It has been an incredible honor to have a conversation with and learn from the brilliant Dr. Amanda Steencken!!! Dr. Amanda Steencken is a neuroscientist and true critical thinker. She’s an innovator. Her teaching style is clear and deep. She applies concepts of quantum physics, biology, neuroanatomy, physiology, and therapeutics, to daily life to conceptualize and understand the fundamental internal and external environment needed for healing to take place. 

In this episode we discuss concepts of quantum physics, biology, mitochondria, fascia, structured water, the nervous system and primitive reflex integration using the Blomberg Rhythmic Movement Training to explain and elucidate theories on healing that make complete sense. 

Our conversations and learning about the world of Quantum Biology has shifted my perspective on healing and wellness completely and has restructured my priorities. This episode is for those who love to know how things work and have an open mind to new perspectives.

Join us for an intriguing, thought provoking and mind blowing episode as neuroscientist Dr. Amanda Steencken PhD combines concepts of quantum physics with biology, mitochondria, fascia, structured water, the nervous system, and primitive reflex integration using rhythmic movement- specifically BRMT (Blomberg Rhythmic Movement Training), to explain and elucidate theories on healing that make complete sense.

Kate Wagner and Riley Wagner are nervous system experts in the hot new occupational therapy tool- Primitive Reflex Integration. They use the Blomberg Rhythmic Movement Technique (BRMT) to calm the nervous system and allow for integration of retained reflexes.

Retained reflexes effect growth and development of the nervous system and contribute to motor, sensory, visual, behavioral delays and dysregulation.

When reflexes are integrated, the nervous system is in the optimal state for learning, growth, development, movement, reading, processing.

Great news, reflexes can be integrated at any age!For further information and classes visit: brmtusa.com

Continuing our conversation from Part 1-Interview with Kate Wagner. We discuss Integrating Primitive Reflexes Blomberg Rhythmic Movement Technique (BRMT), Electro Magnetic Fields (EMF), Inflammation, Energy Medicine, Muscle Testing & More!

Kate Wagner specializes in integrating primitive reflexes using the Blomberg Rhythmic Movement Technique (BRMT) to promote brain maturation and cognitive development.

Integrating primitive reflexes is a new and rapidly growing technique used predominantly in occupational and physical therapy settings to help There are a few different techniques for integrating primitive reflexes and BRMT is a very specific rhythmic movement technique developed by the late Swedish psychiatrist Dr. Harold Blomberg.

Dr. Blomberg’s work uses gentle rhythmic rocking movements to stimulate the brain with proprioceptive, tactile, and vestibular neurological input which allows the brain to develop. He calls this a brain maturation program. This program helps with cognitive, motor, sensory, behavioral, balance, coordination, reading, pain, receptive, and expressive neurological conditions and is intended for children, families- all people of any age.

Kate Wagner, who started her career in education as an elementary school educator, noticed that children in remedial programs for reading or math, rarely graduated out of those programs.

When her son was one of those children, she took action when she learned about the novel and profound work of Dr. Harald Blomberg.

Kate became a close friend and was mentored by Dr. Blomberg in this incredible and life changing work, which is decorated and praised internationally.

Although Dr. Blomberg sadly passed away in 2020, Kate has brought his training method to the United States as the US ambassador for his work. She teaches his philosophies, rhythmic movements, therapeutic principles of safety and respect within the body, as well as awareness of foods, substances, and radiation that can inflame the body and need to be avoided in some cases, particularly in autism.

Kate is a therapist and educator through and through. She teaches and shares the Blomberg Rhythmic Movement Technique (BRMT) internationally and also holds certifications in neuro developmental kinesiology, Brain Gym, personal training, nutrition coaching, and Rayonex (a German bioresonance technology). Additionally, she is a Reiki Master and the USA director of Vivobase, an EMF protection technology.

She is a true healer and an incredibly rare find!

Introducing to you, one of my very favorite people, Elisa Romeo board certified Marriage and Family Therapist, author, intuitive, and soul guide.

Elisa is my personal therapist whom I have heavily relied upon to navigate this life. She introduced me to my soul which completely changed my outlook and my decision making. She led me to authenticity within myself, through following my soul, supported me, and gave me a safe space to receive and process my life/soul lessons. She has been my greatest share with my girlfriends and it feels vulnerable to be sharing her openly as she has been my safe haven, but the world is ready for her and deeply needs her.

Elisa is a board certified Marriage and Family Therapist, intuitive and author of 2 incredible books, Meet Your Soul and Holy Love. She attended Pacifica Graduate Institute in California where she studied depth psychology and the work of Carl Jung who explores the unconscious mind to discover individuation. Elisa had mentors such as the late, widely acclaimed, Marion Woodman, who championed the women’s movement and exploration of the Divine Feminine.

Working with Elisa is both deeply healing and psychologically enthralling as she brings in and shares with you PhD level depth psychology concepts as she explores your soul as both a psychologist and intuitive to explain why, how, and what you are experiencing. She is truly extraordinary. My bravery and opening of myself to life directly stems from Elisa’s work and the relationship I have built with my soul.
