Being witnessed in your experience is a powerful and necessary component of healing. Research in attachment theory, interpersonal neurobiology, and affective neuroscience shows that healing occurs through right-brain-to-right-brain connection—the nonverbal exchange of presence, attunement, and safety. When your experience is met with regulated, compassionate attention, the nervous system receives the signal that it is no longer alone, allowing implicit memory and emotional patterns to reorganize and integrate.

You can begin to change your story about their non-verbal, early trauma and gain greater capacity. In this place of safety, you experience attachment focused protocols which are consistent and measured for repairing early ruptures and the consequences. This co-regulation helps rebuild the body’s natural internal resources and capacity for self regulation.This co-regulation helps rebuild the body’s natural internal resources and capacity for self-regulation.

What Are Primitive Reflexes?

Primitive reflexes are automatic, instinctive responses that develop in the womb and support birth, early survival, and development. They are the building blocks of the nervous system, forming the foundation for movement, regulation, and brain development in early life.

These reflexes originate in the brainstem and spinal cord and help infants breathe, feed, grasp, orient to safety, and move. As development progresses, primitive reflexes support milestones such as rolling, crawling, standing, and walking. When the nervous system matures, these reflexes are meant to integrate, allowing higher brain functions—such as focus, coordination, and emotional regulation—to emerge.

When primitive reflexes remain active beyond early childhood, they can continue to influence the nervous system. Retained reflexes may contribute to challenges such as chronic stress responses, anxiety, sensory sensitivity, difficulty with balance or coordination, emotional reactivity, fatigue, or feeling “stuck” in survival mode.

While primitive reflexes are typically assessed shortly after birth, they are rarely re-evaluated later in life—yet their influence can persist. Somatic and nervous system–based work can help support integration, restoring greater ease, regulation, and resilience.

One On One: Somatic touch work, a blend of  trauma informed somatic healing blended with energetic modalities, Somatic EMDR, and Primitive Reflex Therapy . Transforming Touch® is an attachment-focused neurophysiological method of hands-on and intentional healing, and is an effective way of facilitating regulation within the client’s nervous systems. 


Virtual: Transforming Intentional Touch®, all the protocols and enhancements have been tweaked to work without physical touch. The power of working with intention has been expressed and shared by Healers from around the world. Some actually believe it is much stronger than using physical touch.
