Andrea describes herself like this...
"My aim is to improve the lived human experience in water by helping all ages make sense of the water through natural learner-led approaches that trigger the amazing hidden skills we are all born with.I am in effect focused upon panic prevention by helping everyone overcome emotional dysregulation in water....I am a scaffolder for an elite form of human aquatic prowes..."
Andrea joined me to discuss her unique approach to helping people learn to swim which is informed by the ecological approach.
Andrea explains how her childhood experiences of play in water shaped her approach to teaching and instructing and how she has been passionate about offering similar experiences to others. In this episode we cover:
- How people have an 'embodied trauma' that fuels a phobia of water.
- How babies are actually very adapted to water.
- How people sense differently in water and how verbal instructions lead to people using the wrong sensory apparatus.
- How traditional teaching could actually be dangerous and lead to increased risk of drowning.
and so much more...
This is an absolutely fascinating conversation - I hope you enjoy
