Transform Your Health with MyShelle Method

 Neurotactile Therapy is a gentle, neuroscience-based approach that uses the skin as a gateway to the nervous system.
It’s founded on the understanding that the skin is our body’s largest sensory organ — and the very first system to develop in the womb. From our earliest days, the skin communicates with the brain through millions of sensory receptors that detect pressure, stretch, vibration, temperature, and movement.

These receptors don’t just tell us what we’re touching — they shape how the brain organizes movement, posture, and emotion.
Through intentional touch, Neurotactile Therapy helps the brain update its map of the body, calming overactive reflexes and releasing stored tension patterns that keep us in survival mode.

 Neurotactile Therapy uses specific techniques of pressure, stretch, timing, and direction on the skin to activate different sensory receptors within the tactile and fascial systems.

Each receptor sends electrical messages to the brain about where the body is in space and how safe it feels to move. When these messages are clear and coherent, the nervous system becomes more organized — allowing the body to relax, move freely, and self-regulate again.

In practical terms, Neurotactile Therapy helps:

• Integrate primitive reflexes that may still be influencing adult posture, behavior, or stress patterns.
   
• Soften and rehydrate fascia, improving mobility and flow.
   
• Regulate the autonomic nervous system, shifting the body out of fight, flight, or freeze into calm connection.
   
• Enhance body awareness, safety, and emotional balance.

 Within the skin and fascia live specialized receptors — each with a unique role in body-brain communication:

• Merkel and Meissner cells register gentle contact and texture, helping us define boundaries and connection.
   
• Ruffini and Pacinian corpuscles respond to stretching and vibration, guiding the body’s sense of direction and movement.
   
• Fascial interstitial receptors respond to slow, sustained pressure, supporting deep release and relaxation.
   
• C-tactile fibers respond to soothing, nurturing touch — the kind that releases oxytocin and signals emotional safety.
   

When these sensory systems are activated in the right sequence and rhythm, the brain receives new information that rewires old reflex patterns and restores natural balance.

 A session often feels like a combination of deep relaxation and awakening.
Using light to moderate touch, gentle movement, and sustained contact, the nervous system begins to “listen” again. Clients often describe sensations of warmth, tingling, or emotional release as the body reorganizes and resets.

It’s not massage — it’s communication.
Each contact point acts as a message to the brain: You’re safe. You can feel. You can move.
This shift from protection to connection is where healing begins.

  When primitive reflexes remain active, or when fascia holds old patterns of tension, the brain continues to receive mixed messages about safety and movement. Neurotactile Therapy helps clarify those messages, bringing the nervous system into coherence.

This work supports:

• Trauma recovery and emotional regulation
   
• Posture and movement coordination
   
• Sleep, focus, and energy balance
   
• Stress resilience and nervous system flexibility
   

By engaging the body through touch, we reawaken the brain’s ability to adapt, connect, and self-regulate — returning you to your natural state of calm, connection, and capability.

 “When I work through the neurotactile system, I’m not fixing the body ~ I’m nurturing it."

The skin is connected to your intuition and speaks the language of the soul.

Through intentional touch, we connect the brain and the body and they begin to trust their own rhythm again.
