About Me.

Hi, I’m Jessie — educator, movement specialist, and founder of Forston Learning.

​

For more than 20 years, I’ve been helping children and families unlock the joy of learning. My journey started in the classroom as a teacher, but quickly grew beyond traditional academics. I saw firsthand how many children struggled — not because they weren’t capable, but because their brains and bodies weren’t fully prepared for the demands of school.

​

That discovery led me to train in NeuroDevelopmental Movement®, a powerful approach that uses early childhood movement patterns to strengthen the brain-body foundation for reading, focus, and learning. Over time, I began blending this work with my other passions:

• Yoga Storytimes that bring books to life through movement

• Reading tutoring that combines foundational skills with brain-based strategies

• Positive Psychology practices that help children and families focus on strengths, resilience, and joy

 

Today, through Forston Learning, I work with parents, educators, and students to bridge gaps, build confidence, and nurture a lifelong love of learning. Whether I’m guiding a struggling reader, sharing movement strategies with a classroom teacher, or creating resources inside the Brain-Body Learning Lab, my mission is the same:

​

Moving bodies. Building brains. Unlocking potential.

​

When I’m not teaching or creating, you’ll usually find me with my husband and kids at an Ultimate Frisbee game, dreaming up new ideas with my mastermind group, or recording my Foundations of Learning podcast.

​

I believe every child deserves a strong foundation — and every parent and teacher deserves tools that make learning joyful again. I’m so glad you’ve found your way here.
