Staying mobile

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.

Mobility Facilitator
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.
