primitive reflex integration for nervous system reset

Do you feel like your body is always on edge, like you're living from the neck up, disconnected from your physical self?
Are you highly sensitive to touch—or not able to feel much at all?
Do you struggle with boundaries, burnout, or emotional overwhelm?

You’re not broken.
You may simply be stuck in a survival pattern rooted in your nervous system—and it started much earlier than you think.

 The tactile system is your first sensory language—developing in the womb long before sight or sound. It’s how your nervous system learned to interpret the world:
Am I safe? Am I wanted? Am I allowed to feel?

Touch shaped your earliest survival responses.
If that touch was inconsistent, invasive, painful, or absent, your nervous system learned to stay on high alert—or shut down altogether.

This early programming affects:

• Your ability to regulate stress
• Your sense of emotional and physical boundaries
• Your capacity to feel safe inside your own body
• Your relationship with yourself and others

That’s where Tactile Integration comes in.

Tactile Integration is not massage—it's neurological re-patterning through the skin. By stimulating the tactile receptors through specific, rhythmic touch and reflex-based techniques, we help your brain:

🌀 Downregulate the chronic fight, flight, freeze, or fawn response
🧠 Rewire survival reflexes that keep you stuck in overreaction or shutdown
💓 Restore a felt sense of self-worth, presence, and embodiment

This work lays the foundation for true healing—not by bypassing the body, but by inviting it back online through the language of touch.

 When your tactile system has been shaped by trauma, neglect, or hypervigilance, you may unconsciously:

• Disassociate from your body
• Struggle to know what you need
• Experience emotional numbness or overreaction
• Feel like you are  “too sensitive” or “not enough”
• Crave touch but feel uncomfortable receiving it
  

These are not personality flaws. They are nervous system adaptations.

Tactile Integration gently helps you reconnect with your inner self—so you no longer abandon your body when things get hard, but instead respond with conscious awareness. 

Each in-person session at MyShelle Method is unique to your nervous system, but may include:

✔️ Safe, guided tactile input to activate and calm specific sensory nerve endings
✔️ Primitive reflex techniques that reset survival patterns through rhythmic stimulation
✔️ Somatic coaching to help you interpret your body’s messages
✔️  Nurturing rituals that invite self-love, oxytocin, and inner connection

You remain clothed, in full control, and your pace is always honored. This is about teaching your body how to trust again.

 This work is for adult women navigating:

• Chronic dysregulation (fight, flight, freeze, fawn)
• Birth trauma or medical trauma
• Emotional neglect or high-sensitivity childhoods
• Unhealed mother wounds or attachment struggles
• Relationship wounds, breakups, or betrayal
• A longing to feel more present, embodied, and nourished
  

Whether you're a mother, a bodyworker, or simply someone longing to feel at home in your body, this therapy helps you create a secure base—starting from the skin inward.

Touch is the first sense to develop in utero and the foundation for how we bond, soothe, and regulate. When that foundation is disrupted, we carry it silently—through our relationships, reactions, and sense of worth.

Tactile Integration offers a chance to rewrite that script—not just mentally, but biologically.
When we repair the tactile system, we repair the way we feel in the world.
