Working with babies and children~ hope, learning and transformation
Are you worried about your baby not reaching developmental milestones?
Does your baby have special needs?
How can I help?
If your child hasn't developed normal movement patterns for some reason, I can work gently with my hands to help your child to discover these motor patterns.
Early building blocks are fundamental to future movement: if these have been missed we can work together to put these patterns into your child's nervous system.
What are these early building blocks?
Well, we take them for granted.
We don't understand their significance until they're not there. . .
