About Lorrie
Lorrie Jollimore, guided by curiosity and a lifelong fascination with patterns – across graphic design, visual art, software architecture, movement, karate, somatic practice, writing, and technical market analysis. Though each discipline appears different on the surface, she has always been searching for the same thing: the hidden patterns that connect them.

“Curiosity has been the compass of my life. Whether through art, movement, technology, writing, or financial markets, I’ve always been drawn to the patterns beneath the surface and the discoveries that emerge when seemingly unrelated worlds begin to connect.”
A designer and painter with a background in software and database architecture, she has always been drawn to the hidden logic beneath things—from solving a Rubik’s Cube at nine to chasing perfect runs through Ms. Pac-Man, simply to understand the pattern required to solve the game.
Motherhood shifted her path toward somatic practice, where connection replaced force and a deep sensitivity to perception became central to her work. With a deep understanding of functional movement, she helps people discover new ways of organizing themselves, allowing greater ease, vitality, and freedom in action to emerge naturally.
Trading using technical analysis later emerged as another expression of that same curiosity…listening for rhythm, probability, and fractal pattern recognition in real time.
Writing is simply one more place where these explorations gather: a way of organizing ideas, refining insight, and sharing what she discovers along the way.
As a modern polymath, she moves fluidly between disciplines, drawn less by category than by the underlying structures that connect them. She believes learning is a lifelong endeavour that crosses disciplines and works best when it’s enthusiastic, creative, and occasionally funny. She’s happiest when something she makes sparks recognition, laughter, or both.
“It is not the possession of truth, but the success which attends the seeking after it, that enriches the seeker and brings happiness to him.” – Max Planck

Every field offers a different perspective on the same mystery. This is a collection of explorations where disciplines overlap, ideas converge, and curiosity leads the way.
To me, a polymath is not someone who simply collects knowledge from many fields, but someone who discovers the patterns that unite them.
Graphic design taught me visual communication. Software architecture revealed elegant systems. Karate cultivated discipline. Somatic practice transformed my understanding of perception, showing me that connection creates possibilities where force cannot. Technical market analysis became another study of rhythm, probability, and fractal behaviour.
Writing provides a place to organize these discoveries, while art explores the same questions through a visual language. Though each discipline appears different, they have all been asking me the same question: What hidden patterns shape the way we experience the world? Following that question has led me down the path of discovery.

Curiosity has a way of ignoring boundaries when exploring the patterns, ideas, and unexpected connections that emerge when art, movement, technology, science, and human experience are allowed to inform one another.

Certification
Anat Baniel Method® NeuroMovement®
Lorrie Jollimore has been a certified Anat Baniel Method® NeuroMovement® practitioner since 2015. Lorrie’s desire to become a practitioner, trained by Anat herself to use this cutting edge neuroscience based approach, was a very personal one, as in 2011 at 11 months, her daughter was diagnosed with Hemiplegia Cerebral Palsy, which affected her entire left side. Her daughter is now running, jumping and continuously improving her motor skills. Lorrie’s inspiration to want to help other children with brain injury at birth as well as adults who have survived a brain injury stems from the abilities of both her daughter and her clients to learn and grow in the face of real challenges.
Movement and Vitality
Founder
Lorrie is one of a select group of practitioners to complete all four levels of NeuroMovement® certification and holds a second-degree (Nidan) black belt in Shotokan Karate. For more than a decade, she has maintained a thriving private practice, guiding adults and children toward greater ease, confidence, and functional ability through movement-based learning.
Having taught more than 8,000 private lessons, Lorrie has worked with clients ranging in age from just 8 weeks to 88 years old. Her practice has supported individuals living with concussion, stroke, chronic pain, cerebral palsy, ADHD, autism, and other neurological and developmental challenges. Rather than focusing on limitation, her approach helps the brain discover new possibilities for organizing movement, often leading to meaningful improvements in function, comfort, and quality of life.
