Rezzimax is a handheld vibrational therapy tool we use to gently stimulate the vagus nerve, helping the nervous system shift out of fight-or-flight and into a calmer, more regulated state. The targeted vibrations support the brain and body’s ability to relax, reset, and communicate more effectively.

When a child’s nervous system is stuck in a constant state of tension, it can show up as headaches, jaw clenching, poor sleep, irritability, or difficulty settling their body. For many families, these signs are easy to overlook or are treated as isolated issues.

At Brain Hub Kids, we look at regulation through the lens of the nervous system.

🧬 To rewire the brain, three key chemicals have to fire in the right order.
1️⃣ Adrenaline – wakes the brain up.
2️⃣ Acetylcholine – focuses learning on the right area.
3️⃣ Dopamine – rewards success and locks it in.

That’s why movement, fun, and celebration are built into every therapy session. It’s neuroscience in action.

💥 When adrenaline, acetylcholine, and dopamine align, learning sticks.

That’s how we help kids thrive from the brain up.

If your child struggles with sensory overload, emotional outbursts, or learning difficulties, you may feel lost as you try to navigate their care and education.

These issues are often linked to primitive reflexes and brain imbalance, the core focus of the Melillo Method, delivered exclusively at Brain Hub Kids, a licensed Melillo Method Centre located in Sydney Australia.

We can help you uncover what is really going on in your child's brain and help implement strategies that help them thrive.

If your child struggles with big emotions, frequent meltdowns, or gets overwhelmed easily, it’s not because they’re “too sensitive.”
There’s a real neurological reason behind emotional regulation difficulties, and understanding it can change everything.
This article explains what’s happening in the brain and how you can support your child with more confidence and clarity.

By around 12 months, there are three key milestones every child should be working toward.

As Dr. Melillo explains, we expect to see:
• a few independent steps
• a few spoken words
• strong social engagement, eye contact, pointing, waving, smiling

If these aren’t showing up, it’s not something to “wait and see.” It’s a developmental red flag.

Very often, delays at this stage are linked to retained primitive reflexes, early reflexes that should have switched off but didn’t. When that happens, brain development can stall.

At Brain Hub Kids, using the Melillo Method, we assess these reflexes and support the brain so children can get back on track during critical developmental windows.

Milestones matter. Timing matters. Early support matters.

Food allergies, intolerances, and sensitivities are not the same thing.
Allergies are fast immune reactions.
Intolerances affect digestion.
Sensitivities are delayed and can show up as brain fog, mood changes, sleep issues, or gut symptoms.

And here’s the key part.
When the gut is inflamed or out of balance, it can affect the brain and nervous system too.

If you’re not sure what’s driving your symptoms or your child’s, you don’t have to guess.

Primitive reflexes. Brain balance. Neural development.
These are the hidden forces shaping your child’s behaviour, focus, coordination, and emotional responses, but most parents never hear about them.

This Ultimate Guide breaks it down clearly and shows how the Melillo Method supports healthier, more balanced development.

One of the very first milestones after birth is something many parents don’t realise is so important, the rooting and sucking reflex.

As Dr. Melillo explains, this reflex is what allows a baby to latch and feed. And we see a clear pattern: the majority of non-speaking children we work with had difficulty latching from the very beginning.

That early feeding struggle can be one of the first warning signs that key primitive reflexes aren’t switching on when they should and when that happens, brain development can be delayed.

The earlier these reflexes are identified and supported, the better the outcome.

That’s why, through the Melillo Method Australia, we focus on stimulating and integrating these early reflexes so children can meet the milestones that matter most for brain development.

Early signs matter. Early support matters.

🏫 Does your child slump over their desk or struggle with swimming? It could be the STNR reflex still active.
This reflex helps babies move from crawling to standing, but if it doesn’t integrate, it affects posture, focus, and coordination in class.

✅ Try this: have your child on all fours.
Look down, then up.
If their arms or legs bend when they move their head, STNR might still be on.

“Cat-cow” stretches (arching up, then down) help strengthen posture and make classroom learning easier.
