Lifelong Learning
With over 30 years of experience in the field of Somatic Therapy and Education, I am still moved and inspired by the capacity of learning we have at all ages, from newborn babies to children with special needs, to adulthood and old age.
Learning Through Experience
Meeting children who were given no perspective, and seeing them waking up to movement and touch, is each time a little wonder.
From Safety to Curiosity
To create a safe environment opens curiosity and the possibility to take in new information, It is like turning the learning switch on. It is quite amazing when it happens.
Comfort and Play
When a child feels comfortable, he can relate and enjoy being in contact with others, and learning is enhanced.
Neuro-Plasticity
The brain’s capacity to change and adapt to new situations is astaundung. Gentle movement and touch experiences greatly enhance neuro-plasticity.
Learning Together
Family members are invited to participate. This greatly enhances the child’s feeling of safty and opens new possiblities to learn.
Rest and Activity
Slowing down, pausing and resting, as well as accelerating, jumping and screaming are essential elements of the learning process.
Supporting Parents and Caregivers
The people taking care of others need support, too. Finding ways to do things in a restfull way is often the key to learn to cope better.
Connection is the Key
Supporting each other, laughing (and sometimes crying) together, enjoying movement, touch and the voice.
