MOVE INTEGRATE, ANAT BANIEL METHOD CALGARY TESTIMONIALS

Ashley's Story

"Ashley finished her first ABM (Anat Baniel Method) intensive today thanks to Renée Gray @move_integrate.

Over the past few days we witnessed Ashely discovering how to roll to her side, hold her head up in a baby cobra position, and hold her fingers open, instead of her usual tight fisted position. Ashley was moving her body with newfound freedom today and we're so excited for all the hope this gives us for her future independence and ability to play and interact with her world."

Megan, Mom to Ashley

Update:

In our lessons we also witnessed Ashley discover her legs and start kicking them and drawing her legs up on her own while on her belly! Way to go Ashley, I can't wait to see what you do next!

Kaiden's Story

Kaiden had a stroke when he was 2 days old and we knew from the beginning that he would have some form of Cerebral Palsy. As soon as we got Kaiden home from hospital we knew that we needed to be proactive and get him into therapy.

Alex's Story

We found out Alex had an in-utero stroke when I was 33 weeks pregnant. A few weeks after the shocking news I was told that hydrocephalus started and the prognosis of the doctors were grim:

Robyn's Story

We recently had the pleasure of taking our 9 month old daughter Robyn to see Renée. Robyn has a genetic condition that affects her motor skills and development.

Ezra's Story

Ezra has a lot of fear when it comes to new therapies or doctors from his recent journey post meningitis. Upon meeting Renée she knew she needed to work on Ezras trust for the therapy to be effective.

John's Story

Hi everyone! I just wanted to share our ABM (Anat Baniel Method) experiences with you. My son is 9 years old and has ADHD and ASD. Although he is high functioning he struggles greatly socially and with managing frustration.

Mapping his arm with Anat Baniel Method Calgary location Move Integrate

A Family I've been working with online shares an incredible moment!

"His brain was totally mapping his right arm! As I was gently holding him, he raised up his right hand looking at it with attention. Then he raised up his left one and started comparing them, slowly moving his fingers... I stepped back, stopped any movement, even my own breath slowed down and watched my big boy discovering himself. Words can't explain this feeling. It was one of the brighter moments we have ever lived together. From the bottom of my heart thank you Renée Gray. You are the most amazing partner I could ask for our learning journey. Even though we live so far away, you and your help have already made our life full of moments like this one."

Update:

Since beginning our Anat Baniel Method lessons six months ago her child has learned how to roll, belly scoot, come up to sitting and pull himself up to standing!

Before and After Lesson

In my Anat Baniel Method lessons I am able to help children reduce their spasticity which will open more opportunities for them to explore and experience new movements that were otherwise unavailable. In the first video you can clearly see the tightness in the child’s hand. I couldn’t open the hand unless I was to use force which we never do in ABM® NeuroMovement®. We know that if you work against spasticity the brain will send an even stronger message to hold it even tighter. You can see there is a lot of resistance and when I go to open the finger a slight bit, it immediately snaps back. She’s holding her hand so tight her knuckles are even turning white. After working with the hand for about 10 minutes I was able to bring her awareness to her hand and her brain was able to stop sending the message to contract the hand. She was able to let go of the tightness in her hand and even in her wrist, allowing freedom and the ability to move independently while easily staying open.

Joe had a hard time standing flat feet

He didn't feel confident trying to walk without holding onto something or someone's hand. Instead he was choosing to crawl.

Look at that smile and flat feet!

Joe is feeling much more confident and ready to try walking on his own after 4 days. He's able to bring his heals down to the floor and can even catch his balance when he starts to fall.
