Pillar One: Chiropractic

Chiropractic is the first pillar of the program due to the fact that we must correct persistent stress in the nervous system and ensure proper communication from the brain to the body and body to the brain in order to facilitate changes and neuroplastic growth in the brain.
Dr. Joanne uses very gentle and effective spinal adjusting techniques and modalities to achieve these changes and has extensive post-doctorate training in pediatric chiropractic. She became a FOCUS certified doctor in October 2019.

Pillar 2: Nutrition and Gut Healing

Nutrition, gut healing, food allergies, methylation, and various other challenges within the gut and body can have a huge impact on the developing brain. This is the second pillar we address in order to reduce stress and improve function in the gut/brain system, facilitating growth and healing. We utilize a variety of testing procedures to determine the specific course each patient needs to follow in order to achieve optimum performance.

Pillar 3: Neuro-Deflective Retraining

This pillar is a series of exercises consisting of body movements, balance games, gross motor and fine motor activities, visual games and learning sequences, auditory and metronome exercises, primitive reflex integration activities, and eye movement games. These games are specifically assigned and performed with each participant based on their “gaps” in development that need to be filled in order to achieve optimal success and neuroplastic changes in the brain.

Pillar 4: Brain-Based Parent Mentoring

This pillar is the often overlooked pillar, but it is just as important as the others! It consists of ongoing lessons and strategies delivered to parents and mentors of the participants and even to the participants themselves. We must understand how to reach and connect with the participants to help them grow and engage in the world while we are helping to facilitate physical and neurological growth!
