About Dr Alweena

Dr Alweena has been working with children all of her adult life. She studied to be as a P.E teacher and she began teaching in the classroom at the age of 23. Dr Alweena studied many forms of Kinesiology, particularly in relation to child development.

PhD Research

Dr Alweena Awan researched the SIMPLE programme as part of her doctorate in “Raising Children’s Learning and Performance in Schools”, in 2007.

Child Centre Method

She then went on to on develop,The Child Centre Method – Learning and Behaviour Program ® after working in schools for twenty three years. The program is the culmination of years of research and development in the area of child development.

Potential Training, an international school founded by the unique and innovative Dr Alweena Awan, offers a distinctive approach to healing. This approach, which combines various healing modalities, is designed to bring about profound healing for adults and children on a physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual level.

Dr Alweena Awan, a passionate advocate for health and therapeutic benefits, has dedicated her life to studying and practising holistic healing. Her journey culminated in a PhD titled ‘Raising Children’s Learning and Performance in Schools ‘, where she pioneered the Child Centric Learning Effectiveness Cycle (CCLEC). This innovative approach, integrating sound therapy and movement programmes, has significantly raised physical literacy in children within a holistic model for their learning and performance improvement. This groundbreaking research led to the Child Centre Method, a unique blend of science, Kinesiology, and energy medicine designed to address children’s behavioural, learning, and emotional issues.

Dr Awan’s extensive experience is more than just theoretical. She has successfully applied her knowledge in Training, advising, and consulting on various kinesiology-rooted therapeutic activities that combine science and energy medicine. Her practical approach ensures that her clients see real, tangible results.

Dr Awan’s early work, which was built upon her PhD research, has had a significant impact. She has developed and refined her SIMPLE Physical Literacy and the CHILD Centre Method programmes. These programs have proven to be highly effective in rehabilitating children’s primitive reflexes, improving their body confidence, and increasing their learning capacity and school performance. The success of these programs, which is a testament to the validity of her research, is further evidenced by the publication of her book, ‘Raising Children’s Learning and Performance in Schools,’ in 2010.

She subsequently expanded her use of kinesiology to address a wide range of physical, emotional, and learning issues in adults and children, with a specific interest in overcoming neuro-developmental delay in children and trauma in adults by integrating primitive reflexes.

Dr Awan’s work combines traditional academic educational research with principles derived from a wide range of holistic practices and energy medicine. She is currently professionally active in teaching and Training within the following four vital therapeutic strands, which she has created as original treatment modalities (numbers 1-3) or adapted according to her practice principles (number 4).

Getting the Balance Right

The SIMPLE programme, which helps to address Physical Literacy, is also part of The Child Centre Method ® , which is a systematic integrated program that allows the practitioner to firstly identify the individual challenges that each student faces, and secondly, to create a unique program for that individual.
