Whether you are seeking pain relief, dealing with conditions of the central nervous system (multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, stroke), or extending your abilities, improving skill, and enhancing creativity.

HOW DOES THE METHOD WORK?

Our own body awareness and attention stimulates the brain to create new neural pathways that enable optimal movement patterns and function.

This brain activity is called “neuroplasticity.” Neuroplasticity is what allows all learning to take place. As you learn better ways to move, you experience improvements in balance, breathing, coordination, flexibility, cognition, and outlook.

What is different about the Method?

We use gentle, innovative movement themes that stimulate spontaneous neuroplastic learning.

Changes are felt globally.
