Local Parent & Child
"Amajoy provides the reassurance and guidance precious in the life of a growing child and his/her parents. It's a place for a child - full of fun and joy, and a place for parents - full of care and wisdom. We love being with Lenore and the other parents and children in the group classes as we share in the growing up of our son and savor each precious stage of growth with awareness and delight." -Judith and son, Ezra (Ezra pictured above) | "He Poooo-ed!!!" -A Happy Mother, Williamsburg, MA 2009 Local Professional / Parent "As a physician, I refer patients and friends to Lenore Grubinger because I am impressed with the results of her work. As a parent I have used Developmental Movement Therapy to help both my children work through digestive problems, achieve developmental milestones, and facilitate their well-being." -N. Molin, M.D.

Local Mother / Nurse-Midwife
"I met Lenore Grubinger through the Amajoy program when my son was a month old. He had some birth trauma
(torticollis, slow muscle response on the right side) and friends recommended trying the program. Our pediatrician
was supportive of Amajoy's methods as well. From the moment she met my family, we were instantly calmed - Lenore
has a soothing, sweet manner and a perspective on movement and growth that helped put us at ease. Her knowledge
of muscles and development is staggeringly broad.
We worked both individually and in group settings in the Amajoy program and are happy to note that the birth trauma
is significantly decreased, he learned to enjoy tummy time as well as sleep better at night, and has decreased his one-sided favoring. This alone would have made my family over the moon happy, to watch our son grow and develop organically.
However, my family has gained so much more from the program, things that aren't listed in the manual.
We all learned how to move organically because Lenore believes that if we, as a family, are able to understand the
development of movement, we can better help our son. So we all learned about muscle development as we acted out
the movements we wanted our son to mimic and incorporate into his daily routine, turning exercise time in to fun time.
Lenore helped us see his development as organic and natural.
In addition, Amajoy helped me personally. I suffer from postpartum depression, and one of the biggest hurdles for me
was to find joy and connection with my son. Working everyday with him, one on one, strengthened our bond and increased
our connection while decreasing my stress. I had fun helping him learn to crawl and walk! It offered me a time and place
with my son to actually play and enjoy, and I will be forever grateful.
My son is 15 months old and walking with confidence! People remark about his strength and confidence as they watch
him walk. Amajoy is a holistic-centered, family friendly method which helped my family learn, grow and play. I am a
Certified Nurse-Midwife and I recommend Amajoy to all pregnant women and their families.
