INFANT DEVELOPMENT MOVEMENT EDUCATOR

Florence is a Registered Educator of the Infant Development Movement Program, an approach developed by Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen and the School for Body-Mind Centering® to facilitate healthy perceptual and movement developments. Florence offers Being with the infant and their caregiver to support holistic relationships.

Safety, Comfort, Bonding, & Curiosity

Those are the four pillars of child development and growth. Caregivers offer an environment and opportunities for the young child to experience themself, in relationship with others and in space.

Handling & Play

The infant initially relies on a caregiver, to be held, picked up, layed down, and positioned on this earth, those are the first contacts and relationships the child experiences. Child led play may shape their learning process, integrating sensory experiences and perceptions while building volition, resilience and independence.

Individual & Group Sessions

Florence offers Somatic Movement Education group classes and private sessions in and around the Mid-Hudson Valley Upstate NY and upon request.
