It is free but must be scheduled by Amy.

$150/ session. Sessions are 50 minutes starting on the hour.

Unfortunately, no. I am a provider under the NCSEAA disability grant program.

Pathways Treatment Center is a Provider under the NCSEAA Disability grant for those who have that coverage. A Bridge to Healing Foundation specifically matches some funding for MNRI therapy. More information can be found on their website (www.bridgetohealinginc.com). Pathways also is able to take HSA and FSA credit cards.

Billing is done on the First of each month for the previous month’s sessions. I credit card or HAS/FSA card is kept on file and charged at that time. A paid invoice will be sent via QuickBooks.

Absolutely, parents are encouraged to be in the room and learning techniques for home programs.

Amy hosts a once monthly Pathways Mom Group, as well as a Facebook messenger chat.

MNRI stands for the Masgutova NeuroSensory Reflex Integration Program. MNRI is a series of developmental programs that begin with the proper integration of the basic neuro-sensory reflexes that are present at birth and later play important roles in all other aspects of development of the brain. To learn more, reach out to Amy.

A reflex is a conscious or nonconscious response to input. Babies are born with reflexes that are tested at birth. The natural birthing process signals the brain to begin integration of the reflexes. When neural reflexes are properly integrated, it leads to normal development of communication, cognition, motor, and sensory abilities. To learn more, reach out to Amy.

A delay, omission or failure to complete any of the phases of reflex development affects the formation of future skills. As a result, appropriately matured neural networks are not created. Dysfunction or compensations develop, making the true function of the reflex unreliable during periods of stress. Non Integrated reflexes cause the person to function on a survival level, which in turn leads to a narrowing of attention span, a lack of cause-and-effect thinking, and poor control of motor skills, behavior and spontaneous movement. When primary reflexes are not integrated, it can lead to neurochemical and endocrine issues as well. To learn more, reach out to Amy.

MNRI systematically provides the brain with sensory input paired with the correct motor patterned responses. MNRI Specialists will assess how the person’s reflexes are functioning and design a specific plan for how to prioritize and implement a program. Parents are trained on how to do the MNRI work at home with their child with support from a specialist. To learn more, reach out to Amy.

MNRI work is done on the body, giving sensory input and passive motor patterning. The child does not have to actively participate, and can even be asleep during implementation of MNRI. To learn more, reach out to Amy.

Absolutely. We work with adults who have anxiety, brain injuries, trauma, PTSD and many other neurological conditions. To learn more, reach out to Amy.

Craniosacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle, hands-on intervention that supports optimal functioning of the nervous system. Practitioners use light touch to assess and improve fluid motion within the craniosacral system and the whole body. CST is a safe and effective way to help the body function more efficiently and support the body’s ability to heal. This bottom-up approach can be used to address a wide range of health issues as well as facilitating wellness across all stages of life. More information about CST can be found at https://www.upledger.com/therapies/ To learn more, reach out to Katie.

The craniosacral system is made up of the brain, spinal cord, and nerves along with the bones, fluids and membranes that support and protect the nervous system. The craniosacral system is responsible for detoxifying, feeding, and protecting the nervous system; it also provides the network through which neurons communicate and send signals throughout the body. To learn more, reach out to Katie.

Craniosacral therapy is performed on a fully clothed body. The practitioner uses light touch, generally about the weight of a nickel, to feel areas in the body where movement is decreased, restricted or sluggish. The therapist applies light pressure to make structural changes that enhance the flow of cerebral spinal fluid within neural connections throughout the body. Often clients experience a sensations of heat release, muscle relaxation, fluid motion and calm alertness during their session. To learn more, reach out to Katie.

CST is a great support system for MNRI reflex integration. Neurons must be able to communicate with each other to create a reflex circuit. When nerve pathways are firing optimally, the brain is able to interpret information from the sensory and motor systems in the body to help integrate primitive reflexes addressed by MNRI. To learn more, reach out to Katie.

CST can benefit anyone at any age; it is particularly helpful in newborns and infants. CST has been documented to show improvements in, but not limited to: Developmental Delays Tongue/oral ties Reflux High/Low muscle tone Motor & speech deficits Sleep problems Autism Sensory disorders Birth Trauma Frequent Headaches Anxiety Learning disabilities Vision deficits To learn more, reach out to Katie.

The Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) is an evidence-based listening therapy designed to reduce stress on the nervous system and decrease sound sensitivities while enhancing connection, engagement, regulation and resilience. SSP helps retune the nervous system by listening to specifically filtered music that stimulates the Vagus nerve. To learn more, reach out to Katie.

The SSP involves listening to specially filtered music through headphones alongside a provider in the clinic or remotely. To learn more, reach out to Katie.

People who struggle with: Low frustration threshold Challenges around social engagement Aggression (yelling, hitting, throwing things) Hyperactivity Difficulty with staying on task or paying attention Anxiety Shutting down, people-pleasing, withdrawal, disengagement High sensitivity to or misperception of sounds or voices To learn more, reach out to Katie.
