Your child is

Hi! I’m Anat, a Child Developmental Therapist,
specializing in babies and toddlers.

Please join me

Good of you to join. I’m Anat, a loving mother of two. l reside in Hadar -Am, a small village located in the rural area of Emek Hefer in Israel. I am a child developmental therapist for babies and toddlers and over a decade have been practicing the Vardi Method. I truly believe in early intervention by implementing neuro-movement therapy together with parental guidance and developmental instruction.

‍
The connection between the body and the mind has always been an astonishing and powerful one to me.
‍
I am in constant research of the amazing “human body” - it’s movements, abilities and perceptions that arise each time that it is faced with the challenges I set before it. I grew up in the USA and as a child was always involved in various forms of sports and dance. As a  gymnast and swimmer in the past, and a current certified children’s yoga instructor today, sports and exercise body movement have always been an ongoing part of my life. Through this extensive experience, I have gained important knowledge of coordination and the body-mind connection, all of which are contributing factors to reach the fullest potential of each individual.
‍
Within the framework of my academic studies in the field of Linguistics  at Tel Aviv University, I had focused on language development in children and its complexity. In addition, I researched and studied the complex and interesting area of sensory processing and disorders amongst children and babies
‍
Please join me and take the first step into the journey of change.

Motor Development Delay

Neuro- movement developmental therapy for infants and toddlers ages 0 to 2 that integrates touch, movement and sensory stimulation, while creating  self-learning situations to acquire proper movement.
This is aimed to encourage the basic baby development milestones such as rolling over, crawling, sitting, standing, walking and more.

Motor-Cognitive Development Delay

Neuro-movement developmental therapy for infants and toddlers aged 0 to 3 years that includes treatment of various syndromes, ASD and motor-cognitive delays.

Learning Disabilities, ADD and ADHD

Neuro-physiological therapy designed for children and adolescents aged 5 (kindergarten) to 13 years that combines neuro-movement games and practice to encourage brain training, motor regulation, memory improvement and improved information retrieval skills.

Developmental Counseling at a Distance, Consultation and Guidance

It is possible to receive consultation and guidance from a distance. These consultation sessions can provide parents with an initial assessment and preventative tools in the event that they detect signs of developmental difficulties of their child. Following such distance sessions there is an option of face to face therapy and / or consultation sessions.

When the people closest to you need your help.

I learned and became a certified practitioner of the Vardi Method due to my young son's motor delay as a baby that lead to challenges in daily functioning. It all began as a mild developmental delay that was not treated properly as a baby in physical therapy treatments. Later as an infant, we tried various treatments and unfortunately, the improvement was slow.

The significant breakthrough was achieved during my son’s treatment by a Vardi Method colleague in which he experienced a genuine and meaningful transformation. He began to experience and succeed in anything he had difficulty with and this new independence empowered him immensely, filling him with a sense of success and achievement. At that moment, I decided to share my abilities, education and experience to encourage and assist  my child - and yours - to experience success that will lead to growth.

How does it work?

Think about the learning that is required and expected of your babies and children in order to lay on their tummy and hold their head up, roll over, crawl, sit down, stand, talk and and explore their environment with their bodies. But how can your child achieve progress if they have not yet overcome the previous challenge? By utilizing and implementing the Vardi method, I have assisted hundreds of wonderful families and children, I will assist you and your child to gain the necessary tools that I believe are essential for the healthy, correct and natural development of the brain including touch, movement and an enabling environment.
‍
I would be very happy to meet your child and the challenges and opportunities they bring with them, and I will assist them in realizing their abilities, strengths and advantages with sensitivity and a lot of patience.

I arrived with my young daughter after we were disappointed with the service we received at the Child Development Center. Beyond the Gaya's improvement within a short period of time, we had the privilege to discover that in addition to being superbly professional, Anat is also reassuring, thorough and extremely patient and attentive to the worrying parents that seek her assistance and guidance.

We came to Anat when Udi was a year and seven months old and still not walking. After only a few sessions with Anat, Udi was standing, leaning near the coffee table as he had been doing for many months prior and then his father asked him if maybe he would come him all on his own? Udi just started walking towards his father and hasn't stopped since!

We came to Anat with our oldest daughter when she was ten months old and still not crawling. She was treated for several months with physical therapy at the HMO, with an emphasis on improving her strength. We were frustrated by the lack of progress and the stressful exercises. Anat gave us a completely different perspctive and saw very quickly that the focus should be on stimulating our daughter’s legs and assisting her with learning the movements. All the exercises were achievable and more pleasant and the progress was immediate!

My little Michal had great difficulty in Math and English in the Seventh grade and also experienced blackouts during exams. I heard about the Vardi Method and turned to Anat for help. Anat worked with Michal on brain training through body-mind coordination exercises for 4 months. After about a month and a half, we started to see changes and a major shift in her perception. The previous difficult subjects came to her naturally. Thank you Anat for a wonderful job, a certificate of excellence and a grade point average of 96!

Anat came to our house for the first session with our one year old Yahli, who had not yet stood up at the time. The two sessions we met turned into an amazing experience. With professionalism, patience, a smile and great respect for an energetic toddler... in less than a week, Yahli stood up!
