For Families
Relational Support for Families Navigating Neurodiversity, Disability, and Complex Health Needs
Supporting a child with neurodiversity, disability, or complex health needs can feel overwhelming, emotional, and deeply isolating at times. Families are often navigating not only therapies, medical systems, and uncertainty, but also the emotional impact these experiences can have on their identity, relationships, and daily lives.
My work supports both children and caregivers through relational, neuroscience-informed, and family-centered approaches that recognize the profound connection between a child’s development and the environments surrounding them.
Through the Anat Baniel Method® NeuroMovement®, transformational and conscious parenting coaching, and educational support, I help families create conditions where children can grow, participate, connect, and thrive—while also supporting caregivers in finding greater clarity, regulation, confidence, and self-understanding along the journey.
For your Child
Anat Baniel Method® (ABM) NeuroMovement®
NeuroMovement® lessons use gentle, neuroplasticity-based movement to support learning, awareness, participation, and functional development.
Sessions are individualized to your child’s unique needs and may support:
- movement and coordination
- body awareness and posture
- communication and engagement
- cognitive and emotional development
- flexibility, balance, and strength
- confidence, participation, and self-expression
Lessons are offered in-person through individual sessions and workshops.
For Parents
Parent Coaching & Relational Support
Parenting a child with complex needs can bring grief, fear, overwhelm, uncertainty, and emotional exhaustion. It can also profoundly reshape how we understand ourselves, our children, and the future we imagined.
Through coaching and relational support, I help parents:
- navigate emotional overwhelm and uncertainty
- process grief, fear, and identity shifts
- develop greater regulation and self-awareness
- strengthen connection with their child
- move beyond deficit-based narratives
- create more relational and supportive home environments
- feel more empowered in navigating healthcare, education, and caregiving systems
This work is not about becoming a perfect parent.
It is about becoming a more connected, grounded, and attuned one.
Sessions are available virtually worldwide.
For Parent Groups
Workshops & Educational Conversations
Workshops for parent groups, organizations, and communities are available virtually or in person and can be tailored to the needs of participants.
Topics may include:
- conscious and relational parenting
- nervous-system-aware caregiving
- supporting children with neurodiversity and disability
- emotional regulation and co-regulation
- caregiver wellbeing and resilience
- creating relational environments for learning and participation
- navigating diagnosis and uncertainty
My Approach
My work bridges lived caregiver experience, neuroscience, relational practice, and pediatric rehabilitation.
I believe that children develop within relationships and environments—and that when caregivers feel supported, regulated, and empowered, they are better able to create conditions where children can learn, participate, connect, and express their unique strengths.
Rather than focusing only on outcomes or limitations, my work emphasizes connection, emotional safety, awareness, participation, and possibility.
You Are Not Alone
If you are navigating this journey, I want you to know that there is space for both grief and hope, challenge and connection, uncertainty and growth.
You do not have to carry it all alone.
My hope is to support families in feeling more seen, grounded, and empowered while helping create environments where both children and caregivers can thrive.

Why ABM® NeuroMovement®?
The Anat Baniel Method® NeuroMovement® uses gentle, neuroscience-informed movement lessons to support the brain’s ability to learn, adapt, and create new possibilities for movement, communication, participation, and awareness.
How It Works
Through individualized movement lessons, I guide your child in exploring new patterns of movement and awareness that support the brain’s natural capacity for neuroplasticity—the ability to form new connections and discover new possibilities.
Lessons are co-created with your child, meeting them where they are while encouraging curiosity, engagement, confidence, and self-discovery.
Over time, children may experience:
- improved fine and gross motor skills
- greater balance, coordination, and posture

Every child’s experience is unique. The goal of this work is not simply to improve function, but to support the child as a whole person—helping create opportunities for learning, participation, connection, and growth.
