The gift given to us from our children happens even before the birth of the baby. Through the umbilical cord, the baby shares cells with the mother, cells that protect her, sometimes boost her immune system, and create a symbiotic environment to assure the survival of both. We carry the cells of our children with […]

Many adoptive parents who became parents within days or even hours of their baby’s birth, wonder why their child suffers such deep wounds and attachment challenges throughout their childhood. As early as pregnancy, the bonding process starts, with a mother who wants this baby and whose oxytocin and hormonally welcoming body provide an environment of

What are the signs of interrupted development? Why would a family choose to do a full NeuroDevelopmental program? Below is a list of some of the most commonly seen issues that point to functional deficits at the pons level brain: the 2 – 7 month old developmental stage of brain integration: Bonding challenges Anxiety Avoidance

Frustrating signs of NeuroDevelopmental gaps in the area of the brain developing between 7 and 12 months (the “midbrain” or mid cerebrum areas) are the ones that often lead to learning and behavior issues, discouraging reports from teachers, and social challenges. Some of the issues that surface and some reasons to consider a NeuroDevelopmental Movement®

Our brain and our digestion, our gut health and our biochemistry, are all interactive, and it is sometimes difficult to get a full resolution of a client’s challenges without also acknowledging the importance of digestion, gut health, and biochemistry.

In my clinical practice, my experience and belief is that every child has a path to wellness that is unique. In my heart, I ALSO believe that every child and adult must be loved just as they are now, without expectation of change. I am always working to find the way to balance these two

I feel such urgency to help parents and professionals understand how much the experience of the body, as generated from within, from deep primitive drives to wholeness, creates the brain. In our NeuroDevelopmental Movement® programs, we are working with the very most basic ways that the body – the knowing, brilliant infant body – creates

How often do our children have “behaviors” that are disruptive, annoying, frightening, inappropriate, or destructive, and how many of our children have a DSM label for those behaviors? “BEHAVIORS” are overwhelming families and schools. What if we had the deep understanding that these so called behaviors are cries for help, for deep listening, for support,

One of the trends I have appreciated is a new recognition of neurodiversity and an acceptance of children who are different in their social, emotional, and learning skills. How can we possibly truly love a person when we don’t see and accept who they really are? However, I also see a component of that trend
