“Every child is a star and deserves to shine brightly.” - Esther Arends After receiving a B.A. in Social Work from The Hague University of Applied Sciences in The Netherlands, she has worked in the fields of child and youth psychiatry, child protection, and in after-school care and primary education. This background, in combination with her experience and training in dance, The Nia™ Technique, other movement techniques, mindfulness, and personal development, inspired her to create her company and the curriculum Journey through the Body. Her aim is to reform the education system so that it includes teaching and supporting children, and the people who work with them, to listen to their bodies. Empowering them to make choices that serve their health and well-being by using the innate wisdom of the body as their compass. Important life-skills for a healthy, happy and fulfilling life. She offers training, education, and coaching that focuses on promoting three essential building blocks for a strong foundation in life: body awareness, self-awareness, and self-worth.
