Margie Murnan - Helping Kids thrive and Adults feel More Youthful Since 2009
Margie is an amazing healer - a wise and experienced practitioner of the unique Anat Baniel Method. I came to see Margie for back/shoulder pain and decreasing overall mobility. She was able to quickly observe multiple functional movement problems and recommend simple yet incredibly effective solutions. Now I am regaining years of lost mobility and function - all without surgery or drugs! I highly recommend Margie for any chronic musculoskeletal pain that other practitioners have not been able to solve - she will deliver!

I was having sciatic nerve pain on the right side of my back Also, pain radiated down into my groin which hindered my ability to walk properly which led to further back problems because I was compensating for the pain. The sciatic pinch in my right side is gone. Total relief, after 3 visits. Thank you!

Thanks to your work I remain free of the knee pains which were my constant companions. I am so very grateful that I can do many more activities pain free. The awareness you have given me about how the body can stand, sit, move efficiently has literally been a God send. All of the exercises you have taught me have been safe to do and extremely beneficial. I value everything you have taught me, since you have given me the tools to help myself regain pain free movement. Your enthusiasm for promoting wellness inspires me. Thank you for being such a wonderful blessing.

I’m a high level paraplegic, which means I’m paralyzed from the armpits down and use a wheelchair full time. I met Margie Murnan at wheelchair dancing, where she was my dance partner!
Initially I was seeing her for shoulder pain, which she very quickly helped reduce. But I keep going back because she has continued to show me new ways to position my body in my wheelchair to do ordinary activities, like getting in and out of the car and washing dishes, that reduce strain on my neck and shoulders.
I’ve learned that although I can’t deliberately move my lower body, I have to treat my body as a whole, to move my arms in ways to keep them connected. One of the exercises she taught me I do every morning when I wake up, because it keeps me from having a stiff neck each day. Several other exercises help maintain my shoulder range of motion. They make my body feel good which is the ONLY way I want to exercise.
Margie is a professional in all ways, and the method she uses is amazing. I highly recommend her.

Five years ago a small fender bender ruptured my carotid artery, resulting in a massive stroke and paralyzing my left side. I never regained the use of my left arm and have done every kind of therapy.
Margie has been helping me to wake up my left arm. It’s so exciting to actually feel bursts of energy in my left arm! I call them “twingles”. I am learning new things about how my body is wired and unlearning habits that don’t serve me.
Some of the most interesting and significant things that have changed since working with Margie are:
My left hand has softened and is no longer in a clenched position all day.
I am moving in ways I have not been able to move in years.
I am also able to synchronize my movements better.

My complaints were pain shooting down my leg and pain in my chest, neck and shoulders.
My pain has been reduced to where I'm not so constricted and able to walk. I feel my anxiety over my pain has lifted and I have hope to be able live without intense pain. I learned a variety of movements to help my body to remember what it was like before my accident. I am now able to spend more time with my children. I have a better understanding of how my body works.
Margie has helped me a great deal! She's very knowledgeable and understanding. But most of all, her method helps and makes a difference!

Even though the doctor's diagnosis told us there was nothing else we could do for our son because of the extensive cerebral damage he suffered we took him for his first movement lesson. We saw improvements immediately. His breathing improved, and he was a totally different self. He began to completely relax which was a big improvement. His legs relaxed and he started flexing them.
We tried other methods, but all of it seemed impossible. We were in awe after seeing such change in him. With other methods we saw no substantial change whatsoever. His participation in the sessions is very notable because he makes gestures and sounds, in his own way, showing his joy for learning.
We know that with this method our son is on the right path to develop his full potential, We see him comfortable with himself and showing much attention to learning new things. It is definitely worth giving this method a chance, despite the medical diagnosis.

Our son has Cerebral Palsy and is working on balance, body awareness, fluidity in motion, proper gait, full range of motion in joints and separating limbs from each other when excited.
Parker is more fluid in his movements and is no longer in pain. He has better alignment and coordination. He looks taller and is looser. He has flexible ankles! His balance and gait have improved. He is able to go without his AFO’s in standing and walking for short periods of time. He sits up smoother. He is also happier with his new found freedom of movement.
Update on Parker...
Parker made a video for a school project that speaks for itself! You can watch it here.

Isaac’s diagnosis of Tay Sachs Disease was at the age of 7 months.
Isaac has gotten more out of his 3 sessions a month with Margie from Lessons in Motion than he did with multiple OT and PT visits weekly. While PT and OT kept him loose and entertained, with Margie he has started really connecting to his body again. He bridges his hips to help with diaper changes. This is huge! Today, she worked on that low back that he keeps so stiff and he was able to start arching it to correlate with bending arms and legs. Building blocks to crawling motions!
He also looked so much better in side sitting than last session. Last session he was still stiff and kept bringing that right knee in the air no matter which side he was sitting on. This time he looked comfortable, rooted in his pelvis and legs and yet so much taller! Amazing!
