A Bit About Me
I am Lesley Ann Penistone, an educational neurodevelopmental movement therapist, based just outside Woking.
With two children in my family circle, one was born with anxiety and the other, who had difficulties in birth, was later diagnosed with dyspraxia.
It was hard to understand how two very clever children struggled. Help was very limited. I found Rhythmic Movement Training. It helped them both.
The movements took a few minutes each day and were so easy to do. Within a few months, we noticed what an impact the therapy had made on their lives.
This was the start of my journey to becoming a registered therapist in RMTi.
My passion is to stop the overwhelm in your life, or yours and your child’s life.
I have been there, I empathise with you, and now can share what changed our lives with you.
Methods
Rhythmic Movement Training International
RMTi is a movement based, primitive reflex integration programme that uses developmental movements, gentle isometric pressure and self-awareness to rebuild the foundations necessary to help overcome learning, sensory, emotional and behavioural challenges in children and adults.
Musgutova Neurosensorimotor Reflex Integration
Challenging reflex patterns, identifying ones that need to integrate and creating a plan whereby the integrating process can begin, thereby helping the client to overcome learning, sensory, emotional and behavioural challenges.
Exercise and Sound in Education
Aimed at children at nursery and in the early years at school. A simple set of exercises and suggested music for listening designed as a guide to a child’s stage of neurophysiological development, allowing children to use the movements necessary for the body and brain to reach readiness for learning.
Vital for those who have missed early stages of development or have regressed for various reasons. Also providing an early indication of difficulties and helping prevent later learning and behaviour problems.
Bal-A-Vis-X
Balance-Auditory-Visual-Exercise
Bal-A-Vis-X is a carefully modulated system that can become increasingly complex or increasingly simplified/modified for those with severe special needs. Requiring thousands of midline crossings in three dimensions, exercises are steadily rhythmic with a pronounced auditory foundation. Each is executed at a pace that naturally results from proper physical techniques.
Brain Gym
An educational movement-based programme which uses simple movements to integrate the whole brain, senses and body. Brain Gym can be used to improve a wide range of learning, attention and behaviour skills.
