The short version
- The first call is a free 15 minute conversation with Adi or Dana, with no obligation to book anything after.
- No diagnosis is needed, and you can be on an NHS waiting list. We're not medical doctors, and we don't diagnose.
- Available in clinic in Mill Hill, London, or remotely for families anywhere.
- Research on our approach is limited, so we can't promise results, and we're happy to say if we don't think we're the right fit.
What to Expect
A conversation to help
you find the next step.
You may have already tried advice, therapies and strategies. This call is a chance to speak with Adi and Dana, practitioners who are also parents, and find out honestly whether what we do might help your family.
Tell us about your child
Share what you're seeing at home, at school and socially. We listen without judgement.
We explain how we work
We walk you through primitive reflex work and nervous system support in plain language, and what the evidence does and doesn't show.
We tell you honestly if we're the right fit
Every child is different. We'll say honestly what we think the right next step looks like, whether that's the Intensive, the Remote Programme, a Clarity Day, or something else.
You leave with more clarity
Even if we're not the right fit right now, our aim is that you leave with a clearer picture of your options.

Has frequent emotional meltdowns
Has delayed or unclear speech
Finds learning hard or exhausting
Seems anxious or overwhelmed
Has poor balance or coordination
Struggles to settle or sleep
Finds social situations difficult
Is a very sensitive or selective eater
Needs a lot of support with daily tasks
In Plain Terms
The order we work in.
1
Regulation
Help the nervous system feel safe, so your child isn't stuck in fight, flight or shutdown.
2
Movement
Build balance, coordination and body awareness, the physical foundation the brain relies on.
3
Reflexes
Gently help early automatic reflexes finish switching off, so they stop getting in the way.
4
Learning & Communication
Focus, language and independence get a steadier base to build on.
Why Parents Choose Us
Different at every level.
We don't just manage behaviour on the surface. We look at what may be driving it underneath, and support the brain and body to work together. That is our approach, and it isn't the only way to help a child.
Melillo Method certified
We look at the nervous system as well as the behaviour. Research on this approach is limited.
Posture, balance and movement
We look at how the body may relate to focus and regulation, alongside behaviour.
Ongoing parent support included
Guidance included as part of the programme, so you're not left figuring it out alone.
In clinic or remote worldwide
Mill Hill, London clinic, and remote programmes for families elsewhere.
No diagnosis needed to start
We work with children on and off diagnosis pathways. You don't need a label to begin, and we don't diagnose.
1000+

In Parents' Words
What some parents
tell us.
These are quotes from real families. Individual experiences vary, and we can't promise the same for every child.
★★★★★
"He is calmer now, his focus has improved, he's exploring everything around the house which he wasn't doing before, and his sleep has improved."
★★★★★
"Very caring and truly have your best interests at heart. Check ins from Dana help to keep you focused and they are always there with support and any extra questions."
Common Questions
Questions parents ask
Honest answers to what parents ask us most before the call.
Yes, completely free and with no obligation. It's a 15 minute conversation to talk about your child and see whether what we do might help, before you commit to anything.
No. Your child doesn't need a formal autism or ADHD diagnosis to work with us. We work with children who are on NHS waiting lists, and with children whose parents are concerned but haven't pursued a diagnosis. We don't diagnose ourselves.
Yes. We support families worldwide through our remote programmes. Some of our families have never visited our Mill Hill clinic. The exercises and guidance are delivered so they work at home, wherever you are.
Primitive reflexes are early movement patterns that help babies organise their brain and body, and usually fade as the nervous system matures. Some practitioners, including us, believe that when they don't fully fade, they may interfere with attention, emotional regulation, coordination, posture and learning. This is debated, and research is limited. You can read more in our guide to primitive reflexes.
Every child is different, and we can't promise a timeline. Some families notice early changes within weeks to a couple of months, often in sleep or daily behaviour. Others notice little. Changes in learning and focus, where they happen, tend to build over several months.
Possibly. What we do is designed to sit alongside OT and speech and language therapy (SALT), not replace them, and we'd encourage you to keep both going. We look at the nervous system and movement, which we think may support other therapies, though that isn't established.
Research on our approach is limited and mixed, and it isn't part of standard NHS care. We can't promise results. See our page on the science behind what we do for an honest look at the evidence.
If you're worried about your child's development, behaviour or wellbeing, yes. What we do is designed to sit alongside your GP and any other professionals your child sees, not replace them.
This page is general information for parents. It is not medical advice, and it does not replace advice from your GP, health visitor, paediatrician or other health professional.
