Make Movement Matter Podcast. Episode #26. Breaking the mould: challenging movement norms in workplaces and schools for neuro-inclusivity, wellness and growth with Jess Meredith.

For the start of Season 3, I invited Jess Meredith, a neuro-diversity expert, to discuss the essential role of movement in our workplaces and schools. Jess talks and leads workshops about neuro-inclusivity and helping everyone to look at the environments they spend time in and think about changes that can be made to suit the needs of everyone.

Jess shares tools and ways of interacting that help people who are neurodivergent feel safe, concentrate better and meet their bodies needs. We discussed how most of these needs can be met with interventions that would in fact benefit everyone and we shared ideas for the future of educational and work environments that benefit all.

We discuss the importance of challenging social norms that are restricting individual’s movement needs and emphasise the importance of normalising movement for everyone to improve productivity, learning, and overall well-being.

I thoroughly enjoyed talking with Jess and could have continued for much longer!

Connect with your host, Wendy, founder of Reclaim Movement:

Wendy (50) founded Reclaim Movement after a running injury at 40 turned into 4 years of chronic pain. In her search for answers and to reclaim her own movement again she discovered natural movement. The philosophy of training real life practical movements to be able to keep using them as we age, coupled with the benefit of using strengthening and mobilising whole-body movement patterns that are underused in today’s modern world made her realise she had found a way to move for life.

Wendy’s aim is to help people embrace a movement-rich life, at any age, to improve mobility, strength and confidence to keep moving well and doing the things they love for as long as they want.
MovNat Level 1 certified & Functional Range Conditioning certified, she coaches online group classes live & by replay in the Reclaim Movement membership as well as online and in-person private coaching in Oxford.
