‘Underdevelopment, under-regulation and under-integration of primary brain networks is the root cause of most childhood learning & behavioural issues.’

Are you ready to re-build, re-connect & balance your child’s brain so they can be their best selves?

Do you want a step-by-step guide to optimal brain function?

Do you feel helpless, overwhelmed and don’t know where to start in supporting your child?

Are you a parent of a child with delays, learning or behavioural difficulties or have a neurodiverse diagnosis in your family?

Is your child 'stuck' in a certain area of development & just doesn't appear to outgrow certain issues?

If so, you are in the right place. In just 16 weeks you will understand exactly what is happening in your child’s brain, and become confident in your ability to support them.

Brain Reconnections encompasses everything you need to connect your child’s brain so they can reach their full potential & make HUGE developmental gains.

Movement & sensory stimulation are key components of this program as they create the optimal environment for neuroplasticity (the ability of the brain to change).

Changing the brain requires a whole body, multi-faceted approach that includes primitive reflex integration, strength training, brain balancing & sensory integration, cerebellum stimulation, corpus callosum strengthening, nutrition, lifestyle & environmental awareness and more.

This program is based on the same research, practices and exercises that I use to rehabilitate the brain in a professional setting.

16 weeks to a Reconnected Brain.

In this 16-week program you will learn:

  • How the brain builds through infancy & childhood.  


  • The developmental blueprint of the brain & what happens when this is disrupted.


  • Exactly what causes a disconnection between the brain and body.  


  • How to assess your child for a brain imbalance, that is a right or left-brain deficiency & how these relate to neurodevelopmental diagnoses.


  • How to fill in the ‘gaps’ in your child’s development & balance the brain, step by step, through primitive reflex integration, hemisphere specific sensory integration, corpus callosum strengthening & cerebellum development.  


  • Daily activities to implement at home which build & wire the brain appropriately.  


  • What nutritional choices best fuel the brain & improve brain health.


  • How to review your lifestyle and home environment so you can make positive changes that will benefit brain health & all family members.  

After 16 weeks you will have a robust home program which you can continue to practice with your child to help improve their skills and assist them on their developmental trajectory as their brain continues to get into a normal, healthy rhythm.

What your child will gain:

  • Improved gross & fine motor skills
  • Better focus & attention
  • Better brain-body communication & regulation
  • Improved body awareness
  • Improved processing skills
  • Easier learning, reading, comprehension &  memory
  • Improved language skills
  • Improved social skills
  • Balanced behavior & emotional regulation
  • Confidence
  • Better balance & co-ordination
  • A strong core
  • A more robust immune system
  • A healthy future & much, much more!


The area of your child's greatest gain will be unique to your child depending on where the delay or 'gap' is in their brain.  As this area wires throughout the program you will consequently see a maturing or improvement in the associated symptoms.  


Curriculum Overview

Journeying toward a Balanced Brain - A brain imbalance is the core reason why the developmental trajectory of a child is altered & explains why they don't outgrow certain behaviors.  It has the potential to eventually lead to diagnoses including ADHD, Autism, Dyslexia, OCD, Sensory Processing Disorders & so much more.  

Getting to know your Child's Brain - Throughout this program we get to know your child.  Their strengths, weaknesses, & what makes them unique.  We get a clear picture of where your child is currently at & progress through the program according to their specific needs. 

Creating a routine – In the first 30 days, it’s all about getting into a groove.  This means spending time 1 on 1 with your child and supporting them to get familiar with the activities.  We begin with Primitive Reflex Integration & establish the right mindset for what lies ahead. 

Understanding the Brain – This is where you will begin to understand WHY your child is the WAY he/she is.  We will dive deep into the order and timing of different areas of brain development. 

Creating a balanced brain – This is where the magic really happens.  I will cover what it means to have a balanced brain & how to determine if your child has a less connected or immature brain hemisphere & what this means for them.  We will modify home activities specific to your child’s area of weakness.

Lifestyle Factors – In this module we will take a look at the effects of technology & the toxic load that is placed on our children today & how this in turn affects long-term brain function. Lifestyle modifications are offered.  

Food for thought – Understanding the nutrients in the foods we choose to offer our children & what key nutrients are required for optimal brain development & function. 

Corpus Callosum & Cerebellum Development - Learn about these brain regions, what they are & what they do.  After reflex & sensory integration this module brings you the most important movements to improve brain connections for higher brain functions and learning.

Continuing Connections – Celebrate the gains your child has made and reflect on the journey of the last 16 weeks.  You will have a robust plan to continue forward with and will feel confident in continuing to support your child from here on.
