Chronological Order on the Creation of the Wellness Through Movement program

History of Testing the WTM Lessons with Elementary Schools

We were first invited into Hawaii Preparatory Academy Elementary by Susie Jones, a physical education teacher at the time. From there, we went into other mind-body trainings to see if there were no other programs on the Sensory Body. Finally, we tested the lessons with different populations of children, had lessons edited by elementary teachers, and met with parents. The total amount of time working on the program has now been twenty years. (2005- 2025)
