Abi’s introduction to ABM® NeuroMovement® came after her daughter was born prematurely at 24 weeks and later diagnosed with dystonic cerebral palsy and cortical visual impairment. After months in neonatal care and traditional therapies that yielded limited progress, Abi began searching for an approach that truly addressed the brain’s role in recovery.

When her daughter experienced her first ABM® intensive in 2018, the change was immediate — she was more comfortable, responsive, and engaged. For Abi, it was a turning point that reshaped her understanding of learning and possibility. She enrolled in practitioner training soon after and has since completed the Children’s Mastery certification.

Abi works hands-on with adults and leads Transformational Movement Lessons (TMLs) for the wider UK ABM® community. Her approach combines attentiveness and precision, helping each client sense differences and develop new organisation in movement and thought.

Parents often describe Abi’s lessons as calm yet deeply impactful — a space where learning unfolds naturally through connection and awareness.

“Real change begins when we stop pushing for results and start listening to what’s already there.”
