Did your child crawl?
It is one of the first things I ask families. And it turns out, Dr Mira is pretty interested in this one too!
Not because skipping crawling automatically means something is wrong. But because cross-pattern crawling on hands and knees is one of the most neurologically rich movements a child can do. It integrates the ATNR, builds bilateral coordination, and lays down the foundational wiring for reading, writing and sustained attention.
From a chiropractic perspective, crawling also does something else entirely. It loads the spine and pelvis in a way that supports healthy neurological development, promotes optimal joint mechanics from early in life, and stimulates the proprioceptive pathways that feed directly into how the brain organises itself. Dr Mira sees the physical echoes of missed crawling in her patients regularly. Tight hips, poor core stability, asymmetrical movement patterns. The body keeps the record.
Children who bum-shuffled, commando crawled, or went straight to walking may have missed some of that foundational wiring. The good news is the nervous system is plastic. It is never too late to go back and fill those gaps in, both neurologically and structurally.
This is exactly what we do together at House of Wellness.

Why we work together and why it matters for your child.

Here at House of Wellness, two of our practitioners have been quietly building something we are really proud of: an integrated care model that brings together neurodevelopmental therapy and chiropractic care for children who are struggling.

Tegan Piacentini (Neurodevelopmental Practitioner) and Dr Mira Kokir (Bunbury Family Chiro) now work side by side to support children from the ground up, and here is why that combination is so powerful.

🌿 THE NERVOUS SYSTEM NEEDS A STRONG FOUNDATION

Primitive reflex integration (the heart of Tegan’s work) helps the brain and nervous system mature by gently resolving early movement patterns that should have switched off in infancy. When these reflexes are retained, they can affect everything from reading and writing to emotional regulation, coordination, sleep and anxiety.

But for that neurological work to take hold as deeply and efficiently as possible, the nervous system needs clear pathways to work through. That is where Dr Mira comes in.

🌿 THE SPINE AND THE BRAIN ARE IN CONSTANT CONVERSATION

Chiropractic care supports the structural and neurological integrity of the spine, the physical highway between the brain and the body. When spinal function is optimised, nerve signals travel more clearly and the nervous system is better placed to respond to the reflex integration work.

Think of it this way: Mira prepares the road. Tegan teaches the brain to drive it.

🌿 WHAT THIS LOOKS LIKE FOR YOUR FAMILY

Children who come to Tegan for an initial assessment may be referred to Dr Mira as part of their care plan and vice versa. The two programmes then run concurrently, coordinated, communicating and working toward the same goal.

One team. One direction. Better outcomes for your child.

💬 If your child is experiencing difficulties with learning, attention, behaviour, coordination or emotional regulation, we would love to chat. Both Tegan and Mira offer initial consultations and are happy to answer your questions.

Hi everyone 👋

I’m Dr Mira from Bunbury Family Chiropractic and Kinesiology, and I’m so grateful to be building this beautiful community here at the House of Wellness.

What I offer isn’t your “typical” chiropractic experience.

At Bunbury Family Chiro, care is gentle, holistic and family-orientated. My focus is on supporting the nervous system and whole-body wellbeing, not just treating symptoms.

Every appointment is tailored, unhurried and centred around listening to your story and your goals.

I work with:
🤍 Newborns and children
🤍 Pregnant and post-partum mums
🤍 Families wanting natural, proactive health care
🤍 Adults seeking a more connected, whole-body approach

Whether it’s supporting development in little ones, easing pregnancy discomfort, helping regulate stress, or improving movement and posture, my aim is to create a calm, supportive space where your whole family feels comfortable and cared for.

You’ll find me here at The Wellness House, Unit 1, 79 Forrest Avenue, South Bunbury, with appointments available Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Introducing Alyce 🌸💫

Hi, I’m Alyce, the founder of ALS Nutrition & Wellness Co., and I’m so excited to be offering my services at the House of Wellness!

I’m a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, and I work with both adults and children who are struggling with ongoing health issues and feel like they’ve tried EVERYTHING with no real answers or results.

I offer personalised 1:1 care. I take the time to truly understand each person’s story, their symptoms, lifestyle and what matters to them most. I help connect the dots between what the body is showing… and what’s happening underneath.

The core of my work is gut health. The gut plays a central role in how the body functions, from digestion and immunity to hormones, inflammation, and skin. This is why everything I do starts from the inside out.

Alongside supporting current symptoms, I place a strong emphasis on supporting the body early, so imbalances don’t continue to progress or turn into long-term, chronic patterns over time. I also love working with people to optimise their health and resilience, helping their bodies stay supported and function at their best.

I have a strong love for supporting kids' gut health, as well as adults'. ❤️ I truly believe kids deserve the best chance to grow up feeling healthy, energetic, and balanced in their bodies. Being a mum myself, I GET IT, and I’m here to uncomplicate, lessen the overwhelm and help make small changes that make a big difference.

I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach or quick fixes. I focus on your bio-individuality, building a strong foundation through practical, supportive and individualised care using whole foods, targeted support and, where appropriate, functional testing to better understand underlying patterns and support long-term wellbeing.

If this is speaking to you, I’d love to hear from you ☺️

Introducing Tegan Davis-Piacentini ⭐️

“I'm thrilled to join the House of Wellness team as a neurodevelopmental practitioner specialising in primitive reflex integration.

Primitive reflexes are automatic movement patterns from infancy that should naturally fade as we grow. When they remain active, they can impact learning, coordination, attention, emotional regulation, and behaviour.

I work with children experiencing challenges with reading, writing, focus, balance, or sensory processing, and adults who've struggled with unexplained difficulties throughout their lives.

Through targeted, evidence-based movement programmes, we help the nervous system complete its developmental journey.

This work is gentle, non-invasive, and addresses root causes rather than managing symptoms.
If you've wondered why certain skills feel harder than they should, or why your child works so hard yet still struggles, primitive reflex integration might provide the answers.

Looking forward to supporting our community at House of Wellness.
T”
