Children don’t struggle because they aren’t trying hard enough.
Often, their nervous system isn’t fully ready yet.

Neuro-developmental therapy supports the maturation and organisation of the nervous system, helping children cope, learn, and grow with greater ease.

This work facilitates the integration of primitive reflexes through gentle dermal stimulation and movement-based exercises, delivered as bite-sized daily habits.

Pushing the nervous system to work more efficiently means children often start coping with life with greater ease. It’s wonderful to see Zane thriving despite his diagnosis. Even if the programme hasn’t been taken to the very end, the progress he’s showing is real, and there’s always room to re-engage later if he needs another boost. For now, things are moving in such a promising direction. Go Zane—keep stretching into your potential.

Did the Fog Test look “normal”?
But you know there is emotional difficulties or learning struggles…Then we need to switch it up a level.
The Reverse Fog places a bit more demand on the nervous system and can challenge older children and adults, who usually have more control of their bodies. If you notice the upper limbs mirroring the lower limbs, that’s a sign of immaturity in the central nervous system. Strengthening this foundation can make riding the waves of life easier.

After about a year of neuro-developmental therapy, we often pause the programme for a few months to see how the nervous system functions on its own — and it’s wonderful when progress continues, just as in Jacqui’s case.

Is it behaviour — or the body?
If you feel your child is struggling, retained primitive reflexes may be the hidden barrier.
This simple test helps you spot signs of neuromotor immaturity — and it’s easy to try at home.
Overflow with gait is a neurological soft sign often seen in children with ADHD or learning difficulties.
We need to integrate the primitive reflexes so that we can develop better Attention, Balance, and Coordination — the basic skills for everyday life.
These ABCs help us feel grounded, focused, and create space to think before reacting.
Let me help guide you through the reflex integration journey.

✨ Proud parent moment ✨
From a little boy who once struggled to jump with two feet, to winning the 400m and placing 3rd in the 1km marathon running alongside over 150 children at the school Olympics — what an incredible journey J has been on! 🏃‍♂️💫
It’s been such a joy to support his development through movement and reflex integration.
This kind of transformation is why I do what I do. 💖

A huge thank you to 32-year-old Demi for sharing her experience. Her commitment throughout the programme was key to the progress she made, and I couldn’t agree more with her advice. Consistency really is everything when it comes to reflex integration.

Our nervous system may be able to carry us through school, but when life throws challenges our way that we can no longer manage, it’s often a sign that the nervous system hasn’t fully matured to cope under pressure. This may show up when we start higher education, begin a career, or step into parenthood.

What we used to call a “nervous breakdown” is now often described more broadly as a mental health issue. But in many cases, what’s really happening is that the nervous system hasn’t been given the developmental foundation it needs to handle stress and complexity.

This is why it’s so important to ensure that our primitive reflexes are fully integrated—even well beyond school age.

As mentioned in my last post, here are some writing and posture examples showing signs of a retained ATNR (Asymmetrical Tonic Neck Reflex).

This early reflex should naturally disappear by around 6 months of age, but when retained, it can interfere with a child’s ability to cross the midline, maintain posture, and write smoothly.

Signs may include:
✏️ Drifting away from the margin, being margin shy, or writing that slopes downward
📄 Tilting or twisting the paper
🌀 Twisting posture while writing
✍️ Tight pencil grip or poor pencil control

When the ATNR is still active, writing cannot become automatic. Extra cognitive energy is needed just to manage the motor task, making it difficult to write and compose at the same time.

The presentation of these patterns in your child has a neurological basis—it’s not just preference or personal style.

Providing the initial training for hand-eye coordination and near vision, children who miss this developmental milestone may struggle with reading and writing later on.

A heartfelt thank you to Georgia's mum for sharing her touching testimonial! It's truly inspiring to see the remarkable progress that can be made when both parent and child are dedicated to the therapeutic process. Watching Georgia's incredible growth through Neuro-developmental Therapy has been an absolute joy. I wish her continued success as she moves forward on her path, and I’m grateful to have played a part in helping her find her way. 🌟🙏
