Agi is an exceptionally knowledgeable and experienced therapist. When my daughter was diagnosed with global developmental delay, we knew early intervention was crucial to help her progress. We began therapy when Charlotte was just 4 months old, with three sessions of physiotherapy and one session of occupational therapy each week. Although we saw some improvements, they were very small, so I decided to explore other therapy options. I discovered CME therapy but found it challenging to locate a CME therapist in the UK. After reaching out to Ramon Cuevas, the creator of CME, his team recommended Agi. We started intensive CME therapy with Agi when Charlotte was 13 months old, and the results were remarkable—she began making significant progress in her development. I highly recommend Agi as a therapist.We are now doing monthly intensive therapy blocks with Agi, and my only regret is that I didn’t find her sooner.

Thank you. As I said to you many times I dream of a world where parents are as aware of the potential of early intervention as you are. Baby Charlotte will prove you right: step by step , milestone after milestone she’ll succeed! The most important part is that because she started early, all her involved bodily systems are showing great involvement and response to stimuli, and Charlotte takes the challenges with never-ending smile on her face! I cannot wait to see you again !

Our son Julian has significantly improved his mobility due to the hard work, professionalism and experience of Agi. I strongly recommend her as it has been a key life changing process for our son and for us as a family.

Agi is absolutely amazing! I’m so so happy we have her in our lives now, we are fairly new and have only had a couple of sessions with Agi but for the first time we finally have hope again and Agi believes in our little girl and can see her capabilities, her experience and knowledge is unbelievable and they way she speaks to the children and grows a special bond with them is so so lovely to watch she has a lovely way of communicating with them , she really is magic hands, she puts all her faith and hard work into to our gorgeous kids and for us it’s so heartwarming for once that someone believes in our girl and we can’t wait to see what the future holds. Thank you Agi for being you. xxxx

Agi is a wonderful child sensory motor practitioner. She predominantly does CME work. However, she has enriched herself with several other modalities such as movement lessons, child space and more. She is not the kind of practitioner who finds faults with other modalities, she is always open to parents trying different ways of working with the child to achieve a wholistic development.
Reply from Very Special Children 2023.09.08
How lovely , thank you. It is my aim to lead children out of therapy, when they are ready.It takes a determined parent to take the challenge and continue challenging their child in the real world. You are a fabulous mum!

We have been working with Agi for 2 years. She is nothing short of phenomenal. Her deep understanding and dynamic way of working with each child really gets results. Agi has studied many modalities (CME; Childs Space; Conductive Education...list goes on). I trust her opinions and ideas. She is such a source of support for my son and myself.

Thank you Avi. I think we are a good match; we understand and support each other. Without your growing understanding and your home practice we couldn’t see the same result! Working with C is my delight and privilege !

Agi is simply amazing! We have been working with Agi for over a year now, she is doing a wonderful job with my daughter. To me, Agi is a miracle worker, she has shown me that things are always possible, “you have to trust the process”. And the process is just wonderful. Agi and my daughter have a special bond, you have to be pretty special to have any connection with my daughter as she doesn’t just “click” with anyone, so that in itself means a lot. I highly recommend Agi. I wish I had found her sooner. Thank you for all that you do Agi xx

We found Agi after researching CME and started seeing her just over a year ago for our now 4 year old son Rudi who has hypotonia. We have now completed 5 intensive therapy blocks with Agi and we feel so grateful to have her as part of Rudi’s team. Agi is an amazing therapist with a holistic approach and a wide range of knowledge which she is always happy to share. She is incredibly intuitive and has a really genuine and caring approach to working with the child as well as the family. Rudi has progressed so much since we started seeing Agi with improvement in his movement, strength, balance & control. Since starting CME with Agi we have so much more hope for our sons future beyond what we thought may be possible based on ‘normal’ therapy interventions available to us. We would highly recommend anyone in a similar situation to get in touch with Agi and try CME. Our only regret is that we didn’t find her sooner!

Thank you Sarah; I love working with team Rudi!! Open mindedness helped me to find extraordinary teachers and learn from them. Your open mindedness and cheerfulness is helping Rudi to move better, feel better day after day! Keep going, he is on the right track !

Can highly recommend Agi’s work! She’s fantastic with all the children she sees and is very knowledgeable. We wish we had found her sooner! A very special lady who cares so much about our very special children!
Reply from Very Special Children 2023.03.01
How sweet of you Laura, thank you! Yes it would be a dream come true for me to start working with children as early as they are home from the hospital, or concerns arise. Preventive work is invaluable. At the same time it’s important not to look back but look forwards and make the most of today!

I can’t recommend Agi more enough. We feel so lucky to have her helping our son Lucas who has cerebral palsy. Lucas has been seeing Agi for CME and movement lessons for quite a few years. Agi is not only a therapist but also a psychologist, a mentor and a friend. Agi has helped Lucas to maximum reach his potential. We have gradually seeing a lot of improvement of Lucas’ movement and postures that we don’t believe it could have happened. We will recommend Agi to any family who has kids need a bit of help with their movement.
Reply from Very Special Children 2023.02.28
Thank you. I am so happy to be part of Team Lucas! We equally contribute to his progress and he is an enthusiast (:-) ). There has been so much work done already and he is still so young. Now he can contribute with himself with his awareness and understanding. So much good things are on its way.

Agi is one of a kind! It wouldn't be fair to describe her in just one way because her knowledge and experience with kids is incredibly vast. She's a holistic practitioner who can quickly connect with children and knows just what tools to use to help them. Having Agi in our lives has made such a huge difference, not just for our son Leif but for our whole family. She really helps Leif reach his potential. The support she gives families is endless. We feel super lucky to have Agi in our lives and would recommend her to anyone who needs a little extra help with their child. Seriously, she's amazing!

.. in times of challenges I try to remind myself of my personal ‘Why factors’.. why I chose the work I do, why I like it with all its pros and cons.. well, you summed it up: because it’s real, it’s continuously growing and changing , it’s heart and family- centred! Thank you so much

Szép napot mindenkinek! Az en kis lányom 4 eve született, oxygen hiányosan. Elég sokáig tartott mire ujra élesztették, es amikor sikerült meg mindig nehezen vette a levegőt. Egy hónapot lélegeztető gépen volt mire sikerült ujra önállóan lelegeznie. A hivatalos diagnózis ekkor HIE 2 volt. Hazavittuk gondolván innen mar csak felfele lehet menni, gondolván... Az agyi sérülése ellenére 4 hónapos koráig minden rendben volt es fejlődött mint egy 'normális' gyerek, gurult, tartotta a fejet stb.. Elkezdtek epileptikus görcsök előjönni, 3 fajta a legrosszabb köztük az infantilis spasm ami köztudottan leállítja az egy fejlődését. Egy evet töltöttünk kórházban amire sikerült kontrollálni a gorcseit annyira hogy hazavihessuk. Ez volt a pillanat amikor mi is el tudtunk kezdeni nézelődni a mozgás terápiák piacan. Csináltunk minden felet az accupressure terapiatol a Pető intézetes kondaktiv munkáig. En mindennek adok időt, egy ev minimum. Itt sem volt más a helyzet. Volt fejlődés? Szerettem volna hinni, de nekünk személy szerint nem. Egy kedves anyuka által ismertük meg Agit. A kislányom 3 eves volt mar ilyenkor. Oszinte leszek mikor először elolvastam Agi weboldalát mintha Japánul lett ott volna minden, olyan különböző mozgás fejlesztő terápiák es szakszavak voltak ott hogy azt sem tudtam mik azok. Nem az átlagos köztudott terápiák, némelyiket ki sem lehetett ejteni. Na de felhívtam Agit mert úgy voltam vele hogy hátha es mi különleges gyerekek szülei mindent kiprobalunk csak segítsünk a gyereknek. Mai napig örülök hogy nem tantorottam el az ismeretlentől mert Agi csoda. Nem, nem szalad meg a gyerek 3 nap után tehát nem magic történik de folyamatosan fejlődő munka folyik. Es a gyerek is reagál ra, hala istennek. Nem azt akarom mondani hogy semmi nem jo csak amit Agi csinál hanem hogyha olyan helyzetben vagy mint mi voltunk hogy próbálgatsz különböző átlag által ismert terápiát es nem működik, mindenkeppen adj esélyt ennek is es Agi munkájának! Miért szeretünk Agihoz járni a fejlődésen kívül? 1. O nem ellenzi es szidja a másik terapeutakat mint sajnos nekünk volt ebben részünk másokkal. Neki a gyerek a legfontosabb es mi más lenne nekünk fontos mint szülőknek. 2. Jo vagy rossz nap, van megoldás. Például most par hete nagyon beteg volt a lanyom es 2 hétig agyban volt, semmit nem csináltunk vele mert örültünk ha nem lázas 1 óráig. Na most az fontos tudni hogy az en kicsi lanyom az meg nem tud menni es meg nem onallo, tehát amikor azt mondom agyban volt akkor abban nincs benne pici jarkalas hogy az ízületek es a vérkeringés menjen, semmi. Eteteshez felemeltuk meg néha felultettuk hogy a keringési menjen de annyi. Mire jött a terápia het Agival mar nem volt beteg de meg fajt neki itten ottan nem beszelve hogy osszerandultak az izmai mivel nem volt mozgatva olyan szinten mint amikor nem beteg. Vissza mentünk az alapokhoz es konkrétan könnyed mozdulatokkal Agi 'össze rakta' a lanyom az eredeti formába 4 alkalom által. Most folytatjuk ahol abba hagytuk. 3. Fáradt vagy? Normális, nem baj. Agi ad feladatot minden fele helyzetre es a fejlődés megy tovább. Agi által tanultuk meg hogy nem minden az ha nyomjuk a gyereket mintha edzőtáborban lenne. Sokszor egy lagy es könnyebb mozgás többet segít mint ha sírásig erőltetsz valamit. 4. Flexibilis es megértő. Tisztel minket mint szülőket es hallgat a visszajelzéseinkre. Sajnos az utóbbiban megint nem sok részünk volt mostanáig. A lanyom életében először ült meg 1 percet önállóan par honapja. Kinyomja magát a lábáról, megtartja magát négykézláb meg hasonlok. A keze meg a lába kilazult es mar nem feszeng gombócban a gyerek. Ezek apró dolgok másoknak de szülőknek akinek agyi bénult gyereke van tudni fogja hogy ezek fontos es nem apró dolgok. Ez egy maraton nem sprint. Az idegrendszer rugalmas es tanítható, mindenki másra reagál. Ha hasonló helyzetben vagy es nem tudod mit tegyel, garantálom hogy egy telefonhívás Agival nem lesz veszteség.

I would recommend Agi's work. She is knowledgeable of her craft and takes the time to get to know each and every child she works with. She has formed a special bond with my daughter and has worked hard to specifically tailor a plan for her.

Agi is that rare therapist who is truly holistic and applies her knowledge of many different fields to your child. She is loving and calm and able to quickly build a rapport with your child. She is highly intuitive and responds to what your child needs in order to progress.

Agnes has, and continues, to enable our son to discover what and how much potential his body has. His movement continues to flourish with her input and we always look forward to her feedback on his progress. You can tell that she has a special connection with him through her gentle touch, and he really listens to her vocal instructions. It’s magic to watch!

Agi is amazing. I can’t quite explain what she does but she has challenged our son (who has quad cerebral palsy) in ways that no one else has, and we believe that she has played a huge part in him achieving milestones that we weren’t sure he would. She has a special bond with children and we trust her wholeheartedly. She has so much knowledge and enthusiasm. We would recommend to any families in the same position. ❤️
Reply from Very Special Children 2023.02.11

We have been seeing Agi every chance we can get over the last 2,5 years. She is a wonderful therapist, our daughter adores her. The progress she made is amazing. What is so remarkable about working with Agi is, her special touch, she really cares and her way of finding out where Winnie is and what she needs is magical. She truly made the biggest difference for us in so many ways.

Thank you so much, it means so much. I think I’ll always stay an Early Years Teacher in my heart . Bonding and understanding these beautiful children are equally important in my work than doing the physical work. We can only move effectively what we feel, and we can only make positive changes in what we understand and care for.
