Moving Mountains Therapy offers Dynamic Movement Intervention (DMI) intensives for children with gross motor delays and neurological conditions, from our office in Grandville, just outside Grand Rapids.
DMI intensives in West Michigan
Our Grandville office is where Moving Mountains Therapy began serving West Michigan families with intensive, goal-driven pediatric therapy. In-home intensives may also be available depending on travel time.
Address: 3010 Wilson Ave SW, Grandville, MI 49418
Kenzie, OTR/L, is currently the only Intermediate-level DMI therapist in Michigan. She has completed DMI Levels A, B, C and Intermediate Level A in person with the founders of the method, and is certified in TASES and NISE Spinal Stim (Level 2).
What an intensive includes
- Intensive format: 1.5–3 hours of DMI therapy a day, which can be split into multiple sessions to allow for rest and recovery.
- Length: intensives range from 1–3 weeks, built around your child's stamina and your travel dates.
- Individualized plan: a comprehensive evaluation comes first, then a treatment plan that targets the milestones specific to your child.
- Home program: you leave with a practical home exercise plan so progress keeps building after the intensive.
- Care team collaboration: we coordinate with your child's existing OT, PT and physicians.
Planning your trip
Many families travel to Grandville from across Michigan for focused therapy weeks. We'll help you plan a schedule that makes the trip worthwhile, and the daily therapy time can be split into multiple sessions so your child has time to rest.
- Grandville is just southwest of Grand Rapids.
- A parent or caregiver is required to be present during sessions, unless otherwise determined by the therapist. The last 2 days are especially important for learning the home exercise program.
- Please bring your child's AFOs and any other orthotics to the first session.
- If your child is at or over 45 lbs, a video consult is required before booking.
What Grandville families are saying
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!
Had an intensive with us? We'd love to hear how it went.
