Thanks to the gift of MNRI® reflex integration programs, developed by Dr. Svetlana Masgutova, reflex pattern integration functioning becomes easy, stress is released, and life is lived on a more harmonious level. In this therapy process, each individual is evaluated to determine which reflex or reflexes need support to build a firm brain-body connection.

I am a certified MNRI® Core specialist and MNRI® Instructor. I use the MNRI® Masgutova Method in my therapy sessions.

[/accordion_item] [accordion_item title=”Do I need a referral to schedule my first appointment?”]No, referrals are not required to set up an appointment.[/accordion_item] [accordion_item title=”Describe a typical session.”]Clients and their families are interviewed to discover what they report as their strengths and weaknesses. At the first session and at regular intervals an assessment of the basic reflex patterns will be completed along with other necessary evaluations. This information is used to establish a goal for the session. A specific integrating exercise process is determined based on this information. Each session will last from 55-75 minutes. A home program will be given to the client and family to be followed for 5 days a week.[/accordion_item] [accordion_item title=”Do you offer other academic or psychological testing?”]In years past, Dr. Patty offered pyscho-educational assessments. However since incorporating the MNRI® processes into her therapy method, she no longer feels that these assessments bring in the information necessary to develop a positive, non-invasive plan towards growth and development.[/accordion_item][/tab][/tabs]
