Staying mobile

Towards natural ease of movement

Movement and Mobility

How May I Help You?

I work with individuals and groups who want to stay mobile

I am donating a percentage of my takings to Communicare via Work for Good.
I admire the work Communicare does in the community,
which is based on similar values to mine.

Eleanor van der Hoest

Hello all.  I started Ways to Move as a way to empower people to stay independent into old age.  Supporting my mother in her later years with her increasingly reduced mobility gave me insights which set me on a path leading to Ways to Move.  In the meantime I have gain lots of experience with people of age, and learnt a great deal about aging for looking after myself as I get older, as well as helping others to retain their verve.

In my circle of friends, I am known for dancing when there is music playing – especially outside! Dancing freely feels magical: it’s a great way to keep the whole body in motion, drawn by the impulse of the music, retaining range of movement without strain or extreme exertion.  I would love to inspire you to keep your body well by finding an activity that you love.
