I know what you might be thinking, what is Primitive Reflex Integration (PRI)? What does it have to do with me? If you look up PRI online you may find a lot of information on this being for children. It is not just for children; it is for anyone.
Conditions Primitive Reflex Integration (PRI) can help
Chronic Pain, Type 2 Diabetes, Stroke, Cardiovascular disease, ADHD, Trauma, Anxiety, Autism, Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), and Insomnia. But there are so many more. Can you see why we need to pay attention to this growing modality?
Nourishing the Autonomic Nervous System
PRI (and our guest Amanda Conta Steencken) is teaching people to do gentle rhythmic movements to nourish their Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) to rediscover ease and regain their health. I learned so much researching this subject I have drafted an upcoming blog article so stay tuned….
How Does this relate to Quantum Biology?
This topic just happens to be a prime example of a Quantum Health modality. Remember, with Quantum Biology we want to do the smallest thing to get the biggest result! That is exactly what PRI is all about. Tiny movements that have a big impact on our entire body system.
My Fascination with Movement runs Deep
I may not have shared this before, but I retired from the RCAF (Royal Canadian Air Force) to become a physical therapist. With all our crazy postings being married to a fighter/test pilot and our growing family, that slowly translated to becoming a massage therapist and holistic nutritionist. I have always been fascinated by anything to do with movement of the body. I was a gymnast in my youth, a triathlete born out of my injuries and an Aerobics instructor. Deep down I would love to become a Pilates and Yoga instructor as these modalities have helped me so much over the years.
PRI for Concussions & Pain Management – Closer to Home
Until we recorded this interview with Amanda, it had escaped me that we used PRI as a modality in my 20 yr old son’s concussion protocol. Its definitely not just for babies. When you listen to this episode, you will hear Amanda quickly teach me an exercise that has been key in helping my pain management and traumatized nervous system with my recent accident and surgery. I have added this to my instructor wish list now LOL!
The way Amanda (a Neuroanatomist by background) talks about PRI makes it even more intriguing. You do not want to miss this episode with this brilliant mind!

If you are interested in these topics and want to know how to apply quantum practices and principles into your health journey, I am a Quantum Biology coach and educator. I have integrated these strategies into all that I do both personally and professionally. I am almost finished my website redesign that will showcase all of that. It is also coinciding with my 10-year Anniversary of LauraKissmannWellness! Many are realizing that Quantum and Circadian Biology will transform medicine and I could not be more excited to be at the forefront of this health revolution.
My Resource Page is coming….
You likely have heard me recommend things on Quantum Healthy podcast. There are things that make living a circadian healthy lifestyle in our modern world easier! Things like water structuring devices, blue blockers, etc. I can’t help mentioning resources, products, and books and it is also one of the reasons we are hosting CEOs of certain companies to find out more of these resources to help more people find key tools to optimize their quantum health.
You will find all of my recommendations in one place finally very soon under my new Resources tab on my website www.laurakissmannwellness.com. I am creating this so you do not have to go out hunting for the best things; I already did the research for you! Please do not hesitate to reach out and ask questions.
Episode 16 – Amanda Conta Steencken
Amanda is a classically trained musician & neuroanatomist. In 2021 she resigned from assistant professor position at Upstate Medical University in Syracuse, NY, where she taught Gross Anatomy and Neuroanatomy to first year med students, physicians assistants and physical therapists, and went back to school for training in Traditional Naturopathy. Along the way she started a Health Coaching and Wellness Education business, Horaios Wellness, LLC, where her mission is to provide accessible health and wellness information for anyone ready to take charge of their own health. She also became a Consultant for BRMT USA (where they use rhythmic movement training to integrate active primitive reflexes), and completed her certification in Applied Quantum Biology, through the Institute for Applied Quantum Biology.
She believes that INSPIRATION plus EDUCATION is the best medication. Her overarching vision is to bring the principles of Natural Law back into the health and wellness setting in order to transform the current, fear-based sick care paradigm into an awe-filled model that nourishes and sustains healthy living.
