"We've been bringing our son Silas to Amajoy since he was four weeks old. From the first class on, we've learned skills that have helped us understand and be a part of so many of the new things he's going through. Whether it's Silas' digestive turbulence, new developmental movement patterns, or his emotional growth. Lenore uses a huge range of knowledge and experience to offer insights and solutions we could not have come up with on our own. My favorite thing about Lenore's teaching is her ability to understand kids from the inside out, through their individual bodies and minds. It's been so exciting to bring Silas in every week and have the whole class see all the changes he's gone through in that short time. The attention in the room that relaxed state of focused awareness that Lenore fosters often stays with me for the whole day (I guess the class isn't just for babies). As first time parents, we've had so much to learn and get used to and, of course, worry about in the last few months. Lenore's work has not only helped to smooth out some of the difficulties, but also how to take pleasure in many of the subtleties of our son's first experiences in the world."

A Year's Journey

Nora and nanny, Kim, brought the twins to Infant Class each week through their first year together! "We found Lenore and Amajoy when Gerrit and Grey were 6 weeks old. Because they were premature, we wanted to do everything we could to give them a strong start. The work that Lenore has done with the twins over the past year is phenomenal and they are now strong, active and inquisitive toddlers."

"The day after class last week my son started shuffling around on his knees rather than his bottom. Now that he can crawl he is so much happier, and so am I!"

"We look forward each week to working with Lenore and playing in her studio. We were first impressed by her ease and grace with people of all ages and her incredible energy, which draws in both adults and children as learners. Our otherwise healthy daughter had delays in movement and communication. Lenore is so skilled at helping her grow into her potential; she is equally skilled at teaching parents about infant and toddler development and how to apply Body-Mind Centering principles to support that development. Amajoy makes our lives brighter and fuller."
