Hreyfiland

Krisztina G. Agueda is the the founder of Fjölskylduland.

She is a movement therapist who specializes in child motor development. She has been running Hreyfiland – a popular family gym in the capital area – for more than two decades. Hreyfiland offers developmental classes for babies and children from 3 months up to 6 years, as well as targeted therapy for developmentally challenged children.

Hreyfiland gym will continue its operations in Fjölskylduland. It will offer play-based developmental supporting classes for typically developing kids, as well as provide targeted individual therapy for kids who are experiencing developmental delays or who are struggling with unusual behaviors. Additionally, a comprehensive examination of the sensorimotor and cognitive development of children will also be available on request.

Hrafnhildur Sigurðardóttir and Unnur Arna Jónsdóttir are the founders and owners of Hugarfrelsi, which specializes in children’s well-being. Their education is multi-faceted, but they have completed a master’s degree in pastoral care and have a teacher’s license in mindfulness and deep relaxation. Unnur also has a university degree in business administration and Hrafnhildur is a primary school teacher by education.

Hugarfrelsi specializes in the well-being of children. Organized by Hugarfrelsi, courses and lectures are held where children, parents and professionals are taught to use effective methods to improve their physical and mental well-being in play and work. In the past few years, Hugarfrelsi methodology has been implemented in dozens of kindergartens and elementary schools around the country with good results, as the methods are very suitable for school work. The concept of freedom of thought applies to all school work, whether it is traditional teaching, study counseling, support or leisure and social center work. Freedom of Mind has published a number of educational materials such as books, online courses, cards and panels to reduce anxiety and stress and promote students’ self-confidence and positivity, which is important in school work.
