Most of us in the Family Grit community have a deeply felt interest in learning about the brain, the consequences of brain injury, and what can be done through movement to make our lives better. Although our focus as parents is always going to veer towards our kids, our own physical and mental health needs to be supported, tended, and enhanced. One of the most valuable ways we can do this, is to take time to learn about movement and the brain. This is a journey that will produce positive results in every area of your life, in ease of movement, pain reduction, stress reduction, and improvement in vision, listening, thinking, planning, and many other areas of life that help us live in an engaged and meaningful way. This is Dr. Mike favorite pathway of study, and he encourages all members of the Family Grit community to engage with him in this powerful exploration.
To prepare himself to deliver this learning to the Family Grit community, Dr. Mike has spent several decades personally studying and exploring the world of movement and brain science with leaders in the field like Anat Baniel, Dr. Mike Merzenich, Dr. Dan Siegel, Dr. Lou Cozolino, Michelle Vine, certified ABM practitioner, Dr. Robert Melillo, Dr. Datis Kharazian, Dr. Dara Marks, and many others. Dr. Mike did this first of all for himself and his family, but has gone much more deeply into the subject of brain science in order to bring this knowledge to our Family Grit community.
When you choose to engage the Movement and Brain for Family Health pathway, you are making a decision that will bring you face to face with your own deep and positive energy reserves, with the sources of your self compassion and empathy for others. This pathway is the real deal.
In order to take this pathway, here are the initial steps.
- Complete the Movement and Brain intake form and send it to Helena. Helena will forward this to Dr. Mike and he will review it carefully prior to your consultation.
- Reserve your appointment time through Helena. All appointments must be made and paid for 3 days prior to the date of the consultation.
- When you make your first appointment, you will be sent 3 short videos to orient you to the subject we will be discussing - Movement and your Brain and how you can help your family flourish. You will improve your relationships, movement, thinking, decision making and vitality.
Dr. Mike truly relishes the content in this pathway, and his enthusiasm and interest in learning about learning will be apparent. As you do the work together, you will become more competent at teaching others about the brain and movement, including your family, friends, school aides, educators, physicians, and people in your community who become interested in how the lives of individuals in our communities are made better and more resilient through movement.
