Why Astrolabe Therapy?

  • Astrolabe Therapy recognises the challenges faced by children with neuro-developmental delays. Our founder, having navigated her own formative years and early adulthood with puzzling challenges, understands firsthand the impact of such delays on daily life. As a qualified therapist and someone who has experienced retained primitive reflexes, she possesses unique insight into these struggles. This firsthand experience enables her to provide personalised care, recognising and addressing individuals' needs with compassion and understanding, advocating for your child to be truly seen, receiving the care they need.

  • Through comprehensive assessment, we develop a tailored treatment plan for your child. By employing diverse modalities to restore optimal health and function, we empower each individual to free their innate abilities, helping them to thrive and feel comfortable and happier in their daily lives.

  • We recognise that the underlying cause IS the problem, not the symptoms nor the child. We are dedicated to uncovering why some children have to work harder than their peers and still not reach their potential. Our work supports people in addressing the need to compensate for physical difficulties that hinder functioning through targeted exercises aimed at enhancing effortless daily functioning and overall quality of life.

TESTIMONIALS

  • "My teenage son is currently undertaking the INPP Programme. After initially completing a questionnaire and attending a 2-hour assessment we were given specific 5–10-minute exercises to do daily and received a progress review every 8 weeks. Within 6 months we have already witnessed significant improvements in his coordination, posture, balance, fine motor skills and improved cognitive functions such as mental imagery. It was evident from our first appointment that our practitioner, Taqua Imam, has a genuine passion to help children who are struggling. Her dedication, professionalism and nurturing support have greatly contributed to our positive experience. I highly recommend Astrolabe Therapy to any parents seeking to get to the root cause of challenges they face and want to provide their children with this opportunity to reach their true potential. My only regret is not finding out about Retained Reflex’s sooner."

  • "My child has always found Ms Imam approachable and sympathetic to her anxieties. She has always had a calming approach and techniques to help settle my child. As a parent I have been pleased with the way Ms Imam has conducted her appointments via phone and in person and feel confident in her methods and abilities to help my child realise they can overcome their anxieties and move forward for the future using strategies to help them succeed in feeling more balanced."

  • "From initial contact to our current review (we are halfway through the programme), our experience with Astrolabe Therapy has been exceptional. The progress our son has made with his balance, energy levels, focus and mood has been incredible. Our son has always excelled academically and physically in sports, his teacher (Ms Imam) noticed that he was constantly tired and tended to rest his head on his hand. She approached him and asked him a few questions and asked if she could get in touch with us to help him. We had never heard of primitive reflexes and did not know of their impact on a child’s development and strength. Since starting the programme, we no longer have to remind him to study or do his homework, he is more active, happier and his posture and physical strength have improved enormously. We are grateful to Taqua and all the support she has provided for us as a family."
