Becoming a Sponsor

If you would like to make a difference in a child’s life or in the life of an adult who has been compromised by a stroke or brain injury, contact Cecilia Koester by email. She travels the world in an effort to make life a little less of a struggle for anyone who is interested. A dear friend of hers once said, “If you don’t want your life to change, don’t take classes with Cecilia!”

Cecilia travels the world by sponsorship invitation. Besides the teaching fee, sponsors are responsible for marketing and registration of students for the class, travel expenses, food and a translator, if necessary. They retain the remainder of course income to offset their expenses and pay themselves for their time and energy, while attending the class for free. It’s a win-win opportunity. Contact Cecilia for schedule openings.

Course manuals are sold by sponsors. Brain Gym® for Special Needs Providers and Movement Based Learning for Children of All Abilities have been translated into: Spanish, French, Malay, Japanese, Mandarin Chinese, Russian, Dutch, German and Italian. They are presently being translated into Catalan and Slovenian.

“My enthusiasm for my work in the special education classroom has been renewed. I now have an awareness of noticing that will get stronger over time. I have some foundational pieces that Cece calls Building Blocks that will get me to the heart of a child’s problem much more quickly.”

“This course is very helpful in giving hands-on exercises to activate the learning process. Teachers are given tools to help optimal learning occur. I’ve learned to be more aware of my own body. I have come to realize the amazing connection between my body and my mind. This course provided a structure for me to achieve greater clarity and experience many insights––things came together. The attention to detail that makes movement-based learning so much more comprehendible will greatly improve the effectiveness of the work I am doing.”

“Cece’s ability to share the way she notices the child’s behavior, demeanor, ability to pay attention to the game being played or the task being done, is magical. She is able to express what she sees so that you can then replicate the assessment in your own sessions with a child. It’s magical.”
