About Alison

Hi, I’m Alison. I trained as a neurodevelopmental therapist with INPP after searching for help for my adopted son, who was having emotional and behavioural challenges at home and school. After lots of research, I discovered a drug-free, movement-based programme that focused on integrating primitive reflexes, and it really made sense to me.

We worked with a therapist and followed the programme for a year, and the changes in my son were incredible. He went from the school calling me daily about his behaviour to his teacher asking at parents’ evening what we had done because he had become so much calmer and was no longer shouting out in class. He even won “Best Behaved” at his football camp because his behaviour had improved so much.

Seeing these changes inspired me to train with INPP myself, which is considered the gold standard qualification in this field. The training includes supervision and standardised testing to ensure every child receives a high-quality assessment and programme. After seeing the difference it made for my son, I felt passionate about sharing this approach with other parents whose children may also be struggling.

Benefits and Results of working with Alison

By creating an individual movement programme, I help children develop and mature their nervous system, strengthening the foundations they need for everyday life. This support helps them cope better with challenges and reach their full potential. By the end of the programme, parents often see happier, more resilient children who are better able to learn and enjoy activities like sports.

Testimonials

“Alison’s assessment was clear, well-paced, and enjoyable, helping my daughter feel comfortable and confident. She made sure we both understood the exercises, which were easy to continue at home. Doing them each evening became a lovely, calming routine for us to share together.

Since starting the programme, my daughter has become noticeably calmer, more focused, and happier. She’s made new friends, impressed her teacher, and has even been invited to try out for the gymnastics team. We’re excited to keep going and would happily recommend Neuro-Connect to any parents whose child may be struggling.” – Rachel, March 26

“I cannot recommend Alison highly enough. From the first moment we met, she was calm, professional and genuinely interested in understanding my child—not just completing an assessment. She explained retained reflexes in a way that was clear and practical, and she made the whole experience feel safe and supportive for my child. Alison is incredibly thorough and observant. She took the time to notice the small things, asked the right questions, and tailored her approach to my child’s personality and needs. We left with real clarity, a structured set of next steps, and confidence in what to do going forward—without feeling overwhelmed. If you’re considering a retained reflex assessment for your child, Alison is exceptional.” – Susan (Jan 2026)
