Your Instructor Joanne Inder Educational Kinesiology has been a journey that has supported, extended, enriched and empowered me personally. I love working within the safe structure of Educational Kinesiology to access the subtlety, insights and shifts that occur in this work and to meet my clients where they are at, we go on a journey together to somewhere better – increased function, insight, awareness, empowerment to access their potential fully and integrate these shifts into their lives. I love teaching this work, and adapting it to be relevant, understood and accessible to participants. I recently completed a 10 week series “Intentional Movement with Your Brain in Mind”, here in Dunedin, where we worked with material from Brain Gym 101 with Brain Injury Otago members.
