These difficulties are primarily caused by incomplete infant developmental patterns. The methods and activities in these workshops work to eliminate the underlying causes through a combination of joyful, spontaneous play, integrative movement, repatternings, heart activities, as well as developmental/rocking movement. Dramatic changes nearly always take place with breathtaking speed and obvious improvement. Let yourself imagine and experience the certainty that these problems, labelled strenuous and unalterable by the mainstream society, can be immediately and beautifully transformed forever. The results parents and therapists have noticed in children with this work have been astonishing. ADD and ADHD: A Breakthrough Solution Learn powerful activities that effectively eliminate the symptoms of ADD and ADHD. Through natural, joyful play, developmental/rocking movement and repatternings, you will assist children and adults in completing two early movement patterns directly related to fidgety, impulsive, disorganized behavior as well as listless, unfocused, lethargic tendencies. Quickly learn how to effectively address the underlying causes of ADD and ADHD in ways that are empowering, joyful and effective. Birthing/Bonding: A Completion For optimum emotional and physical health for life, the initial bonding between mother and baby immediately after birth is absolutely essential. It is remarkable how often this vital moment is undermined and left incomplete, even among mothers who assume they have fully bonded with their newborns. Only later as a child grows do the signs of birth trauma and inadequate bonding begin to show up as chronic fear held in the body. Learn practical and powerful ways to complete the birthing/bonding process at any age, even when one's own parents are not available. Profound and permanent, soul-deep healing occurs each time a person gets to complete the ideal experience that was missed during their birth and bonding process. A release of original birth and post-birth trauma generates significant, life-altering benefits for children and adults, while forever healing inter-generational disconnections. Dissolving Sensory Overload Due to pregnancy and post birth trauma as well as the fragmentation of key infant, survival patterns, sensory difficulties in children have begun to proliferate. Untreated, these over-sensitivities lead to emotional and physical problems. Learn specific skills and activities that get to the core of sensory overload for permanent healing. Sensitivity to light, sound, touch, smell, texture, and temperature are actually symptoms of incomplete infant patterns that can be completed speedily through a variety of joyful play and developmental movements. Transforming Dyslexia Dyslexia need not be a permanent condition. Its symptoms reflect disconnected brain patterns that can be positively altered through specific movements. Learn effective skills that will help anyone at any age become a good reader. Learn to use cross lateral and eye-tracking movement, repatternings and rocking movement to build the neural pathways deep within the brain for skilled reading. These methods and activities to reverse dyslexia are effective with groups as well as individual children. Healing the Autistic Child A vital training for those who interact with autistic children. Create a paradigm shift by learning new, positive skills and approaches that get to the core of autism, whose causes relate to birth/bonding trauma, incomplete survival patterns, body toxicity and fragmentary parental connection. Through interactive games, stories, integrative movement, music, rocking/ developmental movement and heart activities, assist autistic children in reaching their full potential. This course will give you the confidence and skills to truly make a difference with autistic children. Clearing the Field When our energy field holds the effects of trauma and fearful emotions, it is difficult to open our heart and receive the life experience of joy and love. In a safe, loving environment, you will be given a practical, effective self-healing process that will assist you in healing your heart, reclaiming your personal power and consciously manifesting what you desire. Through the power of awareness, intention, integrative movement, dance, sound, and color, you will move forward on a journey of powerful release and self-love. You will learn how to become an effective participant creator in your life.
