Pediatric Kinesiologist in Calgary
Movement-Based Support for Children’s Development, Learning & Regulation
I am a pediatric kinesiologist in Calgary specializing in reflex integration and movement-based therapy for children. I support children who struggle with coordination, balance, attention, learning, and emotional regulation by addressing the underlying neurological foundations through purposeful movement and play.

Who I Help
I work with children who may experience:
- Poor coordination, balance, or body awareness
- Difficulty with attention, focus, or self-regulation
- Learning challenges that persist despite academic support
- Retained primitive reflexes impacting movement and development
- Sensory sensitivities or nervous system dysregulation
My approach is gentle, individualized, and developmentally appropriate, meeting each child where they are.
Pediatric Kinesiology & Reflex Integration Therapy
Pediatric kinesiology uses movement to support the development of the brain and nervous system. Many children retain primitive reflexes beyond infancy, which can interfere with posture, coordination, learning, and emotional regulation.
Through reflex integration therapy and play-based movement, I help children build stronger neurological foundations that support:
- Improved motor coordination and balance
- Better focus and attention
- Increased emotional regulation
- Confidence in movement and daily activities
Sessions are engaging, supportive, and designed to fit naturally into family life.
What Makes My Approach Different
- Specialized training in reflex integration therapy
- I am a Certified Reflex Integration Through Play Provider
- Strong focus on the nervous system and brain–body connection
- Play-based, child-led sessions that feel safe, achievable, and supportive
- Use of the Reflex Integration Through Play (RITP) app to support home programming
- Collaboration with families and other professionals when appropriate
To support consistency and carryover between sessions, I use the RITP app to guide each child’s home program. The app provides parents with clear, easy-to-follow movement activities tailored to their child’s needs, helping families feel confident and supported without overwhelm. This allows therapeutic movement to become part of daily life in a realistic and sustainable way.
What Parents Can Expect
- A thorough understanding of your child’s movement patterns and developmental needs
- Clear explanations using parent-friendly language
- Practical strategies and home activities to support progress
- A calm, supportive environment focused on regulation and connection
Progress takes time, but families often notice improvements in confidence, coordination, and overall regulation.

Research

Reflexes & ADHD
Research indicated that, in general, boys diagnosed with ADHD had significantly higher levels of reflex retention than non-diagnosed boys. Results also indicated both direct and indirect relationships between retention of the Moro, ATNR, STNR and TLR reflexes with ADHD symptomatology and mathematics achievement…

Academics
Research found that ATNR persistence was significantly associated with level of attainments in reading, spelling and mathematics and that boys were more at risk than girls for ATNR persistence…
