Welcome to Hello, Movement!

We came to ABMNM® in 2021 after our daughter was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy. When I read Anat Baniel’s book “Kids Beyond Limits” I learned about her 9 Essentials and we have been integrating them into our lives ever since. This method has shifted our perspective as parents from being in fixing mode to truly learning how to connect with our daughter. We have seen her continue to progress and change with the power of the brain’s ability to create new neuropathways. Witnessing how our daughter’s practitioners have impacted her growth inspired me to become a practitioner myself! ABMNM® has brought joy back into our lives because now we see limitless potential.

I‘m a graduate of Temple University and come from a background in music/oboe performance. Since 2006 I have been a member or the Charlotte Symphony Orchestra after winning the national audition for a seat in the oboe section. Along with the joys of playing in a full time orchestra has come the reality of playing with pain. Lower back pain, carpel tunnel, tendinitis and tennis elbow (to name a few) are common ailments for many instrumentalists. The demands of my job, long hours holding an instrument and these repetitive movements have taken a toll. So many approaches to finding a solution have fallen short over the years, helping but not creating lasting improvement. I can personally say that I have experienced changes and new improved abilities in movement while playing my instrument that have come from this work. Now I understand what and how my daughter is learning through this method. The potential for change has no bounds.
