What is Anat Baniel Method® Neuromovement®?

Anat Baniel Method® NeuroMovement® harnesses the power of brain plasticity to heal, improve learning, overcome pain and limitations, and make life easier. The method uses gentle movement with awareness and the 9 Essentials® as tools to develop, enhance, or restore one’s functional abilities. However, unlike conventional physical therapy interventions and other modalities, this method shifts the focus away from the “problem areas” to where the solutions actually lie, the brain.

ABM upgrades the entire body's system and can help with a wide range of areas. Some of the specific areas that ABM helps with are listed below, however, these lists are not exhaustive.

This work is beneficial for high performers and whole-body health. It helps anyone who wants to improve their fitness level, creative, emotional, cognitive abilities and overall quality of life.

*Behavioural intervention services are provided for children/teens diagnosed with ASD, as laid out by the BC Ministry of Children and Families, and in accordance with the family and intervention plans. This method helps helps support the brain in making sense of what is perceived and felt. We do not seek to “fix” the child, rather we look to connect to the child and serve as a bridge for the child to connect with him or herself. This method strives not for an outcome, but for a process of engaged learning starting with where the child is. This is very different from so many therapies which aim to produce certain functions, without building the person up through richly varied subtle experience so that they have a foundation for allowing their brains to figure out how to produce these functions themselves.

"Tanya is incredibly talented at what she does and seems to have a natural and gentle ability to connect with her client's needs. I first began ABM session with Tanya back in June of 2017 when I had to take an unexpected leave from work. I did long sessions, short sessions, intensives or every few days and no matter what type of appointment I always left feeling calmer and more in my body. My anxiety was quite bad at the time I began my ABM sessions and I regularly struggled to leave the house. My appointments with Tanya were often the one thing that I felt able to do outside of my home. Though my symptoms are no longer as extreme as before, I still continue to participate in Tanya's group classes and an occasional private session as I feel it helps me to ground and reset. I would highly recommend ABM, especially, but not exclusively, for people who are seeking a more gentle form of healing."
