Summer Bookings!
Have you been thinking about trying the Anat Baniel Method? During the summer break is the perfect time because your child doesn't have all their usual activities and stresses of the school year. After your lesson take time to sleep, eat and play to help integrate all the new changes.
I am currently booking for the summer months now!

Graduate of The Anat Baniel Method Children's Mastery in Calgary. AB
After three years of studying the Anat Baniel Method I'm so proud to have officially graduated from the Children's Mastery!
It seemed like not long ago I first flew out to California for my first segment in the Basic Training to start learning the method that had helped my daughter in so many ways. I dreamed of the day that I could give her what the practitioners could and I couldn't wait to acquire their knowledge.
When I would take my daughter to her lessons I remember sitting in the little room intently watching every move the practitioner would do with her trying to understand and soak in every bit that I could. I even tried to recreate what I saw when we would go home sometimes, never getting the same outcome. I couldn't understand what I was doing different! I always wondered what they saw and how they knew what piece of the puzzle she needed.
It wasn't until I began the training that I realized there was so much more happening in her lesson than just moving her arm this way or that way. I gained even more appreciation and love from the method. I was learning to see her as a whole person, and how her entire body is connected to each movement. For example when I lift my arm up in the air, my body will shift weight, my back is involved, and even my pelvis will roll...it all works together as one fluid movement. I learned this by experiencing movement myself. In the training we spend countless hours exploring gentle movements from very basic to gradually doing more and more complicated movements as the training progressed. Feeling the movement and exploring how this versus that feels or how placing a foot here rather than there can make a huge difference. I learned that movement should feel good and be easy and I finally understand what the other practitioners saw!
So now with the inner feeling and experience of what a movement should feel like I'm able to guide others to feel it themselves so they can recreate it too. I started this for my daughter but now I've developed a love for helping others and can't wait to start my new life as a practitioner for the Children with Special needs.

Anat Baniel Method in Calgary, Alberta Canada
My name is Renee Gray. I am a certified Anat Baniel Method Practitioner giving NeuroMovement lessons to Children and Adults in Calgary, Alberta Canada.
My life began a new journey when our beautiful daughter Leila was born eight years ago. Our excitement was quickly replaced with fear as we soon realized our daughter had a very serious medical condition that caused her to have Global Delay, Cerebral Palsy and an extreme form of epilepsy called Lennox Gastaut Syndrome. After receiving a very grim prognosis I decided I needed to do everything in my power to give her the best possible life I could.
We started right away with many different types of therapies, but none gave us the outcomes we were hoping for. Many methods were painful and stressful for Leila. It really broke my heart to think this was what her future was, but then thankfully we found an Anat Baniel Method Practitioner and I regained hope. For the first time Leila enjoyed her sessions and she was progressing! I was one happy mom!
By the time we found the Anat Baniel Method, Leila was already 5 years old and she had started school full time. Our nearest practitioner was close to an hour away so it made it difficult to go on a regular basis. That's when I made the life altering decision to become an Anat Baniel Method Practitioner also known as a NeuroMovement Practitioner.
I have dedicated three years into studying the Anat Baniel Method and graduated as a NeuroMovement practitioner in 2015. I continued my training with the Children's Mastery and will graduate in May 2016.
I am beyond thrilled to begin working with families and their children, facilitating new and exciting possibilities!
