Why primitive reflexes?

I choose to work with primitive reflexes because they are the foundation on which you build your life on. A strong foundation of movement helps the human body for survival, and we create a personality with behaviors and preferences around them. Your unconscious ability to survive is automatic and can override the conscious mind. This makes us hesitate, change paths, stop ourselves or avoid having the life we actually want. It is my desire to help as many humans enjoy their human experience and get what they want, and our access to our primitive reflexes is often the root cause to the "issue".

Primitive Reflex Body Work for Behaviors and Movement

What primitive reflex body work looks or feels like will be a therapeutic massage like touch that has a specific stimulation for a specific responsive experience or movement. The approach uses the skin organ as the sensory organ that receives the sensory input for the brain to translate, and then respond. The sensory input will be a softer touch that stimulates the skin cells and this creates neural pathways and this is actually how we change the brain and the body's responses. You will experience a soft intentional touch that will stretch the skin, contract the skin, with compression and pausing. Most clients fall asleep as this is brain stem therapy, your brain will be creating new neuropathways that develop to be able to consciously process. Your skin organ has 11 different nerve receptors that send different information for your brain to then process, and there is about 300 of these nerve receptors in one square inch of your skin organ. With this level of somasensory stimulous of the skin organ the central nervous system responds, shifting from the unconsious state of "fight, flight, freeze" into "rest and digest" to process and create new connection, literally, with your felt sense of SELF.

This method of change work is about persuasion and not using force. The human body is designed and coded up to function despite your conscious effort for survival. With a more functioning unconscious response to your environment that is more thriving and successful then EVERYTHING is easier. We will work a combination of tactile therapy and movements that are a foundational priority for bringing more joy into your experiences.

Like a baby learning to walk, with desire to acheive something, this process is a step by step process to becoming a living, breathing, successful, and thriving human being...

and with we shift this at any age with neuroplasticity.

That said, this work is for all ages at any stage of human development.

If you, your child, or grandchild feel that their body doesn't co-operate to it's fullest potential then their may be some primitive reflexes that need attention.

Reflexes are created for your success or protection and your body is doing the best it can with the tools it currently has access to. Creating new neural pathways is a way to gain new tools to be able to experience your world!
