Our Programmes
Our holistic, brain-based approach, based on the Melillo Method™, strengthens communication and balance between the two sides of the brain.
Progressive Programme Journey
We progressively assess key areas of brain development, starting with a Foundational Assessment to map strengths, challenges, core skills, and primitive reflexes. Sensory, Stability, and Cognitive Assessments build on this, refining thinking, movement, and learning, and the journey concludes with a Full Developmental Re-Assessment to track progress. Each stage includes a personalised home programme, with optional clinic support.
Intensive Therapy Days
Intensive therapy maximizes neuroplasticity through guided brain-based therapies, sensory exercises, and light-based techniques, starting with a full neurological assessment. Additional sessions can be added at any stage or run as stand-alone days.
Clients continue with tailored home plans, gaining confidence, focus, and practical tools for lasting growth.
Littles Rewired
Our Littles Rewired Community Programme for Preschoolers is designed to meet the needs of families in our communities who are looking for a weekly activity with a difference that supports positive development in their child. Held within our clinic this programme creates space for caregivers to connect with their child & other like-minded families, while learning knowledge & activities that will optimise their child's neurological development. If you are interested in hearing more about when the next group is beginning please reach out to us.

“ Our son's initial Assessment before arriving at the the Brain Bloom Room clinic included a grim explanation of the fact that he would never be able to excel in sport as Dyspraxia was not something that could be 'cured'. Working with the team at the Brain Bloom Room, we as parents were given a clear understanding of what wasn't working in our son neurologically and we were provided with the actual tools and practices that we needed to work on regularly with our son in order to improve his aptitude to learn, enjoy life and pursue things that may have otherwise been difficult or impossible to pursue. After a year of their guidance we are extremely happy with the outcome and the significant improvements in our son. He is excelling in sport, he's now an excellent swimmer and football player, he can concentrate for long periods of time, enjoys in-depth conversations and takes initiative to read by himself and do his school work unaided. We highly recommend the team at the Brain Bloom Room to help support and heal your child who may be experiencing inhibiting neurological difficulties.

Thanks to Michelle at the Brain Bloom Room my 12 year old is a new person. She was diagnosed with ADHD and used to struggle a lot with emotional regulation, having meltdowns daily, and getting very angry and short tempered over any little thing. She used to struggle with school work, staying focused and being proactive and resilient. We did the Brain Bloom Room programme and found Michelle to be very knowledgeable, informative and caring. She worked closely with my daughter and helped her to learn to control her emotions and stay focused. Things are no longer a challenge for my daughter and overall she is much happier and more resilient. Thank you!

“ My husband and I are both primary school teachers and have an understanding of kids, but we knew our boy was struggling with tasks that his younger sisters found easy. We were at a loss in how to help him as our strategies didn’t seem to make much difference for him. The direction you have provided has been invaluable and we appreciate your kind, caring approach and your understanding of how kids tick, and what kind of intervention will make a difference. Thanks again for all your support and expertise.”

Our daughter couldn’t remember names, even of extended family members, colours or phonic sounds. I think she knew she wasn’t connecting all the dots and people would get frustrated with her. Instructions would be given to her and she either didn’t hear or would forget and get distracted. I can now give her multiple instructions and she follows them. Her confidence has grown and she is so much more confident.”

“ Within the first month of working with the Brain Bloom Room, our son started showing a willingness to do homework. His handwriting and swimming have improved and he can now listen to and focus on his instructions from his Coach. He can now ride a bike without training wheels and he is better at social skills, making friends and keeping them.”

"We are eternally grateful for the support and intervention our son has had with Michelle and Reihana. We started at the Brain Bloom Room when our son was 9 years old; he had poor balance and core strength and a lot of difficulty concentrating, particularly in the classroom. He couldn't look away and back at his book and be able to continue with his work as his eyes wouldn't stay still for him to be able to refocus. There were other challenges, including behaviour and self-regulation. He was falling behind with his schoolwork and displaying disruptive behaviour in the classroom. Since working with you all at the Brain Bloom Room he has avoided any sort of diagnosis and progressed so much, we are so eternally grateful. He is progressing well at school and we have tools to continue to use. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts."
