Paula’s background is in Education and she has worked in the disability sector for 10 years. Paula has a profound passion for fostering engagement and a high energy movement therapy to enhance physical, cognitive and emotional wellbeing of children and adults.
Paula understands the unique needs of children who may struggle in traditional learning environments. By creating fun, engaging, and supportive Sensorimotor sessions, families can foster a positive atmosphere where children feel safe, valued and motivated to participate.
Paula’s approach is grounded in the belief that every individual can achieve greater independence through improved balance and coordination whilst revisiting the sequence of developmental movement to help integrate retained Primitive reflexes.
Sensorimotor protocol can now be facilitated at home as Paula’s commitment to the ‘train the trainer’ model and to the accessibility of impactful interventions. Having access to online training in the Sensorimotor protocol will give parents and caregivers the flexibility to facilitate sessions at home when convenient, eliminating travel time and providing an opportunity for connection.

Early Childhood Intervention just means doing things, including seeking therapy, as soon as possible to support your child’s developmental needs. Early childhood intervention programs provide specialised support for children under seven who may not be reaching their developmental milestones. The early childhood years lay the foundation for all future development and learning, so getting support early can make a huge difference later in life.
Early intervention is vital – whether your child has a formal diagnosis or not.
If a child is reaching milestones at the typical age, it indicates that the child is developing as expected. If the child is not achieving developmental milestones, either at all or much later than typically developing children, it may be an indication that a child may have developmental delay.
Children that don’t meet developmental milestones may require extra support and services to reach their potential.
Primitive Reflex Integration

Primitive Reflex Integration
Primitive reflexes are automatic, involuntary movements that are exhibited by newborns and infants in response to certain stimuli. These reflexes are typically present at birth and are essential for survival and early development. They include actions like sucking, rooting, grasping, and the Moro reflex (startle reflex), among others. As
Primitive reflexes are automatic, involuntary movements that are exhibited by newborns and infants in response to certain stimuli. These reflexes are typically present at birth and are essential for survival and early development. They include actions like sucking, rooting, grasping, and the Moro reflex (startle reflex), among others. As the central nervous system matures, these reflexes gradually disappear or are integrated into more controlled voluntary movements. Their presence and absence can be indicative of neurological development and function.
Primitive reflexes are integrated through the maturation of the central nervous system. As a child grows and develops, higher brain centres gain control over these reflexes, allowing them to become more voluntary and controlled movements. Integration occurs as the child experiences various sensory inputs and motor experiences, which help to establish neural connections and pathways that inhibit or override the primitive reflexes. Through this process, the child learns to purposefully initiate and control movements, leading to the suppression or integration of the primitive reflexes. Integration typically occurs by the age of 6 to 12 months but can vary depending on individual development.
