WHAT IS NIS?
Your nervous system is the master controller of all body functions down to the cellular level. Like the conductor of a symphony, the nervous system coordinates all your bodily functions to create a balanced and sustainable state of health. When signaling breaks down between your nervous system and body (due to physical or emotional trauma, stress, infections, and chemical imbalances), symptoms can develop as your nervous system loses communication with organs, muscles, fascia, joints, and the immune and hormonal system, etc. NIS practitioners find these signaling disruptions and facilitate your nervous system to restore the electrical and chemical signaling pathways. Since your nervous system, not the practitioner, makes these corrections, NIS is 100% accurate and safe.
HOW AND WHY IT WORKS
In order to identify any disrupted signals from your nervous system to the rest of your body, I will use the NIS system (a series of prioritized protocols) holding specific anatomical contact points and performing a muscle test to identify any issues that have been pushed past your body’s tolerance levels. Once identified, NIS protocols facilitate your nervous system to re-set the circuitry for all body systems to return to their optimal potential.
Regardless of the complaint, real causes can only be resolved when the neurological circuitry that governs all body functions is considered. Only the nervous system knows why it occurs and how to rectify it. NIS has been under development since 1987 by Allan Phillips, D.O. from Auckland, New Zealand. It is based on modern neuroscience principles and traditional healing practices, including acupuncture and East Asian Medicine.
What is the Postcentral Gyrus?
It is important to know what this area of the brain can do. The postcentral gyrus is the message 'receive and dispatch' center of the brain.
When touched, sensory receptors are stimulated, which allows the brain to register the contacts being held for evaluation. The brain can then assess whether or not the associated neural circuitry is functioning properly.
If you close your eyes and have someone touch just one hair on your head, you can tell them exactly where they touched. It is the postcentral gyrus that allows you to relate to the sensation and its location.
The same principle applies to a NIS treatment. It is the postcentral gyrus that can 'acknowledge,' the relationship between the anatomical contacts being held. Once this occurs, the brain immediately begins instructing the body to make all the infinite changes required to restore function. We call this "integration" in NIS.

WHAT TO EXPECT FROM THE TREATMENT?
Regardless of your complaint, NIS will address the very causes of your symptom pattern. I will be evaluating and addressing areas of physiological and neurophysiological function that you may not even know could be related to your complaint. Some of these issues may have been present for a long time.
It is important to understand that, even though physiological change will begin from the moment you complete your first treatment, I do not always expect you to notice this improvement pattern before your follow-up visit. Also, some people may experience a healing reaction. This temporary worsening of symptoms occurs when the body is going through the process of healing itself by releasing physical or emotional toxins. Let me know if this happens to you so I can support you if possible.
I do, however, want you to know that from your first visit, NIS addresses causal issues so that you can achieve long-term, sustainable results. The changes that need to take place will often require time and patience. As you progress to 'maintenance' visits, you are more likely to experience results in a shorter time frame.
TESTIMONIALS
“
I was diagnosed with POTS last October- shortness of breath, chest pain, dizziness, high pulse, no energy, etc. I got to the point where I basically just worked and slept, and I was considering getting a desk job, so I could sit all day.
I started doing NIS with Laura this summer. I didn’t notice much my first couple of sessions, but after my 3rd session, I started to see a large reduction in symptoms, and I’ve had several people comment that I look a lot better.
Some highlights- My pulse stopped spiking above 140 when I shower and stays around 110. Previously when I went shopping, I’d come home and sit for an hour or so then put items away a couple at a time-resting between each. Last Saturday I went shopping, put things away, and cooked without sitting. I’ve also been able to not wear my compression socks most days, which has been amazing during the summer heat.
It has been great being able to start doing things again and getting my life back!”
“I was referred to Laura for the problems I was having Post Covid. Lung problems, coughing that I couldn’t seem to get better, shortness of breath, hair loss, brain fog, just a host of problems from Post Covid like an assault went through.
After a few sessions with Laura I was feeling like myself again. No more coughing, shortness of breath, my hair is growing back. I’m so thankful for Laura’s work and the kindness she showed me during that stressful time. She is an amazing lady and worth every penny for my health! ”
“I saw Laura at a wellness convention and knew nothing about what she does, but I was in so much back pain I was willing to try anything. There are no words to express what she did for me. I was living in level 7-8 pain EVERY day until she saw me. She cleared out so many things for me, not only the pain—which is now GONE and has been for over 2 months, but she also got rid of lingering Covid fog, concussion trauma and the list goes on and on. If it didn’t happen to me, I literally wouldn’t believe it. I wish for everyone what she has done for me, if you have a need, she is worth the time! Laura has been such a blessing and changed my life—I am amazed at her talent and skill and I highly recommend her! ”
“I went to see Laura to help with fatigue and brain fog that stuck around after having Covid (~3 months). After the first session, the brain fog was gone and the fatigue was reduced. As a bonus, my feeling of a compulsive need for sugar was instantly eliminated. After the second session, my mental energy levels were better than they’ve been in years and physical energy levels back to before having Covid.
NIS is also helping to alleviate a pain in my side that I’ve tried a number of treatments for with no success. It is also helping my digestive system and I feel like my overall health and energy levels are better than they’ve been in years.
I want to recommend NIS to everyone. It turns out there are a lot of things that happen over time that we get to used to that we may actually be able to fix! Give it a try!”
“I have had a pain on my left side under my rib cage for about five years. It has come and gone and then became persistent and concerning. I have spent thousands of dollars on Western medicine trying to figure out the cause and heal it. I had an endoscopy, colonoscopy, and multiple ultrasounds. They could not find the cause. I’ve had massage and acupuncture, but the pain would not go away. I’ve had 3 treatments from Laura and the pain is gone!! I would highly recommend NIS!”
“I was referred to Laura by my trusted cranial sacral therapist to help my body get rid of any lingering Covid. My husband and I both had Covid the summer of 2021. Later in the fall, he started to have a really sore, tight and inflamed jaw. The dentist said everything from his perspective looked great. I decided we should go see Laura and see if it was Covid related. Sure enough, he had quite a bit of inflammation from Covid. Laura went through all of the NIS covid protocols in his first session. A few days later, his jaw pain had fully subsided and did not return. I saw Laura as well. Through her Covid protocols, she found that Covid had settled in my heart. At first that surprised me, but then I remembered since my illness, I had experienced mild to severe chest pains, some that dropped me to my knees. Please note I am a healthy 38 year old woman. Anyway, it made sense and she helped me. It actually took two sessions for me to fully get rid of it all and I have not had chest pains since. She also has helped rid my body of other viruses that she discovered through her protocols. It really is incredibly energy work that I 100% fully believe in and know that it works. Our bodies are made of energy and being able to access that through NIS is invaluable. I have added Laura to my list of natural health practitioners who I will see as needed. She is incredibly smart with the body. I was very impressed with her. She also checked in with us after our sessions, I know she really cares about her patients! I have recommended her to a number of people already and will continue doing so. ”
“Laura began treating me with the Neurolink technique just over a month ago. To say I have been astonished is an understatement! I had been having issues with loss of smell and taste from a virus over four years ago and also some memory difficulties from a recent fall. My sense of smell is definitely improving and I continue to be amazed when I realize I am actually “smelling” life again! Taste is close to normal on most things. I have more energy and my memory is better than ever! WooHoo!! I would highly recommend Neurolink for EVERYONE! Your life and health will be improved in ways that will AMAZE you too!”
“After working with Laura and the NIS system I have noticed significant change in my body. Within the first session my sleep was much deeper and more restful, not waking up in the middle of night wide awake.
After 4 sessions I have noticed much more energy, and also a higher ability to take on life’s tasks without hesitation or the feeling of being overwhelmed. My anxiety is much lower, I feel more in my body and capable of getting things started and completed.
Finally and certainly another unexpected outcome of Laura’s NIS work has been increased libido. Overall my body feels more energetic and youthful.
Thank you Laura for your facilitation in bringing my body back to its full potential.
Best,
Dwyer McDuffee”
“After seeing Laura for a NIS treatment the first time, I felt decreased stiffness. After the second appointment, I noticed that my memory was better, with my thinking clearer, not as fuzzy. I‘m now able to remember what it is I’ve walked in the other room to get. She was also able to show me some stretches to help with my shoulder, back and leg pain. ”
