An event in her personal life in 2011 sparked her passion to help parents push their limits and share her knowledge and experience.

“After the intensive with Linda, our daughter's body structure completely changed, she became much faster and slimmer. The former swelling of the whole body is perhaps definitely a thing of the past. Now she is much smarter, she goes to the toilet on her own and gets up from the floor and gets dressed and undressed better."

"My daughter and I were on an intensive stay with lecturer Marianne Nellisen. She is an amazingly kind and empathetic lady, my daughter literally "purred" with her well-being, her knowledge is really broad, I received a lot of advice, I noticed minor changes in behavior already during my stay. We have been riding regularly for several months now and we can see progress."

Nilay Ersen

Nilay discovered ABM Neuromovement® in 2016 when she was looking for ways to help her son with neurodevelopmental difficulties. After completing her first ABM intensive at the ABM Neuromovement® Center in San Rafael, California, she decided to change careers and embarked on the path of ABM Neuromovement® training with Anat in the USA in October 2017.

Michiel Pluimers

We first came into contact with ABM Neuromovement in 2012. Our son had suffered significant brain damage and we were looking for a complementary additional way to the regular healthcare to help him to improve in his development. By chance we received the book Kids beyond limits written by Anat Baniel and I got in touch with brain plasticity and Neuromovement for the first time.

Since our son started getting ABM lessons, he has made significant progress. We have seen developments that both we as parents and his doctors certainly did not expect. I was also impressed by the scientific basis underlying Neuromovement.

In 2017, I started the practitionertraining with Anat Baniel to help my son and later other people through Neuromovement. Now I'm a Certified ABM Neuromovement Practitioner for adults and children since 2019 and I enjoy helping my clients and the families around them to make the steps in their development.

Dana Horáčková

Dana is a physiotherapist and Feldenkrais practitioner®️ with international accreditation

As a physiotherapist, she completed a number of courses and learned something from all of them. But she was fundamentally influenced by Clara Lewit's approach known as Functional Physiotherapy, emphasizing the importance of self - perception. "The quality of coordination corresponds to the quality of perception". The meeting with the Feldenkrais method determined the definitive direction in which he wanted to go next. Since 2015, she has been going to regular seminars and workshops under the leadership of Mrs. Jitka Nagy, who was instrumental in implementing the first FM training in our country under the leadership of trainers Roger Russell, a direct student of Feldenkrais, and Ulla Schlafke, of whom she is a graduate.

He works with adults and children from 6 months.

"We have had a total of 3 lessons with Ms. Horáčková and we are excited! Not only was it a beautiful spectacle, when Mrs. Dana was able to connect beautifully with her son, but above all we notice the great progress that happened immediately after the lesson...and is still happening! Thank you.”

Monika Šabartová

Her life's journey led from study and practice in the field of acting, through teaching yoga and yoga therapy, to the opportunity to undergo training in the Feldenkrais® method. In the years 2018 - 2022, I completed Feldenkrais® Training Prague 1 (accredited training in the Czech Republic). This opened a path for her that she never dreamed of. With the support of Petra Oswaldová, she started working with children with special needs after her training. The lessons it offers take place in a home environment where families live and where children feel comfortable and safe. They have enough time and peace to explore different movement options together. Meeting mothers and their children fills her with joy and hope that the quality of movement, and thus the quality of life, can be improved at any age.

Ilona Filipkowska

Ilona is a Polish practitioner of the Feldenkrais and Movement Lesson methods and has been working mainly with children since 2017.

“Ilona is a great lecturer. A pleasant woman, kind, smiling at us. My son calmed down a lot after the intensive. After 4 days we left with a smile on our faces. I can definitely recommend the Feldenkrais method.”

“Many thanks to Ilona for her lessons. Only a few lessons helped Filipek to generally calm down and now he shows more emotions, he wants to hug himself. I tried part of the lesson myself and I must say that I felt much better, with a light head."

Łukasz Kapuscinski

Lukáš is a Polish Movement Lesson Practitioner who has been helping children and adults with various difficulties for several years. He enjoys seeing the release of muscle tension and the sense of relief in the eyes of the person he is working with. He is of the opinion that the Movement Lesson method, based on the Feldenkrais method, is the best help that can be offered to someone.

He describes himself as having a high level of sensory perception, which he has turned into the ability to perceive in others what others may not notice. He tries to help where others give up.

"After the intensive with Lukáš, our son calmed down a lot, he concentrates better and started pointing, thank you!"
