Over 8 years ago, Kellie began to question what was causing more and more students to struggle academically, socially and emotionally. She started studying the brain and discovered the importance of having a mature central nervous system for learning and functioning. She came to learn about retained primitive reflexes and how they can interfere with an individual's ability.

Kellie trained in Move to Learn, Rhythmic Movement and became a
licensed practitioner of the INPP method. She is currently studying to be certified in the Melillo Method as well. These neurodevelopmental programs address
retained primitive reflexes and serve to mature an individual's nervous system through sensory and primitive reflex integration. This approach ensures a child's brain and body are 'wired up' to support functioning and learning.
