Ep. 7 - MNRI Method with Pamela Curlee

Manisha Lad

Pamela Curlee is the co-founder of the Masgutova Foundation, a non-invasive, and results-driven approach to NeuroReflex, Neurodevelopment, and Neuromodulation assistance.

This approach has had amazing results teaching children with learning challenges by building of the neurological foundation and making changes by working with neurological patterns.  

She was introduced to MNRI®, (Masgutova Neurosensorimotor Reflex Integration) in 1994 at a conference on learning and movement. A faculty member of the International Educational Kinesiology Foundation, Pamela was intrigued while listening to Dr. Svetlana Masgutova lecture about the effect of movement-oriented therapy and her MNRI® method on children who were traumatized by various manmade and natural disasters. From then on, their professional and personal relationship took root. 

She has co-authored a book with Dr. Masgutova, Trauma Recovery – You Are A Winner, describing Dr. Masgutova’s discovery of how reflex integration and specialized movements assisted children recovering from shock and pain of a railway explosion unveiled the winner from within.
