Frequently Asked Questions
Adele works with all ages, from infants to seniors. Amber works with adults, teens and kids are determined on a case by case basis.
Everyone is unique, so the answer to this question varies. Regarding MNRI, a child’s home program is typically 15-30 minutes of neurodevelopmental movement and play, several times a week. For children with greater challenges, more time may be required.
Result times range from quick and dramatic to gradually building over time. Most see some changes within a few weeks of consistent practice with MNRI; significant progress within 3 months or less. However, for full integration and best results for long-term life and learning effectiveness, it may be recommended to do techniques for a prolonged time.
Transforming Touch: Typically, between session number 2 to 4, the practitioner’s nervous system and the client’s nervous system build enough safety and familiarity for the body to begin feeling safe enough to start rewiring attachment wounding and building stress resilience. Everyone is different and it may take longer for those with more severe trauma or nervous system dysregulation.
Emotion Code: Results with Emotion Code vary greatly between individuals. For some, they feel a difference in what they have chosen to work on in the first session. For others, it takes several sessions before they see results. This is because we don’t know for sure if the topics we choose to work on are exactly what will do the trick, although we make our best educated guesses. We often need to play with the topics and the way we ask questions in muscle testing before we find the perfect fit that will yield the best results.
MNRI®
This is the cornerstone of Adele’s work. MNRI® uses body work, isometric pressure and movements to facilitate the emergence, maturation, and integration process of primary reflex motor patterns along with lifelong motor reflex movements, tactile, visual, auditory, and proprioceptive sensory systems. We are strengthening neural pathway development for optimal abilities and releasing held stress patterns in the body that are holding us back from our optimal selves.
Transforming Touch® is an attachment focused neurophysiological treatment that shows the nervous system how to co-regulate in a healthy manner. This helps repair attachment wounds giving a person greater capacity for handling stress and becoming a secure base to co-regulate in a healthy manner with others, it’s especially important for parents to be able to provide that for their children. Our attachment style has a strong impact on how we handle communication and relationships.
TESTIMONIAL
You find the right healers at the right time. When you are ready and when your body is ready. And, I’m very thankful to have found Adele and Amber. On their own, they are both wonderfully knowledgeable, compassionate, warm, and incredibly gifted in their work. But together, they are explosive. Their work beautifully supports and compliments each others. The somatic/body work they do helps you hear what your nervous system is trying to tell you. Behind the noise of anxiety, depression, stress, and exhaustion, there is a whole language your nervous system is speaking. If you feel like you are stuck in survival mode (fight or flight), they help you listen to your body and learn how to feel those feelings and release them.
Your body is talking, they help you listen.
