Who We Help
Support your baby’s early development. How we move in the first year of life sets the foundation for our lifelong movement patterns as well as higher levels of brain developement. Primitive reflexes aid in feeding and digestion, sensory processing, bonding and emotional regulation, and lay the foundation for your child’s fine and gross motor skills. Set your child up for lifelong success with bodywork and reflex integration throughout their first year of life.
Life is easier when you are integrated. Children with poor coordination, academic challenges, difficulty regulating emotions, and sensory processing disorders often have retained reflexes, poor stabilization strategies, and suboptimal movement patterns. Developmental movement therapy improves sensory processing and motor skills, enhances focus, attention, and emotional regulation, increases learning abilities, and reduces anxiety, hyperactivity, and behavioral challenges.
It is never too late to fill in the gaps. Many adults have primitive reflexes that were never fully integrated, leading to ongoing challenges with movement, cognition, sensory processing, and emotional regulation. Reflex integration and developmental movement therapy can be life changing for adults struggling with trauma, PTSD, chronic stress, and other neurological conditions like ADHD, anxiety, traumatic brain injuries, stroke, and other movement disorders.

Brittany Nation Cook, LMT, CPT
I am a licensed massage therapist and a certified personal trainer. I have been studying and practicing MNRI and other developmental movement therapies since the day I started practicing bodywork. Due to my own personal birth injuries and neuromuscular challenges, I began seeking help but was not satisfied with the treatments available locally. I knew my body was capable of more, and I was determined to reach my full potential. I decided to learn this work for myself, and that journey led me into the world of movement therapy, bodywork, and ultimately reflex integration and developmental therapies. The results I saw in myself physically, mentally, and emotionally were phenomenal. I am so passionate about this therapy and thrilled to share it with my community! In my practice, I combine Masgutova Neurosensorimotor Reflex Integration (MNRI), Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS), and rhythmic movement therapy, as well as elements of craniosacral, myofascial release, and lymphatic drainage as needed. I look forward to meeting with you! Please do not hesitate to reach out to me with any questions you may have.
