Have you experienced a recent trauma?
What if there is an effective way to help you get back to normal?
It could simply be a case of active reflexes,
for which there is a proven and simple solution.

Rhythmic Movement Training (RMT) and Reflex Integration are proven methods to establish the brain/body connections required for optimal functioning.
Together, we will go beyond the expression (fight/flight/freeze) and look more deeply into the nervous system to where the brain, nervous system, and body work together and communicate. Sometimes there is a disconnect in the communication channels. If something is blocking a reflex channel it can show up as an automatic response that doesn't always seem appropriate to the situation.
Researchers have discovered specific movements to re-integrate these literal connections inside of us. Once we do, like a miracle, these issues will either resolve or become significantly better. In some cases with just one session, one finds that one is no longer in involuntary reaction to outside stimulus (please see Vivian's testimonial here). One can now operate from a place of choice. This is true for children as well as adults.
What are reflexes and why are they important?
A reflex is an action that happens without conscious thought as an automatic response to a stimulus.
There are primitive reflexes and postural reflexes. Primitive reflexes are present in all infants and are the basis for all cognitive, emotional, and physical development. In utero and throughout childhood, reflex movements make the connections necessary to develop the all-important connections in the brain. These automatic and repetitive movements are essential for the development of balance, mobility, vision, hearing, speaking, learning, communicating, and our ability to take in information.
Sometimes, infants or toddlers skip a step or two. Researchers now know that there are developmental and health consequences when steps are skipped. Luckily, we can perform the movement later in life to integrate what we missed. Performing these simple movements through individual coaching creates new neural pathways in the brain, just as it does in the infants who integrate the reflexes instinctively. By making new neural connections, we can transform the way we process emotions, move, and respond to our environment.
If you or your loved ones have any of these challenges, there is a solution, thanks to the work of Dr. Blomberg and others.
Reflexes can become reactivated or un-inhibited after experiencing trauma - a fall, a car accident, being mugged, surgery, food reactions, emotional stress – sometimes everyday stress can trigger the stress response.
In the short version of my story, I took the RMT courses to help my clients. To my surprise and delight, I experienced profound shifts in my own life experience. Most of my life I was too shy to speak up in a group. That is not even an issue any more. In fact, I don’t even think about it at all! It’s hard to imagine that it was even an issue. I also went into an emotional reaction when I thought others were not listening to me. I have not had this reaction since, nor has it been an issue since I took the courses 10 years ago.
“Each reflex is associated with more than one developmental milestone. Learning to integrate those which remain un-integrated can make a difference in several areas of one person's life. After just one two-day course, most participants see vast improvements in more than one aspect of their own well-being, which encourages them to bring these movements to their students, clients, and loved ones.” (BRMT website). This is exactly how it went for me!
These movements can benefit anyone who wants to make improvements in their life or the lives of others: children, parents, adults, senior citizens, teachers, therapists, doctors, everyone!
