Question 1

What exactly do you do?

Accepted Answer

My work is integrative and tailored to the nervous system in real-time. I blend clinical knowledge from speech-language pathology and developmental therapy with biodynamic craniosacral work, reflex integration, and somatic co-regulation. I’m not delivering a protocol—I’m in constant relationship with the person’s system, listening for responses, and adapting based on what’s needed in that moment: structurally, emotionally, neurologically, relationally.

Question 2

Is this the right fit for my child—or for me?

Accepted Answer

If you or your child have tried conventional approaches and something still feels stuck… if you’re sensing that your system needs support beyond talk therapy or behavioral tools… if you're looking for something that honors the body, the mind, and the heart as one system… this may be a right fit. I help clients come home to themselves—through regulation, not force.

Question 3

Is this physical therapy? Is this speech therapy? Is this bodywork?

Accepted Answer

Yes—and no. While I draw on clinical foundations of each, what I offer doesn’t fit neatly into a box. I’m working at the level of the brainstem, fluid body, fascia, and relational field—often before traditional therapy approaches can even take root. Many clients come to me after other methods haven’t fully helped. My work can look like movement, play, hands-on work, or quiet stillness, depending on what the nervous system needs to reorganize.

Question 4

Do you work with [insert diagnosis]? What diagnoses do you support?

Accepted Answer

I work with people—not diagnoses. While many of my clients carry diagnoses like autism, ADHD, sensory processing disorder, anxiety, feeding disorders, or developmental delay, my work is not diagnosis-driven. Instead, I meet each person at the level of their nervous system, movement patterns, relational capacity, and underlying needs.

A diagnosis can sometimes offer useful information, but it doesn’t define the work we do together. I focus on helping the system unwind survival strategies, rebuild foundational regulation, and support true developmental emergence—regardless of what the paperwork says.

If you or your child feel stuck, disconnected, hypervigilant, shut down, or chronically overwhelmed—those are the signals I follow, whether or not there’s a label attached.

Question 5

What is reflex integration and why does it matter?

Accepted Answer

Primitive reflexes are early movement patterns that shape our ability to move, feel, and relate. If they aren’t integrated, we may see difficulties with coordination, focus, regulation, speech, or posture. Reflex integration isn’t about “exercises”—it’s about restoring communication between the brainstem, body, and environment in a way that supports development at its roots.

Question 6

What is the nervous system—and why does it matter so much in your work?

Accepted Answer

The nervous system is the body's communication network. It governs how we move, feel, breathe, speak, digest, and connect. It includes the brain, spinal cord, and nerves, but also deeply influences our posture, tone, regulation, and relationships.

When the nervous system is dysregulated—due to stress, trauma, injury, or developmental disruptions—it can lead to challenges with speech, feeding, movement, emotional resilience, and more. My work focuses on helping the nervous system feel safe enough to reorganize. Because when the body isn’t in survival mode, development, healing, and authentic connection become possible.

Question 7

Is there a certain age where this work is most effective? Is it ever too late?

Accepted Answer

No. I don’t believe in closed windows—only systems that haven’t yet had the right kind of support.

While certain developmental phases may offer unique opportunities, healing and integration are always possible. I’ve seen infants soften out of bracing patterns before they fully take hold, and I’ve seen adults unravel lifelong postural and emotional tension when their nervous system is finally met with enough safety and attunement.

The nervous system is always adapting—always listening. Whether you’re 8 months, 8 years, or 80, your system can find new options when it’s supported to do so. This work meets people at any stage and helps them grow from where they are—not where someone else says they should have been.
