BrainMoves

 Playful Movements to Foster Focused, Well-Behaved Preschoolers

Watch as your little ones transform from restless to focused, from challenging to cooperative. BrainMoves harnesses the power of simple, fun movements to boost preschoolers' concentration, self-control, motor skills, and success.

The Struggle of Preschool Behavior

Do you feel stuck in a

  • constant loop of tantrums

  • short attention spans

  • and ignored instructions?

Whether you're a parent, teacher, or therapist, you've likely tried everything from reward charts to time-outs. But are these strategies working, or are they just wearing you out?

Most likely, you’re feeling drained and your correction methods aren’t giving your child the tools they need to fully realize their potential for learning, socializing, and growing emotionally.

The Missing Piece in Child Development

Preschoolers are meant to move. Their brains need specific types of movements to develop properly. When you ask a child with challenges to sit still and focus without using BrainMoves, you can be fighting an uphill battle.

BrainMoves recognizes that purposeful movement is key to filling in any missing links that are necessary for creating the neural synapses that support attention, emotional regulation, staying calm, and learning.

Turning Natural Energy into a Superpower

Imagine your preschoolers moving with intention, eagerly engaging in tasks, and thriving in their environment.

BrainMoves transforms their innate need for activity into a strength, laying the groundwork for success in all areas of life. By integrating these playful, brain-boosting movements into daily routines, you’ll help children process sensory information more effectively, stay calm, improve balance and coordination, and create a solid foundation for positive behavior and learning outcomes.

The BrainMoves Difference

My proven method seamlessly blends

Children adore the cartoon animal characters representing each movement, making learning feel like playtime.

The BrainMoves Course

BrainMoves is a course designed to enhance preschoolers’ focus, cooperation, and development by using fun, engaging movements that naturally align with how young minds and bodies work. With each movement, they build critical skills for life.

"Doing StartUp every morning has made mornings fun! We used to struggle to get dressed, eat breakfast, and get out of the door without a meltdown. Since we started using BrainMoves, my preschooler can easily do all her ADLs! She feels so proud of herself and her confidence has soared!"

The children pay attention, transitions are easier, faster, and quieter and the children's social skills have improved!"

"No more fights or temper tantrums. Timeouts and consequences never worked with my twins. Every day was challenging. Now my twins play together and hardly ever fight! They listen better to their dad and me and are much more cooperative!"

review

My students love the BrainMoves Movement Cards. They choose the cards showing the movements they want to do and it gives them a sense of ownership and control. The children also love the coloring pages and storybooks.

FAQs

Why have I never heard of BrainMoves?

I’ve spent the last 25 years developing this system through one-on-one work with clients and teaching teachers, occupational and physical therapists, psychotherapists, and parents. While my BrainMoves Course is new to the online world, it’s based on decades of proven research in many different areas of brain development, the physical skills needed for learning, child development, kinesiology, and psychology. It is a complete program for helping preschoolers do better, learn better and feel better. Other programs offer in-person classes of movements for school-age children but the movements are too difficult for most preschoolers to do. BrainMoves was developed specifically to meet the needs of preschoolers no matter where they are in their development.  You won’t find another program like it. I recently converted my Zoom classes into this online format to make it more accessible. Now, with BrainMoves, I’m ready to bring this powerful tool to a wider audience.

How do I know BrainMoves will work for me?

I’ve helped hundreds of people achieve their goals using the same methods taught in this course, and the feedback is consistently positive. People are amazed at how simple, yet effective the movements are, and they’re excited about the immediate results they see in their children’s focus, behavior, and engagement.

Although this system is designed for preschoolers, I use BrainMoves myself every day to manage stress, stay positive, and boost productivity. Over the years, I’ve noticed a remarkable improvement in my memory, stress reduction by 95%, and increased creativity and problem-solving abilities. It’s a powerful tool for both kids and adults!
