Dr. Melodie de Jager
Human development specialist, Johannesburg
Melodie, author, trainer and keynote speaker, is the founder of the BabyGym and Mind Moves Institutes.
“People fascinate me. I am intrigued by what makes them tick. And for that reason I’ve studied and am still studying people: babies, toddlers, children, teens, adults and seniors and ways in which they, and we, can thrive.”
Special focus:
People. Movement. THRIVING.
Approach/Modalities:
Nature has endowed us with gravity and movement. I believe both modalities gift us with stability on all levels, physical, emotional, social and intellectual, when approached within a goal-specific context.
Client focus:
Pregnancy to old age. Melodie works in English and Afrikaans.
Qualifications:
D.Phil
