It can be hard to know what is going on with your child. And sometimes? The vagus nerve is only part of the picture.

It is really hard to navigate dysregulation, in yourself and your kids. ESPECIALLY when you’re doing your best to remain calm, hold space for them, and be the gentle parent you wished for yourself.

Introducing.. Primitive Reflexes

Primitive reflexes are reflexes that all humans are born with. These reflexes are designed to support a baby’s survival - from the womb, through the birth, and into the first year of their life.

They generally should be integrated by 12 months of age, if not sooner. And this occurs in a sequential manner that is parallel to motor milestones such as rolling, crawling, and sitting unassisted.

Once I have worked with the vagus nerve in my practice, the next biggest thing that I see that impacts a child’s development is how many reflexes they have retained, and this is why I’m so passionate about sharing the message around primitive reflexes

This course will teach you how to assess primitive reflexes in yourself and your children, and is applicable to anyone who can walk.

"Babies are supposed to outgrow their primitive reflexes by the end of the first year. However, in some children they linger longer... this can throw off the timing for (brain) development & is an early symptom of problems to come." - Dr Robert Melillo.
