my story

The Journey of Brilliant Movement

Brilliant Movement was founded by Phoebe MacRae to provide a space where both Children with Disabilities or Developmental Delays and Adults with Chronic Pain or Anxiety can explore their inner strengths, overcome challenges, and achieve personal growth.

Phoebe is a fully Certified and Master Level trained Anat Baniel Method® Neuromovement® Practitioner based in Portland, Oregon.

In addition to teaching private NeuroMovement® lessons to children and adults, Phoebe is a dynamic presenter of workshops and classes for teachers, parents, companies and public groups. 

She has had a lifelong interest in the amazing capacity and connection of human bodies and brains.

Growing up she knew people who experienced Stroke, Hemiplegia (CP), ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease), Genetic Differences, and Brain Injury.

She always wondered what she might be able to do to help them overcome challenges and live their best life.

She is thrilled to be a part of the healing journey of this same population (and more!) in her professional life.
