Moving Mountains Therapy
Moving Mountains Therapy
Moving Mountains Therapy, LLC offers Dynamic Movement Intervention (DMI) intensives for children with gross motor delays and neurological conditions — serving West Michigan from our Grandville office, plus intensives in Denver, Colorado.
"Dynamic Movement Intervention (DMI) is a therapeutic technique used in physical and occupational therapy to treat children with motor delay by improving automatic postural responses and help each child progress towards developmental milestones (i.e. rolling, sitting, four-point, crawling, standing, walking and transitions). The goal of DMI is to provoke a specified active motor response from the child in response to defined dynamic exercises prescribed by the therapist. This comprehensive intervention reflects current research on neurorehabilitation, technologies and methodologies. DMI stimulates neuroplasticity to help your child's brain make new and improved connections and develop their motor milestones."

We focus on implementing intensive occupational therapy using Dynamic Movement Intervention (DMI). Our intensive therapy program ranges from 1.5–3 hours of therapy a day, and that time can be split into multiple sessions to allow for rest and recovery if needed.
1.5–3 hours of DMI therapy per day, split into multiple sessions if needed. Depending on availability and travel time, intensives may be completed in-home or in our treatment office.
Following a comprehensive evaluation, we create an individualized treatment plan that targets developmental milestones specific to your child.
Intensives range from 1–3 weeks and often reflect up to 6 months of progress seen in a traditional weekly therapy setting, thanks to significant repetition that helps the brain build new neural pathways.
You'll leave with a practical home exercise plan so the progress made during your intensive keeps building long after you head home.
We coordinate with your child's existing OT, PT, and physicians so intensives reinforce — not duplicate — the care you already have in place.
Families travel to Grandville, MI or Denver, CO for focused therapy weeks — we help you plan a schedule that makes the trip worthwhile.

I cannot say enough good things about Moving Mountains Therapy! We traveled all the way from Michigan to Colorado for two weeks of DMI intensive therapy with our son, Ben, and it was worth every mile!
The progress we saw in just two weeks was incredible. Ben gained so much strength, confidence, and independence. We watched him become more comfortable standing, taking steps, and trusting his own abilities. Things that seemed so difficult before became things he was willing to try, and as parents, there is nothing better than watching your child realize what they are capable of.
The therapists were absolutely amazing. They pushed Ben to work hard while making therapy fun and exciting for him. You could genuinely see how much they cared about his success. They didn't just work with Ben; they also took the time to teach us ways to continue building on his progress at home.
We left Colorado with new skills, new goals, and so much hope for what Ben can accomplish next. We are beyond thankful for our experience at Moving Mountains and would recommend their DMI intensive therapy program to any family considering it. We would make the trip again in a heartbeat!
We just finished up our first 2 week intensive with Kenzie and we are already looking at when we can book another one. We genuinely looked forward to every day with her and it is very apparent she knows her stuff when it comes to DMI. My son made great progress and she taught me a home program that is doable with our busy lives. Can’t say enough good things about Kenzie and Moving Mountains therapy!
I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Kenzie, Gabby, and Moving Mountains. The impact that DMI therapy has had on our son has been incredible, and we feel so fortunate to have found therapists who genuinely care about him and are so invested in helping him reach his full potential.
We have known and worked with Kenzie for quite some time, and from the very beginning, it was clear that this is so much more than just a job to her. You can genuinely feel her passion for helping kids in every single appointment. She takes the time to truly get to know the child in front of her—not just their diagnosis, abilities, or therapy goals, but them. She learns their personality, what motivates them, what makes them laugh, when they need encouragement, and when they need a minute. Because of that, she builds such an incredible level of trust with the kids she works with.
Kenzie has this amazing balance of being incredibly kind, personable, patient, and encouraging while also being firm and getting the work done. She knows how to push our son and challenge him without losing sight of how he is handling it in that moment. She celebrates his successes, encourages him through the hard things, and somehow always seems to know when he has a little more in him and when he truly needs a break. As a parent, that is something I appreciate more than I can say.
We have also had the opportunity to work with Gabby, and she has been absolutely wonderful. Even though she was newer to our son’s therapy journey, she built a relationship with him incredibly quickly. It was so fun to watch him become comfortable with her, trust her, and develop his own connection with her. She is patient, encouraging, personable, and so attentive to him throughout his sessions. I have genuinely enjoyed watching her work with our son and have been so impressed by the care and enthusiasm she brings to his therapy.
As a parent of a child with special needs, finding the right fit for therapy can be really hard. You aren’t just choosing a provider—you are trusting someone with your child. You’re trusting them to push your child through things that can be difficult and uncomfortable while also respecting their limits, advocating for them, and seeing them as a whole person. That trust is huge.
One of the things I appreciate most about Moving Mountains is that the relationship doesn’t stop with the child. Kenzie has always taken the time to build a relationship with us as parents, too. She explains what she’s doing and why, answers our questions, listens to our concerns, reassures us when we need it, and celebrates the victories right alongside us. You never feel like you’re just sitting on the sidelines of your child’s therapy—you feel like you’re part of the team.
We have watched our son work incredibly hard, accomplish things we once weren’t sure would be possible, and grow in both his abilities and his confidence. Having therapists who genuinely believe in your child and see their potential means more than I can put into words.
Moving Mountains is such a fitting name for this practice because that is truly what they help these kids do. Sometimes those “mountains” are made up of tiny movements and little victories that other people might never notice—but as a parent, you know just how huge they really are.
We are incredibly grateful for Kenzie, Gabby, and the impact Moving Mountains has had on our son and our family. If you’re looking for therapists who are knowledgeable, passionate, compassionate, trustworthy, and truly invested in the children they work with, I cannot recommend Moving Mountains enough. ❤️
We cannot say enough wonderful things about Moving Mountains Therapy! From the very beginning, Kenzie has been incredibly kind, compassionate, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in our daughter’s progress.
Our daughter has been through so much, and finding a therapy team that truly sees her—not just her diagnoses or challenges—means everything to our family. Both Kenzie & Gabby therapists have pushed her in ways that are encouraging and positive while celebrating every little victory along the way.
We have already seen progress, and more importantly, we have seen her confidence grow. You can tell that they both truly care about the children they work with and the families behind them.
We are so grateful we found Moving Mountains and for everything they are doing to help our girl reach her potential. ❤️ If you are considering an intensive therapy program for your child, we would absolutely recommend giving Moving Mountains a chance!
Thank you, Moving Mountains, for believing in our girl and helping her keep moving forward. 🩷
We had an incredible first intensive with Kenzie and Gabby in August 2026. They are so knowledgeable, kind, and AMAZING at what they do. The sessions were thoroughly planned out and well ran. We were thankful for expertise and the progress made. Kenzie also connected us to resources before and after we attended. We will for sure be back for future intensives and truly can’t wait ! 10/10 recommend!!
THE BEST!! Kenzie and Gabby have the most creative exercises that challenge my daughter! We have been coming here for 3.5 years now, and the amount of progress we see each session is tremendous. They are neuroaffirming, fun, supportive, extremely talented, and I can tell my daughter feels good because she smiles and claps!
"There isn't enough positive things that can be said about Kenzie and the services she provides. She loves your kids like they are her own and is so passionate about what she does. Highly recommend!"
"Kenzie is an AMAZING person and a PHENOMENAL therapist! It is so challenging to find someone who can do both so well and who is committed to intensive therapy that provides real results. She was MADE for this career, and she has amazing handling skills for DMI. She is incredibly relational and caring with families and children. Everly has blossomed with her and achieved amazing milestones doctors questioned she would ever reach. Kenzie helped Everly achieve independent standing for the first time and took her from a few independent steps to over 30! Having someone in West Michigan with this level of talent and an amazing personality is such a blessing! Thank you for all you do support so many families like ours, Kenzie!"
"Best therapy in Michigan! My son has been going to see Mackenzie for a few weeks and his gains are amazing! She is definitely a person who loves helping kids reach their potential!"
Had an intensive with us? We'd love to hear how it went.
DMI supports children with a range of gross motor impairments, including cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, global developmental delay, hypotonia, chromosomal or genetic conditions, spinal cord involvement, acquired brain injury, and children born prematurely. See conditions we help with.
We do require a parent or caregiver to be present during the session, unless otherwise determined by the therapist. The last 2 days are very crucial for parent participation in order to learn the home exercise program.
If your child is at or over 45 lbs, a video consult will be required prior to booking to ensure they are appropriate for this intervention. If a child is 45 lbs but standing independently, then weight won't matter as much. If your child is 45 lbs but needs full support, there might be better options for your child. Your therapist will be able to guide you in the right direction during the Zoom call.
Please bring your AFO's and any other orthotics to the first session. For some children they are required to develop alignment; for others it may be more appropriate to have full joint mobility so the body can learn proper alignment without the orthotic, depending on where the child is developmentally.
Orthotics are a tool that can provide alignment to a child's feet. However, the body has natural tools too, known as proprioceptors. They work through movement and tell the spinal cord and brain where our body is in space. The brain responds to the information by adjusting positions at each joint to teach the child to balance. When a joint's motion is limited, as is the case with orthotics, the proprioceptors cannot fully work. Therefore, an orthotic provides alignment, but takes away the body's way of learning balance.
