About Us
At Head Over Hills we use our unique understanding of physiology and neurodevelopment to bring a fresh lens to situations causing you or your family tension.
Looking at challenges from the perspective of retained primitive reflexes can bring new awareness and understanding about what is actually happening in the body and an opportunity to work to integrate reflexes, develop and mature the brain and sensory system, mature the stress response and decrease the challenges beign experienced.
The process is gentle, yet powerful and effective. We use the Rhythmic Movement Training International (RMTi) modality in our sessions which children and adults find easy to engage with, flexible and manageable in sessions and at home! We love its guiding principle of less is more!
We love nothing more than seeing entrenched challenges shift and new ability and ease appear in individuals and within families. None of us are short on effort, at Head Over Hills we help you direct your effort intentionally so you can see and experience the change you need! We always make it our goal to determine the biggest outcomes from the smallest changes to your current life.
Nikki Riemann - Owner & Founder
BTeach(Sec), GDLP, LLB, BHlthSc, registered RMTi Consultant, ph360 Endorsed Health Coach, Parenting360 Co-developer and Facilitator
Nikki is a registered Rhythmic Movement Training international (RMTi) Consultant based in the Adelaide Hills.
Nikki stumbled across Rhythmic Movement Training in 2013 thanks to exploring options for one of her sons. The positive and profound changes such a relatively easy and small intervention could make astounded her. She was fascinated and in order to know more, completed her foundational RMTi Training in Melbourne with RMTi founder, Moira Dempsey. She became a RMTi Consultant in 2017 and most recently has been undertaking her instructor level training to enable her to teach RMTi.
Nikki works with adults and children using RMTi to integrate retained primitive reflexes and to ease associated challenges. She particularly enjoys working with children of all ages and delights in seeing them actively participate in the sessions and very quickly own and take control of their sessions. The profound improvements and changes they see and feel in their bodies continues to amaze her.
As a mum to 3 boys, one with complex and multiple disabilities, Nikki learned to look beyond the generic and standard protocols when seeking interventions for her family. She always seeks additional knowledge, research and understanding that can be incorporated with traditional approaches to enhance and personalise therapy and care.
Nikki has a deep belief that life and circumstances, no matter how entrenched they seem, can always be improved. She has developed a keen interest in supporting people and families to make positive change within their lives and to experience the increased well-being and shift of perceived blocks in their lives due to retained reflexes or sub-optimal health.
She thoroughly enjoys the opportunity to work with families and individuals to realise the individuality of each family member and discover the increased health, ease and happiness that's achievable.
When life allows, Nikki enjoys finding some sunshine or a beach (preferably both together!), reading, travelling, pilates, bodyboarding, running, swimming and cooking good food - not just food that the kids will eat!
