Have questions?

Whether you're curious about what to expect, wondering if this approach is right for you or your child, or simply exploring how brain-centered movement can help, you'll find answers to common questions below.

Who can benefit from this work?

Honestly, this work is for anyone looking to improve mobility, reduce pain, and enhance physical performance. People come to this work for a variety of reasons, including:

  • Active individuals who want to move more efficiently and comfortably

  • People experience stiffness, pain, or limited mobility looking for more freedom in movement

  • Those recovering from injuries, strokes, or surgeries or seeking alternatives to surgery

  • Individuals who feel clumsy or uncoordinated and want better body awareness

  • High performers (athletes, dancers, musicians) aiming to reduce pain and enhance movement efficiency

  • Older adults who want to prevent falls and stay active

  • People with neurological conditions (Parkinson's, cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, brain injury, etc.)

  • Parents of children with development delays, autism, scoliosis, or muscle tone concerns

If you are unsure whether this is right for you, reach out for a consultation to discuss your needs!

What happens in a group movement lesson?

Group Movement Lessons involve slow, gentle movements with guided verbal instructions. These sessions are designed to:

  • Improve movement efficiency through mindful attention

  • Help your brain create new, more effective movement patterns

  • Include rest periods to allow for deeper learning and integration

    • What to expect:

  • Movements are often done lying down or sitting but can be adapted to your comfort level

  • Accommodations are available for different abilities

  • There is no exercise, no stretching, and nothing forceful or physically strenous

  • This is a brain-based approach—not a workout—so effort is replaced with attention and awareness

  • Some people feel surprisingly tired afterward—not from physical exertion, but because the brain has been working in new ways

This kind of fatigue is normal and often followed by deeper rest, a sense of calm, or a new burst of energy later on.

What happens in an individual movement lesson?

Individual lessons offer the fastest and most personalized progress. During a session:

  • You’ll lie fully clothed on a low table while I use gentle, precise movements to engage your brain

  • I’ll guide your attention to how your body moves, helping your brain reorganize for more ease and efficiency

  • Many people experience immediate improvements in pain relief, flexibility, balance, and overall comfort

These personalized sessions are great for deep, lasting changes and accelerating your progress.

What should I wear to a lesson?

For the best experience wear:

  • Loose, comfortable clothing (yoga pants or long pants preferred)

  • Dry, clean socks (shoes will be removed)

  • Avoid tight clothing, skirts, low-cut tops, or anything restrictive

  • Please do not wear perfume or scented lotions

What if I need to cancel?

I understand that life happens! If you need to cancel, please provide as much notice as possible. 

Cancellations with less than 24 hours' notice will be charged the full session fee (except for emergencies).

For children's sessions: If your child is sick or has had a rough night, you may cancel without charge, but please provide as much notice as possible.

How can I get the most out of my session?

These personalized sessions are great for deep, lasting changes and accelerating your progress. After your lesson, here are a few things you can do to integrate the changes for the greatest impact:

  • Take a short walk to help your brain and body integrate the changes.

    Moving in a real-world context right after a lesson gives your system a chance to apply and reinforce new patterns, making the learning more lasting and functional.

  • Stay curious about how you move throughout the day.

    Notice even the smallest shifts—in comfort, mood, energy, or ease of movement. Changes might show up in unexpected places, but paying attention to them helps your brain solidify the new patterns so they stick around.

  • Ease back into activities—don't push too hard too soon.

    It's common to feel so much better after a lesson that you want to dive right back into everything full speed.

    But giving yourself time to re-enter activities gradually helps reinforce the new neural connections.

    If you push too hard too soon, it's easy for old patterns to sneak back in before the new ones have a chance to take hold.

  • Before bed, revisit the lesson in your mind.

    Gently visualize the movements you explored, imagining them with ease, comfort, and fluidity. You can even try a few slowly and gently in bed to calm your nervous system.

    This simple practice can be a peaceful and effective way to wind down and fall asleep faster.

  • Stay consistent—regular lessons yield to lasting transformation.

    By staying engaged in the process, you give yourself the opportunity to build new, beneficial movement patterns—rather than unconsciously slipping back into old habits that no longer serve you.

    Consistency helps reinforce these positive changes so they become your new normal.

How often should I come in for a lesson?

The frequency of your lessons depends on your goals.

  • For new clients: Start with 4-6 lessons spaced closely together (ideally within a few weeks) to give your brain the best chance to learn and retain new patterns.

    New neural connections are fragile at first, and it's easy to slip back into old movement habits without reinforcement.

    A short series helps you strengthen those new pathways and gives you a clear sense of how this work can benefit you.

  • For ongoing growth: Weekly or biweekly lessons help reinforce and deepen the changes you've made.
    As you start moving with more ease and feeling more youthful, many people experience a renewed sense of vitality.

    Continued lessons—whether individual or in a group—can further enhance your mobility, clarity of thinking, and ability to learn new skills. Staying consistent with 1–2 sessions per week is a powerful way to support long-term transformation.

  • For specific issues: An intensive series (several lessons within a week) can jumpstart progress and provide your brain with a concentrated boost of new information.

How often should my child receive lessons?

For children, I recommend an intensive approach:

  • 4-10 lessons in 1-2 weeks (e.g., over a weekend or school break)

  • Two lessons per day with at least 1-hour break between sessions. Each lesson may last between 20-45 minutes, depending on the age and attention span of your child.

  • Followed by a month-long integration period before the next series

This method helps "flood" the nervous system with new information while allowing time for integration at home.

What are the long term-benefits of this work?

For adults, consistent lessons can lead to:

  • Better balance, coordination, and flexibility

  • Less pain and tension

  • Increased energy and sense of well-being

  • Greater ease in daily activities

  • Improved ability to enjoy favorite activities and learn new skills

  • Clearer thinking and sharper mental focus

    • Each person's progress is unique, but changes often build over time for lasting transformation.

    For children, ongoing lessons support:

  • Greater mobility and coordination

  • Improved posture, balance, and body awareness

  • Enhanced verbal skills

  • Cognitive growth and clearer thinking

  • Boosted confidence and self-esteem

  • Stronger learning abilities—becoming more curious, focused, and capable learners

  • Increased independence in daily activities

  • Better emotional regulation

  • More restful sleep

You can expect to see progress with each group of lessons. That said, every child is unique, with his own pace, needs, and challenges—so the timing of visible changes may vary.

Staying patient, positive, and meeting your child exactly where she is in each moment is key to supporting meaningful, lasting growth.

How can I help my child get the most out of each session?

  • Ensure he is well-fed before the lesson and bring a snack for afterward. The brain consumes a lot of energy when it's learning new things, and kids will get hungry.

  • Let her have free play time after the session to naturally integrate learning into functional activities

  • Observe small changes—every change matters. Even subtle improvements are signs that your child's brain is learning and adapting. What seems minor to us may be a key building block for more noticeable progress.
    Sometimes, changes may appear unrelated to the movements explored in the lesson, but because the brain organizes the whole body, transformation can show up in unexpected ways.

  • Schedule lessons at a time when he is alert and ready to learn

  • Avoid scheduling on days with other therapies, especially physical therapy

  • Avoid scheduling when she tired or not feeling well

Can I refer friends and family?

    Absolutely! If you know someone struggling with movement, pain, or performance issues, please send them my way.

  • Referral Bonus: When someone you refer completes a paid session, you'll receive 50% off your next lesson as a "thank you" for spreading the word!

Can I use insurance or an HSA/FSA to pay for sessions?

    At this time, ABM® NeuroMovement® is not covered by insurance in the U.S., as it is classified as somatic education rather than a medical treatment.

    However, upon request, I can provide a detailed invoice that you may submit to your insurance provider for possible out-of-network reimbursement at their discretion.

    In some cases, clients may be able to use a Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flexible Spending Account (FSA) to pay for sessions.

    To qualify, you’ll likely need a Letter of Medical Necessity from your doctor or physical therapist, stating that this method supports a current medical condition. When in doubt, check directly with your provider.

    Please note: While this route may be possible, I am not aware of any clients or practitioners who have successfully received reimbursement through HSA/FSA accounts for ABM® sessions.

What makes this approach different from other therapies?

    Unlike many traditional therapies that focus on "fixing" the area of pain or difficulty, this brain-centered movement method works by engaging the entire nervous system—not just the problem spot.

    Pain or limitation often reflects deeper patterns of disorganization throughout the body. Instead of isolating the issue, this approach helps the brain create new, more efficient connections that improve how the whole body works together.

    By gently redirecting attention and movement, we support the brain’s natural ability to reorganize, adapt, and improve function—often leading to surprising and lasting changes that go far beyond the original issue.
