Helping your child’s brain and body work better together
If your child struggles with regulation, focus, coordination, or big meltdowns, the reason often sits deeper than behaviour. MNRI® works gently with the early reflex patterns that shape how the brain and body connect by supporting children and adults of all ages, whatever their starting points.
What is MNRI®?The Masgutova Method for Neurosensorimotor Reflex Integration
MNRI® stands for the Masgutova Neurosensorimotor Reflex Integration Method, also known as The Masgutova Method. It’s based on Dr. Svetlana Masgutova’s decades of work with people recovering from trauma, and it’s grounded in research across psychology, neurology, audiology, and ophthalmology.
In simple terms: we help the body’s early reflex patterns integrate the way they’re meant to. When those patterns are working well, children and adults often find it easier to stay regulated, focused, and resilient, no matter their age or condition.
