Welcome!

Hello, I’m Silvia.

I began my journey in the sciences, I studied Chemistry in Austria, worked for many years in the pharmaceutical industry. After the birth of my child I studied with Anat Baniel and built my ABM® practice for kids with special needs and adults in Germany.

As a mother whose family has greatly benefitted from working with many practitioners, I appreciate the effectiveness and quality of Anat Baniel’s rigorous training.

In my ABM® practice in New York I guide parents and clients in their health journey - to reduce pain, (re)gain mobility, and live fuller, freer lives.

ABM® sees the complexity in each person and doesn’t focus on the limitations- shifting away from “fixing” problems to connecting with your inner wisdom.

ABM® Supports Clients With many challenges. Including but not limited to:

• Meeting Childhood Milestones

• Developmental Delays

• Cerebral Palsy

• ADHD/ Autism

• Genetic Conditions

• Stroke/ Injury Recovery

• Chronic Pain

• Trauma

Because there is so much information about ABM NeuroMovement® my goal for this site is to support you in your learning journey.

If you are reading this, I hope the links, books, videos, and the FREE GUIDE that I have included on this this website bring clarity and comfort.

I am always available to talk about ABM NeuroMovement®, to support you, and to answer questions you may have. If you are interested in booking a session or joining a group, please contact me.

As a mother of a special needs child, I can see the impact of ABM® every day.

Warmly,

Silvia

—Norman Doidge, MD, Author of "The Brain That Changes Itself "and "The Brain’s Way of Healing"

“Following in the footsteps of the revolutionary scientist Moshe Feldenkrais, the greatest thinker about how to improve movement in the 20th Century, Baniel shows why our mainstream approach to these children is often wrong, and at times damaging, because they train children to ‘ape’ developmental milestones they are not developmentally ready to meet.”

“The approach here, far wiser, far more subtle, truly holistic, far more ingenious, far more in accord with how brain development occurs, shows ways to access the child’s own brain plasticity and yields far greater results, so that the children can spontaneously grow from within.”

“I know because I have observed Baniel’s little patients on multiple visits, and time after time, I have seen children whose parents were told their brain-damaged children would never walk, or talk, or be able to think well or regulate themselves, begin to do just that with this gentle technique. I have seen the peace on the faces of these children as their minds and plastic brains suddenly begin to integrate what they have learned for the first time, the explosion of joy at their first steps and watched them grow and become more independent.”

Dr. Michael Merzenich, Professor Emeritus, UCSF, Kavli Laureate in Neuroscience

“Anat Baniel explains how the great principles that govern the operations of a brain built for change can be practically applied to set up a child for continuous growth."

"Once the child you love is on that positive growth path, every little advance can be truly exciting for them, and for you.”

“I have spent much of my own scientific career trying to understand how we can harness our capacity for brain remodeling for the benefit of children and adults in need of neurological help.”

“From several decades of research, summarized in many thousands of published reports, we scientists have defined the ‘rules’ governing brain plasticity in neurological terms. We now know how to drive brains to change for the better."

"It has been a great wonder to me, then, that my friend Anat Baniel, working in parallel along a completely different path, has defined almost exactly the same rules.”

“Moreover, Anat interprets them here in practical and understandable human terms, in ways that should contribute richly to your own more enlightened parenting, grand-parenting, or clinical intervention.”

First time sleeping Pain Free in Months!! I had my first session with Silvia yesterday in New York City. She explained to me the Nine Essentials, and walked me through how the Anat Baniel Method could improve my life. I have another session tomorrow and excited about ongoing sessions. For the first time in months I slept pain free! Just Remarkable!!

I have chronic pain, and I found Silvia when I was looking for a way to have a more fulfilling life. I took part in her online TML Courses for several months. Silvia has a knack for conveying that “it is good the way it is” “but you can also go a little further” -- this was the reach and mindset I was looking for!

Our Son has Cerebral Palsy. At the age of two he could not pick up toys and was spastic. In March 2023 we worked with Silvia daily, and noticed a big transformation in just two months!

Under Silvia’s guidance, our son’s hands gained mobility, he grabbed toys for the first time, and he began turning over. His spastic improved.

Sylvia's dedicated sessions yielded these fantastic gains. We could not be more grateful for her help and hope to continue working with her in the future!

My Mom had a serious health challenge when she suffered from a stroke. Our cousin had been to ABM sessions and told us that Mom should go. Two years later Mom is still doing ABM and is healthier and happier than ever!

I was having pain in my neck and shoulders from hunching over to look at my computer and my phone for work. I worked with Silvia for an intensive, and continued with sessions. I felt a big difference after the intensive, my partner said she noticed me standing different. I feel lighter, and more able to focus. Very happy with ABM and look forward to future sessions.
