🤔 Have you heard any of these myths or misconceptions?
🤔 Have you ever wondered about these points?
🤔 There is so much info out there about reflex integration, it can be hard to w**d out the truth from the flashy facts.
🎯 My goal is to help families understand what is possible with MNRI for their children and how it can be realistically achieved.
💭 I try to be as transparent as possible with families because I believe that everyone deserves a better quality of joy in their life.
❓️If you questions about MNRI, reflexes, speech, feeding, please reach out to me through email or DM!

We are so excited to offer this intensive option for children with neurological motor impairments! We are still ironing out the details but hope to start these intensives mid-February 2025. Email myself or Franchesca to stay up to date with all the information!

I'm selling my Special Tomato chair after only using it a few times. It wasn't the most functional set up for feeding therapy in my office so it's up for grabs. Local pickup preferred, but willing to ship it if buyer covers added cost. Willing to discuss your best offer. Send a DM if interested!
Please share with other families who might need one 😀

Two years ago I finished up all my training to become an MNRI Core Specialist. I have been studying MNRI since 2015 but after my 7th or 8th class, I decided I wanted to go deeper with my knowledge and do all the extra training. I'm so glad I did. I love what I do and who I get to help!

Thank you for the kind review! I love being able to communicate with families not just how, but also why we do the MNRI exercises.

Disability pride month was established in July 1990, the same time the Americans with Disabilities Act was signed. As a neurodivergent (ADHD) person with mental health issues (clinical depression), I definitely would have never chosen to be wired differently than "normal". Even though my mental differences create extra stress in my life, they also allow me to have creativity and an appreciation of true joy. I want to celebrate and honor the lives of other people with disabilities because we are all made in the image of God, no matter how different we seem.

Many families are interested in doing an intensive, but have no idea how many hours or days they should schedule. There is no perfect equation for making that decision, since there are so many variables, but this new questionnaire could help. Check for the link in the bio (third one down) and see what recommendation might work for you.

☀️🌊⛱️ I love moving my MNRI sessions to the pool when the weather warms up here in Texas! The water offers so many unique ways to work on reflexes and gives the body so much more input that the air on land. Interested in scheduling a session? Email or DM me for more info.
*Parents of infants and toddlers are strongly encouraged to be present in the water at all times with the child and myself for safety. For parents of children who have completed swimming lessons and are considered "strong swimmers", I invite you to join us or be nearby. *
** I prefer to use in-ground pools as they offer more surfaces at different depths to work on. If you have access to an in-ground pool that the child has been in before, this would be the best option.**

Scheduling intensives for May, June, July, and August! Your goals are the priority of the sessions!

The Epilepsy Foundation states that about 470,000 American children under the age of 14 have epilepsy. Some experience infrequent episodes while others experience numerous seizures each hour of everyday. Medication helps some individuals with epilepsy while others are considered "intractable" or drug resistant. No matter the types or frequency of seizures, epilepsy impacts the children's and their family's lives in a way that no one would wish for. As science and genetic testing advance, there is hope that our loved ones will be able to reclaim their freedom from the hold of epilepsy. Partner with your local philanthropic organizations to raise awareness and resources for those in the epilepsy communities. Visit purpleday.org to learn more! 💜

Unity Therapy Solutions is a therapist owned and operated small business that was established with the goal of providing skilled, outcome oriented communication and feeding therapy services while maintaining the principle that the body functions as a whole, interconnected unit.
Generally, we learn in school about all the parts and systems of the body and what function they serve. We also learn about the nervous system and how it works to link all the seemingly separate parts of the body to the brain. The nervous system acts as a highway feeding the brain so much information about how we interpret our world through our senses. What a huge job our nervous system and brain have! Our eyes, ears, noses, mouth/tongue, skin, joints, and inner ear all serve as investigative reporters to let our brain know what our environment is like, if we enjoy what we experience, or if we are in danger. The brain in turn considers this information and tells our body how to respond and stores some of the information away for later. So much is known about the sensory system and researchers continue to find more fascinating information about just how marvelous our brain and sensory system are!
Learning is a very complex task that can happen when our nervous system is functioning in a safe and engaged manner. What and how we learn developmentally and re-learn in rehabilitative situations are dependent on the fact that our sensory/nervous system must have a balance of information coming in. If one of our systems is under receiving/processing or over receiving/processing input, our brain is not able to completely absorb this new material that we are trying to learn. This goes for learning in the home, school, or work environment; anywhere we are responsible for retaining new info or skills. Producing speech, understanding and using language, and eating/feeding are all skills that I consider to be new info since we must learn in childhood, or sometimes re-learn how to do following a neurological event.
Not only must we learn how to complete these higher level skills, but once a skill is learned, we are tasked with repeating those learned steps or to refer back to this new info many, many times a day. We use complicated combinations of speech sounds to request or exclaim our needs, create long sentences to share about what we love, and use our oral motor skills to take in and safely send nourishment down to our stomachs. Once again, the nervous system and the brain have very important roles in these jobs, too.
In learning about and becoming fascinated with the sensory/nervous system and how it factors into skill development in childhood, I began to read more and more about how our reflexes (conditioned and unconditioned) are a key underlying part in determining the functioning of our sensory systems. When primary and higher level reflexes are not integrated to a level where they work to support our systems, we can really have difficulty with skill development. In an effort to learn more about retained reflexes and how they impact communication and feeding, I found Masgutova Neurosensorimotor Reflex Integration® or MNRI®. I find that the groundbreaking work of Dr. Masgutova can be life changing. As an SLP, I respect what her research has and continues to support in the way of communication and feeding skill advancement through the reflexes.
Unity Therapy Solutions was established in 2019 to facilitate my desire to become a practitioner of this work to help children, teens, and adults all find a better quality of life through reflex integration.
