Primitive Reflex Integration is a therapeutic approach aimed at addressing and integrating primitive reflexes that are designed for your "fight, flight, freeze and fawn" responses.
Using Primitive Reflex Integration for stress and trauma recovery, we communicate with your primitive reflexes hard wired for safety in survival starting with integration of the Bonding Reflex.
As a primitive reflex integration specialist, we will work through the primitive relfexes for survival one by one. Once the body feels "safe" with the integration of the Bonding Reflex, then our body can fully integrate the Breathing Reflex on it's own.
With full integration of the Bonding Reflex, you become for tolerant of stress, and then we will continue with the integration of your "Startle Reflex". This reflex also known as MORO is responsible for your "fight, flight, or freeze" response.
By starting with the Bonding Reflex Integration Therapy, we lay a strong foundation for the healing journey, setting the stage for stress resiliency. This approach not only supports trauma recovery but also promotes confidence, stability and a renewed sense of connection—both with oneself and in relationships.
It's like learning to walk before we can run... this is foundational for trauma recovery. Without an integrated Bonding Reflex the body will not bring closure and heal from the past, it just stays stuck in the Startle Reflex or unconscious state of "stress".

Once the Bonding, Breathing, and Startle Reflex is integrated then your body's sense of safety will be RESET. After this reset, you will be ready for more complex Primitive Reflex Integration which aligns with our neurodevelopmental stages, such as holding your head up.
Before you can "hold your head up", in Primitive Reflex Integration we shift focus onto oral and facial reflexes that are responsible for breathing, eating, as well as emotional expression.
Our facial reflexes are responsible for clearly communicating how the body feels and the Mother should be able to tap into this. The face and head reflexes are structured for your brains' protection in case of head or face trauma, and includes setting the stage for posture and structural alignment.
Oral and Facial Reflex Integration therapy is great for all kinds of stress and pain, post concussion recovery, mental, visual and auditory issues, and can help appropriate emotional expression.
I also offer Coaching for Primitive Reflex Integration can be self-led and practiced at home!

The foundation for postural reflexes is the Head Righting Reflex, our mind uses these reflexes to set orientation and know our directions. The orientational reflexes for the mind and the body, that you use on a daily basis, when unintegrated can cause and create many mental and emotional issues..
These reflexes help us with spatial awareness, is the foundation for gross motor coordination, and can make the difference in personality, anywhere from the athlete to the disorganized, the genius mind to learning disabilities, and even impacts addictions, mental health ranging into autism designations.
Without integration of these reflexes we end up with learning challenges, labels and complex diagnosis including struggles with depression and lack of focus. Unintegrated postural and orientational reflexes get in the way of your knowing and being your authentic Self!
The main premise is "You are not broken." but you may have some unintegrated reflexes and we can work on them!
Primitive Reflex Integration for Head Righting and Postural Orientation will instill natural stability, focus and direction that is primitive in your human nature.
This part of the Myshelle Method Reflex Integration Therapy restructures the mind, uses visualization techniques integrated with somatic techniques, shifting the focus from where the body IS and where it wants to be for alignment, promoting a more overall state of well-being.

A PERSONAL MESSAGE FROM ME TO YOU!
I was a "toe walker" until the age of 38!
Since my first reflex integration course,
I have become a "Earth walking soul",
and today I am 52 yrs old.
Using a neurotactile approach for sensory integration, Reflex Integration Therapy unlocked my youthful potential, my chronic pain and suffering!
Since that day, I studied the human embodiment experience using kinesiology, aromatherapy, somatic therapy, energy medicine, mindset coaching and primitive reflexes integration therapy.
I became obsessed with how the body can unlock unconscious ways of being and choose another way of being, that led me down the path of being, doing and loving myself.
Along the way, I broke my leg at age 50, and had to learn to walk again, this time I found the practice of Conscious Education and Mindset Meditation on a whole new level by combining it with the RIT (Reflex Integration Therapy).
I JUST HAD TO integrate it, it was the structure I needed to integrate ALL of the techniques!!
Last but not least... At age 52, I stumbled upon a nutritional product from Zinzino called Omega3 Balance Oil that ROCKED MY BOAT once AGAIN!
This product has become the FOUNDATION for the neurodevelopmental, emotional, physical and mental stages that all my techniques are built upon today!
This work has become my passion and my lifeline,
and the foundation on how I walk this life, literally.
Currently living in Kelowna, I have been an active alternative wellness practitioner since 2010. I’ve worked with clients in order to achieve their desired goals of health and balance in all aspects of life.
After exploring many spectrums, have carefully selected tools for the body, mind and spiritual realms, that weave together and are highly effective...
