WHY WORK WITH DEVELOPMENTAL MOVEMENT?
How we learn to move in our first years of life creates patterns that can shape lifelong experiences of learning. Each previous stage underlies and supports each successive stage. Skipping and interruptions in our basic movement patterns, reflexes, and the integration of our senses can lead to alignment/movement problems, imbalances within the body systems, problems in perception, sequencing, organization, memory and creativity. Human development is not a linear process. Playing with developmental movement at any age can help our integration and ease of movement in the world.
WHAT IS BODY-MIND CENTERING®?
Body-Mind Centering® is an embodied exploration of anatomy, physiology, kinesiology and the interrelationship of the body-mind.
This technique works with the body systems (cellular, skeletal, ligamentous, muscular, organ, fluid, neuroendocrine, fascial, fat, skin); how they contribute to movement, how they evolved in the developmental process, and the role they play in the expression of mind. It is an interchange between practitioner and client about awareness, balance, and action in your daily life.
“I just wanted to take a moment to express my profound gratitude for our session yesterday. You bestowed so many gifts: love and acceptance, a new way of being in my body, new insights into blockages and a renewed sense of hope for the future. Your skill for reading the messages that my body has so desperately trying to send me and for presenting them to me in a way that I could finally hear is truly remarkable. Thank you thank you thank you!!!”
“Kim is a bodyworker and movement expert who inspires trust the moment you meet her. She has a direct yet accepting way of looking you in the eye, being present with you. Her hands are comforting as she does bodywork to release tension and help you feel connected to your body in a deep way. She is also skilled in using her hands and words to suggest other possibilities for what to pay attention to when moving, so that it feels lighter and easier to do. Her confidence in the wisdom of the body, her own and yours, is palpable.”
