Our Statement of Purpose

The Association therefore Aims to:
-
Promote the practice, facilitation and teaching of Movement Medicine
-
Uphold the professional standards of Movement Medicine facilitators and teachers, overseeing the ethical practice and professional development of Movement Medicine facilitators and teachers
-
Represent teachers and facilitators with the public and public bodies as needed
-

About our Teachers and Facilitators
All Movement Medicine Teachers and Facilitators have taken part in an intensive training with Susannah and Ya’Acov Darling Khan at the School of Movement Medicine. Teachers are trained to teach Movement Medicine. Facilitators integrate the practice of Movement Medicine into their pre-existing profession. All have professional supervision, and follow the Movement Medicine Association's Code of Ethics.
Membership
Full Membership of the association is open to any individual who is recognised by the School of Movement Medicine as a qualified or apprentice facilitator or teacher of Movement Medicine and who pays a subscription set by an Association Assembly.
It is intended to create a category of associate membership, to be open to other individuals in the Movement Medicine community. Only full members may participate in the association decision making process at general meetings.
The Association was formed on July 3rd 2012 at Rill Estate, Devon, UK.
