A little more on the vagus nerve and primitive reflexes..

Inside the brainstem sits the Vagus Nerve, but also in that same area of the brain stem sits the nerves that control these reflexes. The more the brain develops, the more it inhibits, or stops these reflexes from happening. Because the Vagus Nerve inserts into the same area of the brain. It’s a fair assumption to have that if the Vagus nerve isn’t functioning properly or at its optimal that perhaps some of the other nerves near the brainstem are also not functioning at their most optimal.

Movement is what drives higher brain development, and motor milestones/movement comes before talking in babies. So really, optimal movement, and optimal integration of primitive reflexes is required for any higher cognitive functions such as speaking, understanding language, comprehension, maths, social engagements, etc.

This is what has brought me to teach others about primitive reflexes, because ultimately we want your child’s brainstem to develop as optimal as possible, so that they higher centres such as their pre-frontal cortex where they do all of their thinking activities starts to function as best as it possibly can.

This course is not for you if:

You don’t have the capacity to do an online course i.e. watch all the videos and have the time and energy investment to really implement the information.

If you’ve had any traumatic brain injury or stroke or you have any other form of neuro, degenerative, or genetic brain condition, you may not get the results that you’re seeking.

Under 12 months of age - while we can support your baby in integrating the reflexes as they are developing so at the appropriate times of their brain development, this course is mostly designed to support people who feel that some reflexes have been retained in themselves or their children.
