Supporting the brain to build stronger foundations
The neurodevelopmental programme is non-invasive and drug-free.
It is designed to address underlying developmental immaturities rather than focusing only on surface symptoms.
At its core, the programme supports the integration of retained primitive reflexes and the maturation of the nervous system. When these early patterns are more fully integrated, higher-level skills such as attention, emotional regulation and coordination often become less effortful.
By identifying these underdeveloped patterns, it is possible to design a personalised programme of movement that provides sensory stimulation.
This allows the brain to revisit early stages of development, and in doing so strengthen neural pathways that may have been incomplete.
Rather than managing symptoms, we support the nervous system itself. And when the nervous system matures, many seemingly unrelated difficulties begin to ease.
How it works
Each programme is individually designed following a detailed assessment.
You will receive a small set of simple, structured exercises tailored specifically to your child’s developmental profile. These movements are carefully sequenced to reflect the stages of early development, gently supporting the nervous system to mature in a more organised way.
The exercises combine light tactile stimulation and specific movement patterns. They are designed to replicate the kinds of sensory and motor experiences that help the brain develop in infancy.
In effect, the programme gives the nervous system an opportunity to revisit and strengthen earlier stages of development.

Reviews and ongoing support
Follow-up appointments take place approximately every 8 weeks. These sessions allow us to:
Monitor progress
Reassess reflex integration
Adapt the programme as needed
Answer any questions
The duration of the programme varies according to individual need, but most programmes are completed within 12 months.
Progress is gradual and steady. This is not a quick fix, but a structured developmental approach designed to create lasting change.
Is it right for my child?
The programme is most appropriate where assessment indicates retained reflexes or immature postural patterns that may be contributing to everyday challenges.
It can sit alongside school support, tutoring or other therapies.
If you are unsure whether it may be suitable, the initial screening and consultation provide an opportunity to explore this without obligation.
How to get started
Get in touch to arrange a time to speak so you can ask questions and find out more.
-
Taking the first step is simply about finding out whether this approach may be right for you or your child. There is absolutely no obligation to commit beyond this initial conversation.
This stage is about gathering information and answering your questions.
-
The INPP process begins with a detailed screening questionnaire, followed by a telephone consultation. This gives us an opportunity to discuss your concerns, relevant history and whether a full neurodevelopmental assessment would be appropriate.
-
If it seems helpful to explore further, we arrange a comprehensive in-person assessment at my practice in central St Albans.
The assessment looks at reflex integration, balance, coordination, posture and eye movements. Afterwards, we review the findings together and discuss whether a personalised programme is recommended.
You can then decide whether you would like to proceed.
-
If you’d find it useful, we can arrange a reporting reading call in which I explain the assessment results, exploring what the assessment has identified and how it might be impacting your child’s learning or behaviour.
-
If you decide to proceed, I use the assessment to determine an exercise(s) to undertake every day.
You then return every 8 weeks for a review to assess progress, and at each review I will determine further exercise(s) to undertake daily.
Most clients complete the programme within 12 months.
