Feldenkrais® for Children with Special Needs
Feldenkrais for børn med særlige behov i København — sessioner på engelsk.
Hi, I’m Avigail, a certified Feldenkrais practitioner and Assistant Trainer working with adults and children since 2018.
My approach with children is gentle, attentive, and grounded in deep respect for each family’s unique story and needs.
Over the years I’ve had the privilege to work with many children with a wide range of needs. Each one has taught me something about curiosity, patience, and the many ways learning can unfold.
By working with small, manageable steps in a quiet environment, I establish a clear non-verbal dialogue with the child, helping them recognize and refine their own innate abilities.
This personalized learning creates a foundation of safety, curiosity, and comfort, allowing the child to build stable, lifelong skills.
Seeing the Potential
Through a quiet, attentive dialogue of movement and touch, I meet your child exactly where they are.
In this safe, non-judgmental space, new possibilities can emerge and unfold at their own natural pace.
Together, we listen to and discover their individual path toward greater ease, confidence, and the joy of self-discovery.
Individual sessions are designed for both your child and you as parents, creating a shared learning experience that bridges studio practice into daily life.
To support your child's progress, parts of the sessions are filmed and shared with you, along with tailored guidance for home practice.
When helpful, online follow-up sessions can also be arranged between in-person meetings.
A Gentle Path to Developmental Breakthroughs
Functional Integration (FI) with children is a hands-on, one-on-one session where the practitioner communicates through sensitive touch and movement.
The work is designed to help the child:
-
Expand Their Repertoire: Introduce subtle movement options that were previously unknown or unavailable, enriching their motor skills.
-
Enhance Functional Integration: Improve the dialogue between different areas of the body, creating a more cohesive sense of self and more organized movement.
-
Support Holistic Development: Movement is the foundation of learning, these physical discoveries often lead to breakthroughs in cognitive function, emotional regulation, and social interaction.
