    Episode #17 Webinar Optimizing the Nervous System in Pregnancy, Infants and Postpartum with Kate Wagner and Riley Wagner

    Kate Wagner and Riley Wagner are nervous system experts in the hot new occupational therapy tool- Primitive Reflex Integration. They use the Blomberg Rhythmic Movement Technique (BRMT) to calm the nervous system and allow for integration of retained reflexes. Retained reflexes effect growth and development of the nervous system and contribute to motor, sensory, visual, behavioral delays and dysregulation. When reflexes are integrated, the nervous system is in the optimal state for learning, growth, development, movement, reading, processing. Great news, reflexes can be integrated at any age!For further information and classes visit: brmtusa.com The EMF device discussed in this webinar can be found here: https://vivobase.com/ (Mention this webinar at checkout for a special discount!)

    Episode #15 Part 2 Interview with Kate Wagner- Integrating Primitive Reflexes BRMT Method, EMF, Inflammation, Energy Medicine, Muscle Testing & More!

    Continuing our conversation from Part 1-Interview with Kate Wagner. We discuss Integrating Primitive Reflexes Blomberg Rhythmic Movement Technique (BRMT), Electro Magnetic Fields (EMF), Inflammation, Energy Medicine, Muscle Testing & More! Kate Wagner specializes in integrating primitive reflexes using the Blomberg Rhythmic Movement Technique (BRMT) to promote brain maturation and cognitive development. Integrating primitive reflexes is a new and rapidly growing technique used predominantly in occupational and physical therapy settings to help There are a few different techniques for integrating primitive reflexes and BRMT is a very specific rhythmic movement technique developed by the late Swedish psychiatrist Dr. Harold Blomberg. Dr. Blomberg’s work uses gentle rhythmic rocking movements to stimulate the brain with proprioceptive, tactile, and vestibular neurological input which allows the brain to develop. He calls this a brain maturation program. This program helps with cognitive, motor, sensory, behavioral, balance, coordination, reading, pain, receptive, and expressive neurological conditions and is intended for children, families- all people of any age. Kate Wagner, who started her career in education as an elementary school educator, noticed that children in remedial programs for reading or math, rarely graduated out of those programs. When her son was one of those children, she took action when she learned about the novel and profound work of Dr. Harald Blomberg. Kate became a close friend and was mentored by Dr. Blomberg in this incredible and life changing work, which is decorated and praised internationally. Although Dr. Blomberg sadly passed away in 2020, Kate has brought his training method to the United States as the US ambassador for his work. She teaches his philosophies, rhythmic movements, therapeutic principles of safety and respect within the body, as well as awareness of foods, substances, and radiation that can inflame the body and need to be avoided in some cases, particularly in autism. Kate is a therapist and educator through and through. She teaches and shares the Blomberg Rhythmic Movement Technique (BRMT) internationally and also holds certifications in neuro developmental kinesiology, Brain Gym, personal training, nutrition coaching, and Rayonex (a German bioresonance technology). Additionally, she is a Reiki Master and the USA director of Vivobase, an EMF protection technology. She is a true healer and an incredibly rare find!
