Our Mission in Burnaby

Lifemoves Human Performance opened its new location between Burnaby Heights and Burnaby Kensington neighbourhoods in the summer of 2025. This was nearly a year after Alfred found out he was neurodivergent.

Our mission is to provide human-centric and neuroinclusive care to guide people on their journeys towards improved health and fitness. We strive to help people thrive in all seasons of life

Why We Provide Neuroinclusive Health Care and Fitness Services in Burnaby

In the fall of 2024, Alfred was diagnosed with ADHD, and a few months later, he self-diagnosed as Autistic (AuADHD). After the diagnosis, it became clear as to why specific independent personal training centres and allied health care clinics did not feel safe for his nervous system.  These experiences were shared with him by several neurodivergent clients.

Learn More About Why Lifemoves is Focused on Neuroinclusive Care in Burnaby

Alfred was diagnosed with ADHD in the fall of 2024. A few months later, he learned that the personal training space he was renting from was closing.

During his search for a new location, he was offered a temporary lease at the corner of Fell Avenue and Hastings St in North Burnaby. 

Instead, Alfred recognized the opportunity to fill a gap in health care for people with autism, ADHD, and AuDHD. This is when he decided to open Burnaby's first neuroinclusive and neuroaffirming health care, wellness, and fitness studio, located across from Kensington Park, for patients and practitioners.

What Our Clients Say About Kinesiology

Alfred brought new awareness to my posture – sitting, standing, laying for sleep, walking and moving. This and also awareness around how I could breathe differently during all that I would do in a day improved my quality of life immensely.  I discovered a path that offers a level of physical and mental support that I look forward to and am excited to have in my life again.
Brenda , Retired Professional Dancer
With the added complication of cognitive deficit and reduced messaging signals to my muscles, it is critical for me to focus on verbal instruction and physical cues. A quiet space with the necessary equipment allows you to focus and leave the session with a much clearer physical and mental picture of what you will be doing at home.
James , Neck and Spine Injury
The benefits from Kinesiology I have received are relief from positional discomfort during my work day and after, an increase in strength and fitness and knowledge and confidence to exercise without injuring myself. In addition to these, kinesiology has assisted me in returning to other activities including tennis which had become difficult
