The story
Creating focus through music, movement and sensing
As the creators of inmu®, we have spent years exploring how music, movement and sensory impressions affect our wellbeing, our ability to be present and our ability to communicate.
We are driven by the potential that a conscious use of music, movement and sensing holds for deepening our awareness of ourselves, our surroundings and our connection to other people.
Over the years, we have met many people who struggle to find focus, calm or balance in everyday life – and to create a stronger connection between body, brain and mind. We have also met many who are not naturally drawn to meditation, mindfulness or other approaches to focus and clarity – not because they do not need them, but because they find them difficult to relate to or difficult to maintain over time.
mmsFocus grew from a desire to create a simple, engaging and accessible way for more people to experience focus, presence and awareness.
The inventor
At the heart of the method is Toni Marquard, creator of mmsFocus and co-inventor of inmu. Living with a rare muscle condition has given her a deep, embodied understanding of how the nervous system and sensory system react to overload, and how music and focused movement can restore balance from within.
The method is grounded in neuroscience, sensory integration, movement pedagogy, and music-based approaches, combined in a unique, embodied way. It was shaped in practice through sensing, listening, testing, and refining in real-life settings.
