Amajoy: Developmental Movement&and Body Center

"I want the play lady"

...expressed a young boy, one of Amajoy's regular visitors, when he was unable to attend visits with Ms. Grubinger

for several weeks. This expression of excitement is one of the many comments that enthusiastically support Amajoy.

"Our 3 yr old suffered a brain injury & nerve damage during birth, leaving

him with low muscle tone and profound muscle control impairment on

his left side. He had been receiving regular occupational and physical

therapy through the state's Early Intervention program since he was a

newborn. We started taking him to Amajoy when he was a year old.

At the time he had not started to roll over and was significantly behind

in physical development. Having no prior experience with this kind of

injury we learned as we went. After taking our son to Lenore for a few

sessions we started to understand more of what we needed to be doing.

Lenore guided my son, my wife & I in the natural cues that our son needed

to move his body, building key muscles & reflexes to advance his abilities.

Our son started to make progress and excelled at Amajoy. We found peace

in throwing out the time table & guiding our son through the natural

progressions of development so he could acquire unassisted movement.

We are grateful for Amajoy and we continue to come & refine movement"

"Our baby with Noonan Syndrome cried constantly and always arched back since birth. We were told there was little

chance she would ever walk or talk. Our first visit with Lenore changed her in a positive way beyond our hopes. We were

amazed to see her gains after each session -- and she loved going to Lenore's! We learned to work together so that now,

at two and a half years old, our girl enjoys talking, running and even hopping. We want other families in need to know of

this loving, practical work ."

The Crawford-Chapman Family

"Our son was severely ill at the age of 6 months. He had low tone and could barely lift his hands to pick up an object. He

didn?t look at us at close range and rarely smiled. Experts talked about mental retardation and autism. After our first

visit with Lenore, our baby was waving his hands in the air -- he had never done that before! Now, six months later, he is

a master of eye contact and walks with support. He delights us with his wonderful sense of humor and high intelligence.

We are deeply grateful and want other parents to learn this phenomenal work!"

The Stacey-Resnick Family

"Following Lenore's recommendation, we put a rope in the basement and outside on the swingset, and Dad and Wilder

have been playing and having lots of fun! We've been getting a few more repetitive two word phrases, too! We always

have a surge of positive behaviors after we visit with Lenore."
