Maggie Hall, OTR/L
"This course offers some of the most valuable tools and activities for children and adults that I have ever seen since I started practicing OT! I have seen these movements make powerful changes in my clients and help unlock and improve their motor skills, emotional regulation, cognitive functioning and self-esteem!"
Heather DuBose, parent
"I am so thankful for this course and all these wonderful tools that have been added to my "toolbox" for parenting, coaching my kids through life and giving them the best possible foundations for succeeding not only in school, but also for succeeding in life — being and becoming all that they were created to be, the best and truest versions of themselves."
B. Peterson, parent
"Maggie my [10-year-old] daughter is now able to concentrate longer, is less likely to get frustrated, and she is more willing to take on challenges."
Andrea Levinger, OT
"I loved the class and am using the information a great deal. I think it's incredibly helpful, and you delivered it in such a clear, practical and effective way. Many thanks!"
Ashley Strasser, PT
“This course was laid out perfectly to allow me time to digest and understand each concept/section. I am able to implement the information and techniques into my practice with confidence.”
Colleen L., parent
"I wanted to share with you how amazing this year in school has been for my 14 year old son. We have been pretty consistent with the movement exercises and some integration of specific reflexes. He is doing well in almost all of his subjects and it has become so much easier for him."
Sylvia Lambourg, Educator
“This is an informative, practical course. Well worth the investment.”
Melody Edwards, Pediatric Physical Therapist
"During my 30 years as a Pediatric Physical Therapist, I have seldom been impressed to write a review. I have applied the tools in my practice and all of my clients have benefitted to a significant degree. I highly recommend the Brain and Sensory Foundations course."
Tammy Drysdale, Physiotherapist and Biodynamic Craniosacral therapist
“An incredible course — it’s truly been the missing link in my practice, helping me offer so much more to children with sensory, behavioural, and developmental challenges.”
Alison N., parent
"The Brain and Sensory Foundations online class was so great. The knowledge gained in these sessions is so rich and yet so "user friendly". Being totally new to this work I found the information presented easy to follow, especially with the guidebook. I was so happy to find that I could put most of the things learned in this class to use with myself, my kids, and friends right away. Thank you Sonia!"
Chris Baker, OTR/L
“I learned about reflexes in OT school: what the reflex patterns are and how they function. This course brought my knowledge to a whole new level, including why the reflexes are there to begin with, what the effects can be if left unintegrated, and how/when to effectively check, stimulate, and integrate them in practical, creative, and engaging ways. In the school setting, these tools help me feel less like a glorified aide/tutor, and more like the therapist I want to be!”
H. S., Occupational Therapist
"I had one of my patients [8-years-old] begin doing the rhythmic movements 6 weeks ago…He has already made greater gains with balance, coordination, sensory processing, impulse control, and frustration tolerance than he has with OT, PT, medications and consulting in his school over the past 2+ years and it has only been 6 weeks. Amazing!!"
Elaine DeFreitas, PT, DPT
“The information in this course has so many applications for myself, my children with their own body needs, as well as my students as a school based physical therapist. The information is very accessible and presented in a very useable way.”
Stephanie Riley, OT (26 years)
"The explanation of the primitive reflexes is the best I've ever heard, and the integration activities are the most comprehensive I've seen in any course that I have attended."
Edana Gentry, OTR/L
"I appreciate the depth and breadth of the course and the wealth of knowledge of the creator, Sonia, it has been well-worth it for me, personally and professionally. The rhythmic movements, unlike many therapy techniques are accessible and "transferable" to most engaged children and families, Sonia is sensitive the need to provide enough support and guidelines to students to make the work practical beyond the level of a mechanical technique and into a reliable method to transform the lives of others."
