LSEs, Schools,
Ed. Psychologists
Using a few minutes of specific movements in the classroom daily can immediately improve a child's ability to be able to learn with ease and confidence.
Schools
If your school is looking for an easy and cost effective way to improve learning amongst children who are struggling or failing in the classroom, I can help.
One to One Sessions
Using 15 minutes of developmental movements daily can improve any learning challenge for anyone, with lifelong results.
Child Reflexes
15 minutes of specific movements daily can improve a child's development and learning for life. I guarantee results.
Courses
I believe the specialised knowledge and experience I have to offer you in these courses will prove to be extremely valuable.
If children are struggling, or failing, in education, I offer easy and effective solutions with quick and lifelong results.
I have been working successfully with learning challenges for over 20 years. My area of knowledge and techniques are unique in Malta, and I am hoping the information here on my website will help parents, teachers, child development therapists, O.T’s and Speech and Language therapists to understand how important it is to inhibit any retained Early Years primitive reflexes with any child falling behind in school and not reaching expected developmental milestones.
My aim is to help children who are struggling or failing in education, and perhaps in life, so they have the equal opportunities to learn with ease, confidence and success.
Movement is the key to unlocking the ability to learn, and I will be delighted to demonstrate this to any school interested. Whatever is holding a child back from achieving higher grades and the results they want, can easily be improved. Developmental movements can transform their ability to be able to learn with ease, confidence and success, and they will reach their grades more quickly, I guarantee.

I teach movements in schools that are performed in the classroom, or gym, for only 15 minutes a day that provide profound improvements to learning, self-confidence, managing emotions and behaviour which leads to higher grades in end of year exam results. Teachers report they have seen amazing and quick changes in their children with improvements in Reading, Writing, Attention, Focus, Comprehension, being able to sit still for longer and many many more challenges teachers see in their classroom.
This will be one of the best and cheapest investments a school can make to help develop children and give them the resources to be able to learn for life. A world of possibilities and opportunities open up when learning becomes easy and successful. ‘I cannot’ becomes ‘I can’ that every teacher works to achieve with their students.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why are developmental movements the key to brain and sensory development?
Without movement the brain and sensory system will not fully develop, leaving the brain and sensory system immature. Using developmental movements can help make the connections that link up all areas of the brain sufficiently. The inborn movement pattern every baby is born with starts in utero during pregnancy, is important during the natural birthing process and then during the early years up to around 4 years old. If a baby misses any of the developmental movements and stages during this important time, the connections and the linking up of the brain will be poor. This is one of the main causes of learning challenges and developmental delays seen in most classrooms today. Movement is vital during the early years, especially during the first 12 months after birth as this is the time when the greatest growth of connections are made in a person’s life. ADHD can be a result of the lack of movement during this particular time of development that links up the executive functioning and ‘control’ area of the brain. This can be improved at any age with the techniques I have to offer parents, children, adults and schools.
Retained reflexes can have a negative impact on our ability to be able to learn in education, in business, in sport and generally in life. It’s to do with how well developed and connected your brain and sensory system are that enables you to have the resources necessary to be able to learn and achieve well in all areas of your life, and with less effort. Some children, and adults, find ways to compensate for their difficulties, but as the pressure becomes greater as they move up the levels of education, or in their careers, the compensations no longer support them and this is when older students or adults get diagnosed with Dyslexia or other learning challenged labels when they are doing GCSE’s or A Levels or in University or have reached their workplace but cannot manage progressing further up the career ladder.
Can something be done to help develop the connections throughout the brain?
Yes, Absolutely. It does not matter how old you are, or what learning challenge you may have, the brain and sensory system can be improved and developed using developmental movements similar to those that every baby should learn to make at any age. Of course, the earlier this is achieved, the less valuable time is lost in education. Teachers say that 70% of their time in the classroom is spent with helping children who are struggling to keep up with others who learn with ease.The signs can be clearly noticed in many classrooms. The process of changing this is simple and requires no more than 10 – 15 minutes a day of specific movements. Usually the person cannot make these movements in an exact, co-ordinated and effortless way at the beginning, but as they practice them this changes and the connections start to link up areas of the brain and learning challenges and difficulties ease away, allowing them to achieve success in any area they want.
How long it will take?
This will depend on how many reflexes are retained. On average, around 6 – 12 months, sometimes a little longer with more severe learning / developmental challenges and then the results are for life. A level of change takes place immediately after making each movement. As the person learns to make the movements exact over a 3 week period of just 10 minutes a day practice, so the level of change improves too, and the learning challenges will ease away. I guarantee results if my instruction is followed.
Below is a short 2 minute video made by a parent, Andrea Thornton. You may recognise you have the same questions about issues your child may have, and that there is an alternative drug-free and completely natural way to improve neurological connections that are life changing. If you go to Amazon.co.uk there is a 30 minute award-winning film you can buy and download very cheaply with further information and understanding about the importance of primitive reflexes. It will answer many questions you probably have as a parent or school.
