Hello all , I am repeating the info on Bal A Vis X trainings here as some parents might not find it under the health heading where I also posted it.
Re Bal A Vis X trainings,
If you have or you know children wanting/needing help to address reading/writing/attention challenges(commonly referred to as "
", "ADD", "dyslexia", "dyspraxia", "aspergers" , "autism" and many other such names used to describe different behaviours and learning styles), please feel free to inquire about the Bal A Vis X training schedules. I am a NZ registered teacher and I trained with Bill Hubert in this fun and very effective method of working towards coherence and optimal natural development in youngsters .
These exercises are highly effective in increasing all children's holistic development with emphasise on the visual, auditive, rhythmic and balance aspects.
Trainings are held in small groups, initially one on one and gradually up to groups of 4 children. Can be done at student's home if there is an absolutely flat hard levelled smooth floor area available or at my practice situated on Dovedale Av.
To know more about research and the benefits of Bal A Vis X training, please see the following links

If you or your friends are looking for a very effective and really fun way to move forward with a challenged youngster (or any youngster for that matter.. who ever said life was a never ending piece of cake :0) ??? ), please feel free to contact me on 021734420 or E mail me at ourplacejuanita@hotmail.com .

Especially after the amazing job Paparoa did nurturing and keeping safe our own two girls, for 9 years including throughout the unsettling earthquake times. Not only did they keep them safe at all times they turned them into smart confidant learners who are now excelling at intermediate and high school. Its now our turn to give back to them. Maybe also a reminder thinking about power points in your own home if they are loose or have seen better times maybe its time you get them updated before you too get a nasty shock.

Although designed to initially take a 29” old style box tv, (hence the depth), it was made with the intention of upgrading to a 40” flat screen. However we upgraded to a 50 inch which don’t fit but did use recently at last house for stereo and record collection.

Design allows for unit to sit either against a flat wall, or can be diagonal over a room corner as the ends of the unit are angled
