Experience

Sherborne developmental movement
Apr 1977 - nowA fully inclusive methodology of working with people from 0-90+ based on Rudolf Laban's 'Theory of Human Movement' that invites disability into its practice. This holistic practice encourages a deep awareness of self and others, based on the notion that human beings have two basic needs: To feel at home with themselves and comfortable in their own bodies and to be able to make relationships with each other. It addresses many human issues, including spirituality, well-being, mind/body cohesion, self-esteem, self-worth, confidence, relationships, emotional/psychological/physical difficulties, the attachment relationship between mother and child and team building.
