Neurodevelopment & Neuromodulation

At Luminous Body, we help people of all ages — from infants as young as six months to adults — strengthen and rebalance their nervous system through advanced neurodevelopmental care.

We see children, teens, and adults with a wide range of challenges, including:

  • ADHD, Autism, Dyslexia and other forms of neurodivergence

  • PTSD, Complex PTSD, and stress-related nervous system dysregulation

  • Concussion and post-concussion symptoms

  • Developmental delays and sensory processing issues

Our mission is simple: to help the nervous system function at its best so that each person can learn, heal, and thrive.

How We Work

Our programs combine the latest in neuromodulation with holistic, hands-on therapies:

  • Photobiomodulation (cold laser therapy): gentle red and near-infrared light that stimulates nerve tissue at the cellular level, helping improve energy production, reduce inflammation, and encourage repair and neuroplasticity.

  • Sensory co-activation tools like Rezzimax to enhance sensory input and retrain brain-body communication.

  • Primitive reflex integration — retraining early reflexes that can interfere with learning, behaviour, and motor skills if they remain active beyond infancy.

  • Kinesiology, Neuro Emotional Technique (NET) and chiropractic to support physical alignment, emotional balance, and nervous system regulation.

We offer both one-on-one sessions and more immersive 10-day intensive programs, which can accelerate progress and create deeper shifts.

Why Cold Laser?

Cold laser therapy, also called photobiomodulation, is one of the most exciting tools in modern neuromodulation. Research shows it can:

  • Increase cellular energy (ATP) by activating mitochondria in nerve cells

  • Reduce inflammation and oxidative stress in the nervous system

  • Improve blood flow and nutrient delivery through nitric oxide release

  • Support nerve repair, remyelination, and new neural connections

  • Calm overactive pain or stress pathways while encouraging healthy signaling

These effects make it a valuable therapy for anyone dealing with nervous system challenges, from sensory processing and developmental delays to concussion recovery and trauma.

A Holistic Approach

Our work is inspired by pioneers such as Dr Robert Melillo and Dr Kyle Daigle, whose research highlights the power of combining reflex integration and neuromodulation. By layering cold laser, sensory activation, movement, and emotional-body work, we create treatment plans that are both highly personalized and highly effective.

What to Expect

Every person begins with an individual assessment, followed by a tailored care plan. Over time, many of our clients notice:

  • Improved focus, learning, and behaviour

  • Greater emotional regulation and resilience

  • Better coordination and motor skills

  • More calmness and flexibility in their nervous system

These benefits have a flow on effect for each individual and changes their experience of neurological deficits for the better. Inducing neuroplasticity through neuromodulation can result in improved speech and language, improved balance and gross motor skills, improved fine motor skills (hand writing), improved reading and writing outcomes (enhanced academic outcomes), Improve emotional regulation (cessation of aggressive and impulsive behaviour), create top-down inhibition resulting in a decrease in tics and repetitive behaviour including stimming. The results are widespread and very much individual to that persons nervous system.

We don’t believe in quick fixes — but with consistent care, the nervous system can be guided toward lasting change.

At Luminous Body we see neurodevelopment not as a limitation, but as an opportunity to unlock potential.

🌟 Cold Laser / Photobiomodulation

  • ⚡ Energy Boost – Stimulates mitochondria → more ATP, better nerve repair
    (de Freitas & Hamblin, 2016)

  • 🌿 Inflammation Control – Reduces oxidative stress & inflammatory cytokines
    (Hamblin, 2017)

  • 🧠 Neuroplasticity – Supports brain rewiring & cognitive recovery (TBI, neurodegeneration)
    (Salehpour et al., 2019)

  • 💆 Pain Relief – Calms nerve overactivity, eases chronic pain
    (Chow et al., 2009)

🌟 Primitive Reflex Integration & Neurodevelopment

  • 🎯 ADHD Links – Children with ADHD often retain primitive reflexes → learning & focus issues
    (Konicarova & Bob, 2013)

  • ⚖️ Brain Balance – Dr Robert Melillo’s research shows reflex integration helps hemispheric balance & behaviour
    (Melillo, 2009)

  • 🏃 Functional Gains – Reflex programs improve coordination, balance, and academic performance
    (Goddard Blythe, 2005)

✨ Quick takeaway: Cold laser helps the cells and reflex work helps the circuits — together they support long-term nervous system regulation.
