Brain Gym® is a movement-based learning readiness program developed by Paul and Gail Dennsion in the late 1970’s.
It is a widely and internationally recognised program. It has been successfully changing lives for decades – it is suitable for all ages and abilities.
‘The 26’- movements are relatively easy to do are designed as an anywhere, anytime style of intervention.
Our brains are capable of plasticity, so new neural connections can be made. The Brain Gym® program helps to create the pathways through movement. This then improves brain access, the flow of information between the brain and the rest of the body.
Key aspects of learning are: to be happy and productive.
This is certainly not the experience of many learners especially ones who experience learning difficulties and or have disability diagnoses that affect cognitive functioning.
BrainGym is Movement-Based learning
Participants are always invited never forced – to enjoy the benefits of movement
BrainGym can be a joyful process of self-discovery – no matter what age you are
We are all learners and we all deserve to live our best life

TODAY INFORMATION AND SENSORY OVERLOAD IS A REALITY
It’s easy to feel and sense overwhelm and of course, stressed
Our bodies constantly send the brain messages through the senses
Movement done with intention improves the neural network of brain/body connection
BrainGym uses lengthening activities to release tension;
Energy exercises to centre the person and their thoughts
Midline movements for two sides of the brain – aiding thinking/processing skills
BrainGym in it’s essence supports balanced healthy thoughts, emotions and enables actions

And Most of all – improved Self Esteem
PLEASE BOOK IN AND WE CAN START THE JOURNEY.IT MAY TAKE A COUPLE OF SESSIONS OR 10 TO MEET GOALS – BUT YOU WILL SEE A DIFFERENCE. YOU/YOUR CHILD IS ALWAYS PART OF THE LEARNING PROCESS WHICH IS EMPOWERING
What to expect in a 1:1 Session ?
In Person in Pambula.
Adults – You may sit or lie on a massage table fully clothed at all times.
Children – with adult present – we explore, play and recreate patterns of learning together.
Much of the time Sensory Integration Techniques and Tools will be used too
We set a goal or intention to let the brain know where what we are aiming for
(the brain loves direction)
1. Passive – may be ‘consultant hands-on’ techniques that help with energy flow or re-education of muscles’ OR
2. Active – includes movements/actions that are guided and monitored as part of an educational learning process – the brain is resetablishing pathways assosciated with a new goal or intention
Recommend Easy home play activities to further integrate the new learning patterns
People feel calmer and mor relaxed with a greater sense of clarity and calm 🙂
What people say
I just wanted to thankyou for bringing Brain Gym into my life 
I used it today before having to sit an oral assessment and it worked a treat. I was calm, focused and able to listen and answer so much better than I thought possible.
