Toddlers

The continuous changes and needs of young, growing children provide us with both delight and challenge. Toddlers may develop at wildly different rates in each arena of their little lives. We can sort out what is going on inside their little minds and bodies. Early intervention incorporating developmental movement and mindfulness can change the course of a child’s life.

Help all arenas of development

Support your child’s health and wellness. Know the primary activities you can offer your toddler for learning readiness and emotional balance.  Get help for developmental delay with early intervention, the most effective approach.

Health and wellness

Many health issues of early childhood can be resolved with gentle, non-invasive methods. Young children who suffer from earaches, trouble sleeping, chronic health problems and those who are listless or who are tense can find relief with craniosacral, myofascial and integrative developmental therapies.

Learning readiness

A young child learns first through movement, relationship, touch and each of his senses. In the early years, natural movements form your child’s emerging mind. Through primary developmental movements your child prepares for preschool and school by setting in place his ABC’s of learning readiness:

A – attention

B – balance

C – coordination

These movement ABCs are crucial pre-academic skills for a child’s growing brain. As your child does simple, specific moves, she activates neural pathways that organize her brain for early learning and for reading, writing and math. Developmental movements bring these all together in playful activity.

Emotional balance

Balance in movement forms neural networks for emotional balance. Anxiety is a marker of poor physical and emotional balance. Along with a close relationship with you, developmental movements create a secure sense of self. Build resilience for your child to meet the complicated,  unpredictable world of other people and the uncertainties of everyday life.

Developmental delay

Developmental movement therapy

Nurture your child’s natural intelligence and emerging sense of self through playful, intentional activities. The somatic approach of developmental movement therapy best fits the entwined development of body and mind during early childhood.

Along with hands-on therapy,  parents receive a tailored home program to help your child fulfill his intrinsic development.

Craniosacral & myofascial therapy

The light touch of craniosacral and myofascial therapy resolve compression forces of birth that may cause problems with breastfeeding, colic, sleep, uneven features and tension. Craniosacral therapy during early childhood reduces risks of ear infections and other long term health impacts of cranial misalignment. Parents can learn a home program for daily care.
