You’re not stuck with the brain you I have created a comprehensive toolkit with
have….upgrades available! innovative approaches, supported by real-world
evidence to effectively address (and remove)
With a wide range of modalities and therapeutic barriers to learning and accelerate (lasting)
approaches available, finding the best method outcomes.
for your child can be daunting…. especially
when there isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution. Can you rewire the brain and body?
Yes, due to its plasticity the brain and body can
be rewired! That`s where I come in - to rewire
the communication network between the
senses, brain and muscles - thereby enabling
effective learning to take place. It’s a drug-free
alternative!
Bottom-up vs. Top-down Approaches HOW?
Therapeutic modalities that focus on addressing • I do a Primitive Reflex Assessment to
the ‘thinking/rational brain’ are referred to as
“top-down” therapies. This approach relies determine the level of neurological organization.
on assessing conscious thought patterns, • I establish Preferred Learning Styles to reveal:
communication, problem-solving and decision-
making processes to address psychological * dominant learning strengths
challenges and often involves talk-based
interventions. * why we struggle to learn and what holds
Bottom-up therapies, on the other hand, target us back
the body’s physiological and emotional * what steps to take to become achievers
states rather than cognitive processes. These * what is the root cause of learning barriers
approaches are based on the neuroscience * recommend tailor made home programmes

psychological presentations being rooted in the to rewire & upgrade the brain/body

When it comes to therapy, there is no universal
approach.
While top-down therapies may be effective
for some, I incorporate bottom-up therapies,
harnessing the power of neuroplasticity and
movement for a more holistic approach.
