Micheala Toews

I am a single mom of 3 children whom I adopted through foster care. I have been a foster parent since 2003, caring for over 30 children with a variety of needs and abilities. I have been a nurse since 2000, working specifically with children until 2013, when I resigned in order to care for my own children and study ABM.

I found the Anat Baniel Method when my youngest son was about 1 year old. He was born prematurely and suffered bleeding in his brain, causing Cerebral Palsy and Cortical Visual Impairment. I was looking for something better than the traditional therapies that were often painful for him and that did not seem to be helping him make progress. I began searching for new ideas and ran across a Mommy blogger who wrote about her son’s progress with ABM. I was instantly intrigued and was amazed that the children whom I saw getting lessons were content, happy, and eagerly soaking up learning!

My son had his first ABM lesson when he was 15 months old and I signed up to begin my practitioner training 2 months later. The next 3 years were a journey of discovery into a new way of learning! I am excited to bring ABM to the children and adults in my community!
