I’ve always warned against trying to manage primitive reflex integration by yourself.
However, realistically speaking, not everyone has the budget to commit long-term to a programme with a practitioner, and people will always look for ways to try to do this work for themselves – I know I would have been the same.
I am now happy to endorse an alternative that’s second-best to coming to see me in person. It’s a self-managed programme consisting of 20 hours of music coupled with a movement programme, devised by Tomatis, called Soundsory. Soundsory uses bone conduction headphones coupled with an ecclectic rhythmic collection of music and a movement programme, which is available via a login allocated when you sign up.
Soundsory can help with sensory, emotional, motor coordination and learning challenges by primarily targetting the vestibular system. However, if a person would be unable to copy or replicate the movements, it may be necessary to modify the programme to incorporate passive movements, with input by me.
I would still always recommend the Safe and Sound Protocol as a pre-cursor to Soundsory, but this is a great do-it-yourself, home-based programme for those who either do not have time to come into clinic or do not have the funds to complete a bespoke reflex integration programme.
What I like about this programme is that it’s yours to own for a one-off cost, and requires no practitioner input or monthly subscriptions. If you get on well with this, you could later consider signing up for one of the longer term programmes, but then again, you might want to repeat Soundsory.

Soundsory is currently available from Move2Connect at the special offer price of £199 (UK mainland only – please contact me for pricing elsewhere).
