The BARWIS

Founded in 2013 by Mike Barwis, the First Step Foundation is a 501c3 tax deductible organization created by a combination of a deep desire to help people with gross motor disabilities and a deep sense of responsibility to use the Barwis Methods for those in need. After years of perfecting the Barwis Methods and experiencing numerous disorders, it became clear that we needed to create an effective avenue to multiply Mike's ability to change people's lives. The First Step Foundation provides financial resources to people with gross and fine motor disabilities to receive the personal training through the Barwis Methods to help them achieve their maximum potential, to be the best they can be.
