Learn what the body knows, the mind doesn’t.
Get to know more of your child
and help them get to know more of themselves

What is WTM about?
Children discover an extraordinary sense known as the “Sensory Body (SB).” By harmonizing physical inclinations with thought, the SB empowers individuals to navigate life through their hearts.
What age is WTM geared?
WTM lessons can be adapted for children ages 5 to 10 (as well as for individuals of any age who have a youthful spirit).
Discovering your Sensory Body (SB) is akin to finding a cherished friend. The journey of understanding it is often more effortless in our younger years, so thank you for logging in. The Sensory Body serves as a guiding light, illuminating their awareness when the going gets tough. Embrace this connection, and let it empower your children’s hearts through life’s challenges.
The SB is only done by feeling it. Why? It comes from the body, not just the brain. As neurologist, Jill Bolte Taylor, says, “We are feeling creatures that thinks. Not thinking creatures that feel.”
How does WTM work?
The sensitive children are our gifts to the world. For them, they feel “movement” as not just an action, it is a call for support.
Once the senses, actions, and thoughts unite in awareness, children learn to utilize their unique sensitivities and gifts. Movement and sensory observation, together, become the teacher.
How does WTM help children?
Parents report the enhancement of their children’s overall well-being.
Principal Danny Garcia from our pilot school praises the improvement in social-emotional behavior and elimination of bullying.
Moreover, teachers affirm that it boost academic achievement.
However, WTM is not about getting good grades, stopping bullying, or improving health. WTM is about learning from a place in the heart.
Does it sound too good to be true?
Scientists globally report that qualities of motion are brain function (Harvard, the “Movement Is” conference, 2018). WTM closes this massive gap between scientists and community by giving tangible ways to experience these theories.
Humans are designed to find unity.
Were the WTM techniques tested?
Yes.
For thirteen years, Catherine Rosasco-Mitchell and a team of educators, administrators, and child development specialists collaborated, refined, and tested the techniques with children.
Four elementary schools participated. However, a special thanks to the Kohala Elementary School (our pilot school) (2008 to 2016). And thanks to the Hawaii Preparatory Academy’s (HPA) lower school with Susie Jones and Parker Elementary School with Donna Rohr.
