tailored to their curiosities
- Gently introduce novel ways of moving to build bodily awareness
- Solve problems using their natural problem-solving abilities
- Practice transitions to develop flexibility and independence
My approach allows your child’s inherent wisdom to lead our lessons towards breakthroughs, rather than forcing them into predetermined exercises.
I offer virtual consultations to assess your child’s current situation and co-create an individualized plan of activities tailored to facilitate their development.
During our video sessions, I’ll guide you through observations of your child’s habits and movement patterns in your home environment. Together, we’ll identify opportunities to introduce enriching sensory experiences, cognitive challenges, and new physical possibilities.
- Individualized Plan: Co-create a personalized program of activities tailored to your child's specific needs and development.
