The care that changes HIE outcomes exists. Families just can’t reach it.

HIE is a brain injury from oxygen loss at birth, and one of the leading causes of newborn death and lifelong disability. The therapies that can change that outcome already exist. Insurance will not cover them, and most families never reach them.

It began with a boy named Shiva.

When our son was born with HIE, we spent months searching for care that no one tells you about, and we watched it change what was possible for him. No parent should have to find this road alone. Shiva in Motion exists to walk it with them, and to open the same door for every family.

“Gigi is making massive gains. She coos, makes faces back at us, she laughs, and she's started holding herself up when she sits. It made us feel so supported and seen in an incredibly difficult time.”
