Body Synergy
Work with Children on Easy Mode!
Everyone has heard the terms body language and non-verbal communication, but what do they even mean, what's important AND how does it look for adults and children? Educators, teachers and parents alike all use their bodies and body language to support children all day, so let's talk about it.
As a parent or educator have you ever been around someone who is working with children and just thought to yourself “Wow, what magic does that person have? Those children don’t respond to me like that”?
If you have, you’re not alone, and oh boy is this the course for you.
That effect might seem like natural talent or a calm way of being but it’s not something you can’t learn, you absolutely can, and we can teach you.
The kinds of people out there who can not only manage power struggles, but eliminate them completely are out in the world enjoying their time with children, arriving home less tired, more fulfilled and are seamlessly able to relate to children with confidence instead of fighting their way through a day.
So if you’re keen to get more quality time with children, less headaches and more joy, not just for you but for your tiny humans too, come spend a day with us to flip the switch and relate to children on easy mode. It really is that easy, we promise.
What is Body Synergy?
A model and a course that Monique and Cass have developed and tested together. Comprising of 4 key areas:
Elevation
Situation
Environment
Respect
This is a course that we have developed to specifically support you in learning how your body positioning, both within environments and in relation to children, can affect education opportunities, outcomes and relationships.
By the end of the course you will have invaluable tools to help you with connection and attunement with children in your care.
Is Body Synergy for educators?
Yes, absolutely!

This workshop runs for 6.5 hours, unlike most styles of professional development this is an embodied course as opposed to content delivery. In the Workshop you will gain valuable insights, play and explore the model. This gives you the ability to go back into your environment with children with new ways of interacting and playing instead of losing it as soon as you walk out of our training room.

We have mostly used and tested Body Synergy with ages 1-5, that said, the learnings from this course are easily transferable and usable in relating with older children, even teenagers, so we do recommend coming along if those are the age ranges that you connect with.
