About Us
We aim to build durable and happy people.
Why Make Movement Matter
At Make Movement Matter, we believe that physical and mental health go hand in hand. Confidence and competence in movement open physical, emotional, and mental doors, helping people navigate life’s challenges.
Founders Amber and Erin, both passionate about movement, observed a decline in student participation in school sports and social connections. Amber noticed disruptive behaviors in classrooms and partnered with Erin to pitch a program to Diane Nelson, Director of Instruction for West Vancouver Schools. Initially started in 2017 with Grade 2 students, the program showed significant improvements and gained support from the Board of Education. The program has since expanded to grades K-7, addressing the growing need for movement in classrooms.
What We Do
We’ve combined our diverse skills to create a program that builds competence and confidence in movement. Our fun, accessible, and inclusive services support teachers and students, helping them develop skills for a healthy lifestyle.
We promote physical literacy, fostering lifelong health and well-being. By building strong relationships with schools, we empower educators to integrate movement into their classrooms.
Our data backs our efforts, and we are excited to share our findings. Join us and witness the transformative impact of intentional movement on your students.
