New! Brain & Body Calm Academy
Does your child suffer with anxiety or anger (or both?)
Have you already tried journaling, breathing exercises, meditation, mindfulness, yoga, talking to your GP or even talking therapy? And nothing has really helped your child?
The Brain & Body Calm Academy teaches you and your child about the nervous system’s role in emotional regulation and how to support your child’s emotional well-being through the nervous system.
It helps you and your child understand what is causing them to be anxious or angry AND provides therapy to get to the root cause of the anxiety or anger (and other linked emotions) by working with the nervous system....this is likely to be VERY different to anything else you have seen available or explored to help your child!
A drug free solution to make lasting change to help your child feel less anxious or angry for a more harmonious home!

The Brain & Body Calm Academy has been created & is delivered by me, Kate Rigby. I am a Neurodevelopmental Therapist, with expertise in working with emotional regulation.
This effective program works with the root cause of anxiety or anger (and other linked emotions), leading to a more harmonious home and school life.
So, what is the root cause of anxiety & anger?
The nervous system....
The Nervous System & Defensive Reflexes
Working with the root cause of Anxiety & Anger
Working with the root cause of Anxiety & Anger
When we are anxious or angry, the nervous system is in charge - it is perceiving danger (where none might exist) and we go into fight or flight (or freeze)....and we can't control our response.
The ability of our nervous system to assess danger effectively is dependent on our Defensive Reflexes: Fear Paralysis & Moro.
The root cause for anxiety & anger can be active Fear Paralysis & Moro reflexes.
Active Defensive Reflexes can be linked to stress, illness or intoxication during pregnancy, a traumatic birth, or extreme physical and/or emotional stress after birth (at any age).
Movements to switch off the Defensive Reflexes

Movements to switch off the Defensive Reflexes
In the Brain & Body Calm Academy, we gradually work through simple, relaxing & enjoyable movements, which replicate the movements baby makes during pregnancy and the early weeks of life after birth - these movements help switch off the Defensive Fear Paralysis & Moro reflexes.
Switching off the Fear Paralysis & Moro Reflexes has been shown to significantly reduce anxiety and anger in clients and therefore has a massive positive impact for the child in terms of their emotional regulation & happiness; on family life; and enjoyment of school and extra curricular activities.
