Hi, thanks for visiting. Come and join me on the journey to ‘Embody Family Wellness’! As a mum of three, Primary School Teacher, Brain Gym® Instructor and Primitive Reflex Integration Practitioner, my passion is children, education, health and whole body well-being.
I have spent my entire working life teaching children; swimming, lifesaving, in child care centres and schools. I studied Sports Science and Nutrition at Edith Cowan University followed by a Diploma of Education (Primary). After my studies I worked as a Physical Education Coach and Primary School Teacher for 8 years, until I had my first child.
When my first child was born, he had some digestive issues which opened up a whole new world of ‘health’ to me. I had previously thought being healthy was being active and I was learning how vital gut health is. I spent 2 years learning about, and following various diets for my son and also myself as I was uncovering and dealing with my own digestive health issues.
On the path of whole body wellbeing I discovered Educational Kinesiology – ‘Brain Gym® ‘. Brain Gym® uses specific movements to create new pathways in the brain. I completed a years study to become a Brain Gym® Consultant whilst I had my second child. I used Brain Gym® on myself and my family and continued to research brain development, and how early movements are connected to overall development of children. This then lead me to learn about primitive reflexes and their impact on movement and learning. Primitive Reflex Integration was the perfect addition to my qualifications as having integrated reflexes is the first step in overall development of children. If reflexes are not integrated as babies and toddlers it can impact greatly how they learn later in a classroom setting.
It blows my mind what can be achieved with the specific and simple movements of Brain Gym® and Reflex Integration. Being able to make positive changes for myself and others is very rewarding. For more information head to the Services page.
Thanks for taking the time to read about me, feel free to leave any comments or questions.
With love,
Michele

I took my child to see Michelle for six weeks before we moved away, and even in that short time, I saw a significant change in him. His sleep improved, and he became much more emotionally balanced. We used techniques and exercises Michelle gave with us to do at home, and they really helped him settle his mind and body at bedtime.
