ENERGY IN ACTION - EPISODE 084

Minds in Motion

 

Candace Meyer is the Founder and CEO of Minds in Motion. She's done wonderful work supporting vestibular health throughout the mitochondrial community and beyond. Minds-In-Motion’s revolutionary program, using movement and brain integration, jump-starts the brain's neural pathways to help children maximize potential by building a better foundation for learning and equips them with the tools for success in school, in sports, and in society.

 

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS

 

What inspired Minds in Motion?

As a reading specialist, I started scientifically researching children who were struggling to read. I took the data I collected and devised a program that would stimulate balance in children. 

 

Does data show that children and adults both benefit from the program?

My focus was always on children, but adults absolutely benefit. As you get older, you lose muscle tonality and if you re-tone the muscles in your inner ear, your brain wakes up, your auditory processing increases and your visual processing increases. 

 

What does an exercise consist of for an elementary age child?

An example would be the Bean Bag Boogie, where children throw and catch a bean bag and use their eyes to track the bag. The exercise will change to also include spinning and catching or hitting the bean bag with an elbow and catching it. The exercises require multiple motor skills, but are all designed to be fun.

 

How can a mitochondrial patient work with Minds in Motion? 

Visit the website to research the program, obtain the handbooks, balance boards, rotational boards and other equipment. No matter your age, you can benefit from the program.

 

How can a parent get Minds in Motion in their child's school?

Speak to a counselor or other key staff member and ask them to visit our website to see the upcoming training opportunities and get in touch with us for more information.
