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.

“This course is priceless. It’s useful for everyone! I am recharged and excited about taking my new tools back to the classroom. I have been feeling overwhelmed and tired to this point! Now, I feel I have some tools! I loved the observation of Cece working with a challenged child; it was priceless.”

“This Brain Gym® for Special Needs course gave me unique tools to use with the kids when the traditional P.T. stuff doesn’t do the job or help me help the kids reach their goals. Cece, you are the best instructor I’ve ever had for any type of class. Thank you."

“Cece models very well how to teach from the heart and how to notice others. You have got to take her course. It will change the way you think, teach and approach learning.”

“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.”

“This course is a learning by doing experience. The atmosphere was open and safe––conducive to learning. Movement-based learning uses movement of the body to effect changes in the brain. It is a tool that once learned, is easy to integrate into your work as a Physical Therapist (PT) as well as your home life. It is a great adjunct to all other tools that we use as a PT.”

“My awareness of others and the ‘space’ in which they grow has been keenly awakened. I loved your [Cece] teaching style. Even though there were close to twenty of us ladies in the room, I felt that you were speaking only with me! What a gift God has given you!”

“Cece teaches movements that energize learning. She introduces Bal-a-vis-x and demonstrates how to apply the theory of movement-based learning by bringing children into the workshop so we can observe her using it with them. The information and techniques are definitely applicable to Occupational Therapy (OT) and compliments and parallels our practices.”
