Dynamic Embodiment Practitioners begin with statistically reliable observation based in neuro-motor development based in the work of Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen, OT, RSMT as well as that of Irmgard Bartenieff, PT and founder of Laban Movement Analysis together with parameters from Kestenberg Movement Profile and the work of Dr. Christine Kris. The form of Laban Movement Analysis utilized is that which is taught at the Laban/Bartenieff Institute of Movement Studies (LIMS) where Dr. Eddy was on faculty with Irmgard Bartenieff, served as President and Executive Director, and is now a Senior Research Associate and Advisor.

Dynamic Embodiment derives from the attunement that comes from embodied observation, and the activation of kinesthetic empathy, interventions that provide support for what is working in the person. Next support is provided for areas that are untapped resources sometimes held back by blockages and ineffectual habits. This support often leads to satisfaction and the desire for new choices.

Optimizing Options: Options are explored using the vast range of resources identified within Body-Mind Centering® – from embryological knowledge to brain-body connections; initiation of movement from different types of tissue; balancing the autonomic nervous system and activating the musculo-skeletal system with efficiency, and using Laban Movement Analysis (LMA) and its exploration of each facet of human personality and behavior as reflected in movement. LMA systematically and precisely records movement through space with related dynamics and interactive uses of shape.
