My name is Wanda Jonsson. I am a teacher with the Ottawa Carleton District School Board. I have 19 years of experience teaching both children and adults. I also work with individual clients using various holistic techniques. I conduct workshops to promote wellness and brain-body learning which helps reduce stress and promotes health.

I have studied a wide variety of alternative health care methods. Much of what I have learned is compatible with brain-based learning research. Teaching students in a brain compatible way includes providing a stimulating environment, use of all the learning modalities (visual, auditory, and kinesthetic), and supporting the physical side of learning through movement.

Moving the body is essential to new learning and memory, as well as focus and attention. I  combine a variety of  techniques when working with clients and students. This includes Brain Gym, acupressure, and energy balancing. In individual sessions I may include Reiki and the Emotional Freedom Technique.

 I teach people how to use these techniques on their own so they can be empowered when in new learning situations. Learning blocks gradually disappear, and the stress around learning is automatically reduced. This enables new information to be integrated and remembered, and even makes learning fun!
