I began using Brain Gym® in my own Waldorf classroom in 1983. Now, through thousands of hours of training in all levels of Educational Kinesiology, including promotion to U.S. team leadership in the Masgutova Method. I am National Faculty for Brain Gym International and I am qualified to teach the EduK In-depth: 7 Dimensions of Intelligence course.

When I teach, I draw on years of experiences and study in child and human development and reflex integration. Brain Gym learning activities and the Masgutova Method are useful for people of all ages.  
(REFERENCES AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST).  My most recent training sessions were for OTs, PTs and STs at Region 20 Educational Service Center in San Antonio and First Presbyterian Church pre-K also in San Antonio, the Austin chapter of the Texas Occupational Therapy Association of Texas, and for Killeen ISD P.E. teachers.

Carla Hannaford's best-selling book, Smart Moves: Why Learning is Not All iin Your Head on the physiclogical basis for Brain Gym® is probably the best-known reference for Educational Kinesiology, more popularly known as Brain Gym.
