Facilitation
Meet the team of practitioners and facilitators with years of experience with children with disabilities.
-
My name is Juan Carlos Concha. I am a certified ABM or NeuroMovement® practitioner (science based and state of the art hands-on application on brain plasticity). In my practice across the world, I use touch and movement since 2011 to unfold the natural tendency of the brain to create new patterns of functioning, helping children and adults to grow beyond their pain and limitations.
-
With my background as a psychomotor therapist and my experience in swimming with children with motor disabilities, I have long been fascinated by movement. The scientific foundation of NeuroMovement®, based on the principles of brain plasticity and the remarkable results achieved with it, immediately captivated me and motivated me to help children with disabilities reach their developmental potential.
-
I am an ABM NeuroMovement® Practitioner based in Ålesund, Norway. The last 10 years my work and interest have centered around movement and facilitating learning for adults and children. I love NeuroMovement® because it honors each persons unique way of developing. It creates the space to safely connect to ourselves, others and life in general. I look forward to connecting with you all.

As a physiotherapist working at the Hoogstraat in Utrecht, and with a master's degree in Movement Sciences, I specialize in rehabilitation. Since I was fifteen, I have been helping children and adults with various disabilities as a personal supervisor. As the driving force behind Moving Beyond Limits, I believe that every individual has potential that we may not initially see or dare to dream.
“"In 2024, our family went to Mallorca for the NeuroMovement intensive for our son Lex. It was a wonderful week. The 10 lessons brought about beautiful steps in his development. And the peace – not having to do anything, no other obligations – around the NeuroMovement lessons did him a lot of good. NeuroMovement was the main reason for participating in the retreat. However, as a family, we also greatly enjoyed the week together and the connection with other families."
Laura from The Netherlands
“It was a special week, where we worked hard on Thomas's development in a warm and supportive environment. We had wonderful encounters with other parents, children, and therapists who worked with great expertise with our children. We can see that Thomas has made beautiful progress in his development—he is more relaxed, more focused, and vocalizing more sounds. We would love to come again soon!”
Laura (52) from the Netherlands
“No travel time and naps between the lessons are ideal for my little son, Louie. Every single time, we see beautiful steps of cognitive development after a week of NeuroMovement”
David (40) from The Netherlands
