I was just writing an article on naturalcures.com It occured to me that I don't always express myself well, but am always feeling so excited about my life and the career I have choosen!
Starting November 2004,I started a four year training with a women by the name of Anat Baniel! Anat, created the Anat Baniel Method! A method that is so profound and life changing that I believe every child deserves the right to be the best they can be and this method will start the process of getting them there!
The movement lessons are based on the work of Moshe Feldenkrais! Moshe was Anat's teacher and mentor for 15 years. She then has taken his lessons to a whole new level and creates changes that are not reversible, but life changing in a good way.
Even after one lesson here are some benefits the parents notice are:
- sounder sleep
- more comfortable
- more alert and aware of their surroundings and other people
- less anxiety
- more chatty and increased ability to speak
- more cheerful
- better balance
- more controlled movements, such as walking, crawling, reaching
- more focused
I am on my way to Harrison Hotsprings to see a small group of children and their families, as I am getting ready and very excited about this trip, I thought I would share with you some of the conditions I have personally worked with.
Since I work with the whole child, what the child is able to do and build on that, I may miss some conditions that I have worked with.
- Ataxia
- Austism - Austism Spectrum Disorder
- Brachial Plexus
- Cerebral Palsy
- Contractures
- Delayed Development
- Down's Syndrome
- Fragile X Syndrome
- Hypertonia
- Hypotonia
- Multiple Sclerosis
- Muscular atrophy
- Premature birth
- Rett Syndrome
- Sensory integraion dysfunction
- Spinal muscular atrophy
- Stroke
- missing genes and extra genes
Using the slow, small movements that wake up the brain, calm down their central nervous system and bring awareness to them within their bodies is so rewarding!
I really must thank Anat for doing the trainings she is doing and being honoured to have learned as I did.
If you know of anyone with a child, or could use some movement lessons to make their life much better and more managable, please do feel free to pass this information on!
I believe in this work so much that if after 3 - 5 lessons you do not see any improvement you will get your money back!
I guarentee it!!
