Courses
I weave the powerful relationship between moving and learning with storytelling and practical tips. As an International Faculty, I offer Educational Kinesiology/Brain GymÂŽ courses in a variety of formats from in person to online. Participants have attended from over 25 countries!
Workshops
My interactive workshops are filled with strategies to immediately integrate into existing lesson plans and activities.
Please contact me to schedule a tailored training about movement, sensory systems, literacy, art/music, Montessori and/or alternative methods of education.
Consulting
Private sessions are a wonderful way to receive one-on-one attention while working through a roadblock.
