I’ve worked with people with Neurological conditions for over a decade, and I am constantly inspired by them and their journey.
My Neuro-Movement sessions and client programs are specifically designed for individuals with Parkinson’s Disease, Multiple Sclerosis, and Spinal Cord Injury. Other individuals with neurological conditions such as Stroke, Neuropathy, Fibromyalgia also benefit from Neuro-Movement sessions.
Neuro-Movement is a personalized exercise program that includes emphasis on challenging the brain through movement and games. A combination of Pilates, functional training (squatting, lunging, bending, walking), and brain games are used.
These programs promote neuroplasticity in the brain (the brain's ability to reorganize itself by forming new neural connections) and keeps the body balanced . Neuro-Movement workouts also increase strength, stability, balance (fall prevention), flexibility, posture and can help with symptom management.
My exercise programs are customized to your individual need and goals. Here is what some of my Neuro-Movement clients have said.
“Michaela has taught me how to connect with my body better.“

I firmly believe exercise should be accessible for all, and everyone deserves to live life to the fullest, no matter what their challenges are.
