WHY about neurological conditions/ movement disorders?
A personal insight why Noemi - the founder of Beyond Move is so passionate about helping and working with people with movement disorders, living with long life conditions.
WHY about neurological conditions/ movement disorders?
Alert! This might be long!
I was about 9 or 10 in this picture, and you perhaps can see that my grandad’s facial expression is a little motionless. That is because he had Parkinson’s disease (secondary Parkinsonism) at that time. He deteriorated quickly, but I didn’t see him that way.
As a child I was a daydreamer... and I pretended to be his teacher 💙 because everyone felt clueless. No one knew what to do and how to help him. He was trapped in his body.
And oh god, he did everything for me! I mean whatever I asked him; he gave it a go. Climbing up on a bicycle - and I timed him and recorded his progress too 😆 We went swimming, exercised by walking up & down on stairs 💕 at a later stage I gave him his medication and also helped feeding him.
I was a kind ‘teacher’, I massaged his back after exercise and we also over listened to some kind of Russian healer/meditation tape - parallel translated to Hungarian and 99% we ended up with a nap 💤
You must feel from this that I felt so special, so so special & empowered!
And of course this memory stayed with me. I felt like a Whisperer - you know who understands wild horses and guides them 💕
Life guided me to study at the international Peto Institute (instead of studying psychology). This training and practice helped me to gain knowledge and understanding of movement disorders and how to help people living with these conditions to keep moving, stay motivated, active and independent!
So this was the first why and the initiation to start Beyond Move. We want to make accessible and great classes for all, including people with physical disabilities.
We want people to feel confident, move well and stay independent!
With Love,
Noemi x
