The Future of Reflex Development & Nervous System Training
HELA Method™ – Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does trauma‑informed healing affect emotional balance?
Trauma‑informed healing starts by recognizing how past experiences live in the nervous system and shape our stress responses. By using gentle neurodevelopmental movement, somatic practices, and education, the HELA Method™ helps the body feel safer, which naturally supports calmer emotions and more stable moods.
2. What is “brain and body rewiring” in the HELA Method™?
Brain and body rewiring refers to guided practices that use neuroplasticity—the brain’s ability to change—to rebuild healthier communication between the nervous system, reflexes, and movement patterns. Through specific sequences of reflex work, sensory input, and breath, the HELA Method™ helps organize these pathways so focus, coordination, and regulation become easier.
3. What are common signs that brain and body rewiring could help my child?
Families often notice chronic overwhelm, big emotional swings, trouble sitting still, difficulties with focus or coordination, or persistent sensory sensitivities that do not improve with standard approaches. When everyday life feels harder than it should despite effort, it can be a sign that the underlying nervous‑system wiring needs support rather than just more behavior strategies.
4. How does somatic neuro integration help with ADHD or attention challenges?
Somatic neuro integration works through the body—rhythm, movement, posture, and breath—to calm over‑activation and strengthen the neural pathways that support focus and self‑control. For many children with ADHD traits, this bottom‑up support reduces restlessness and impulsivity so that other therapies and learning strategies can finally “land.”
5. What are the best trauma‑informed healing methods for neurodevelopmental challenges?
There is no single “best” method, but research supports approaches that combine nervous‑system education, trauma‑informed principles (safety, choice, collaboration), and body‑based practices. The HELA Method™ weaves these elements into a structured, developmentally sequenced process so families and practitioners have a clear, compassionate roadmap.
6. Do you offer in‑person therapy or regular sessions in Newport Beach or California?
No, HELA no longer offers ongoing in‑person therapy or local clinic‑style sessions in Newport Beach or anywhere else. The work is now shared primarily through online teachings, self‑paced programs, and virtual experiences so people from any location can participate.
7. Do you still offer individual assessments?
In select cases, Hela offers in‑depth assessments for children and adults who need a deeper understanding of their sensory profile, reflex integration profile, nervous‑system patterns, family dynamics, and subconscious repatterning needs. These assessments may be offered online or, when appropriate, in person, and are scheduled case by case while the main focus remains on building the HELA Academy and online resources.
8. Are there online programs for somatic neuro integration and brain‑body rewiring in the US?
Yes. The HELA Method™ is being developed into online courses, subscriptions, and digital resources that guide parents, therapists, and seekers through somatic neuro integration and brain‑body rewiring practices from home. These offerings focus on education, guided movement, meditation, and affirmation practices so people can begin using the method right away.
9. Can I get personalized nervous‑system programs based on an assessment?
When an assessment is appropriate, Hela may design a personalized neurodevelopmental and nervous‑system program that parents or therapists can implement in their own setting. These programs are educational in nature and are intended to complement, not replace, medical or therapeutic care from licensed providers.
10. How does trauma‑informed healing support parents and caregivers, not just children?
When parents learn how their own nervous system works, they gain more capacity to stay grounded, repair quickly after conflicts, and model regulation for their children. HELA teachings and meditations are designed to nourish caregivers first, because a regulated adult is one of the most powerful healing forces in a child’s life.
11. Who are HELA’s online offerings designed for?
HELA’s online resources are created for therapists, bodyworkers, educators, and parents who want a deeper, integrative understanding of the nervous system, trauma, and development. They are also welcoming to anyone on a personal healing path who resonates with the blend of science, somatic work, and soul‑centered awareness.
12. What is the long‑term vision for the HELA Method™?
The long‑term vision is to train advanced practitioners around the world who can apply the HELA Method™ in their own practices, schools, and clinics, while Hela focuses on teaching, mentoring, and consulting on complex cases. This includes developing the HELA Academy, offering online certifications, and providing workshops and conferences so the method can reach families globally through a unified, heart‑centered framework.
13. Which challenges does the HELA Method™ help with?
The HELA Method™ is designed to support a wide range of neurodevelopmental and nervous‑system challenges, including autism, ADHD, sensory processing differences, learning challenges such as dyslexia, coordination and balance issues, anxiety, and emotional dysregulation. Over the past decade, Hela has worked with families and practitioners from around the world—including children who had completed other reflex‑integration programs with little change, and adults with complex histories such as multiple sclerosis—and has repeatedly seen significant shifts in focus, movement, bladder control, mood, and overall quality of life when the nervous system is met at its deepest levels.
14. Are there limits on the kinds of challenges you work with?
The HELA Method™ does not view people as labels or fixed diagnoses; it sees every challenge as an expression of how the nervous system is currently wired and how past experiences are held in the body. While Hela believes that profound change is possible, the work is always offered alongside appropriate medical and therapeutic care, with humility and respect for each person’s timing, physiology, and soul path
Is the HELA Method related to HeLa cells or medical research?
No. The HELA Method™ is a nervous-system and somatic education framework. It is not related to HeLa cells, cancer research, immunology, or biomedical science. Any similarity in spelling is coincidental.
