Initially the clinic will be open bi-weekly on Thursdays from 11am to 1.30pm.

Exciting times ahead!

Developmental talk for Early Years at Markham College

November 2017

Last Wednesday I was really excited to be talking to this lovely group of early years educators at the Monterrico campus of Markham College, Lima.

Some great brainstorming and feedback too. Marvellous to be back doing the work I love.

We all recognised the serious need for early intervention. Anyone who knows me, will know how much importance I place on this!

Premature Babies – The importance of early intervention physiotherapy

Anyone who knows me or has followed me in the past will be well aware that I have a mantra that “Early Intervention is the key”. Every time I see a baby who has been born prematurely this belief is reconfirmed. I was happy to see the experts at NICE (The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence) in the UK are agreeing and implementing this. I hope this article is of interest to any parent out there who has a child born prematurely. Please click on the picture to read this and feel free to contact me with comments or questions.

The next talk will be at Small World Christian Kindergarten on Tuesday August 23rd. This is designed for Small World’s professional staff.
Further talks at various Kindergartens in Hong Kong will follow later in the year and in 2017. These talks will be about the gross motor development of children in their early years.

Free talk on Developmental milestones – Tuesday 6th October at Nest4Mums

Have you ever wondered when your baby will learn to sit , when they will learn to crawl, when to expect their first tooth and when they will first smile at you? These are important milestones in a baby’s first year of life

Come and find out about your baby’s development and when to expect these magical moments in a child’s life.

Helen is a Paediatric Physiotherapist, Developmental Specialist and one of the founders of Nest4Mums. She has been working with parents and babies for over 30 years.
