Before behaviour, before learning, before confidence — there’s the nervous system.
We exist to help children and families rebuild from the ground up.
Because lasting change doesn’t start with managing symptoms.
It starts with understanding the system that drives them.
At Physically Primal, we bridge the gap between functional neurology, movement, and medicine to help children — and their families — reconnect with their natural capacity to grow, learn, and thrive.
Our Story
Physically Primal was born from a deep belief: that the human body is built for adaptation, not limitation.
After years working across rehabilitation, functional health, and neuro-developmental therapy, Nicole Fearnell saw the same pattern over and over again — families chasing answers, trying different therapies, getting temporary relief, but never understanding why their child struggled.
That frustration became a mission.
Drawing on disciplines such as functional neurology, developmental movement, functional medicine, and biomechanics, Nicole developed a system that looks at the root of every challenge — the nervous system.
Today, Physically Primal stands for a new kind of care:
One that blends science and empathy.
Structure and play.
Function and freedom.
Our Philosophy
We believe every child holds infinite potential — but potential can only emerge when the body and brain communicate clearly.
Our work focuses on restoring that communication.
We don’t treat symptoms; we re-engineer the systems beneath them.
We rebuild from the foundations — movement, posture, sensory integration, and metabolic support — upward to learning, attention, and emotional regulation.
Because when the brain and body reconnect, everything changes.
Our Core Pillars
Functional Neurology
Enhancing the brain’s ability to process, adapt, and integrate sensory information — improving focus, balance, and regulation.
Neuro-Movement & Physical Integration
Using primal and developmental movement patterns to strengthen neural pathways, refine motor skills, and build confidence in the body.
Biomechanics & Structural Support
Aligning posture and structure to improve communication between the nervous system and the musculoskeletal system — ensuring stability from the inside out.
Targeted Nutrition
Supporting neuroplasticity and immune resilience through nutrient-dense, sensory-friendly foods that feed both the body and the brain.
Meet Nicole Fearnell
Founder | Functional Neurology | Functional Medicine
Nicole combines over a decade of experience in rehabilitation, paediatrics, and functional health with an unrelenting curiosity for how the human body learns, adapts, and heals.
Her work bridges the gap between functional neurology and real-world application, helping families understand the why behind their child’s challenges and giving them practical pathways to progress.
Our Promise
To treat every child as a whole system — not a set of symptoms.
To empower every family with understanding — not confusion. And to redefine what progress looks like:
not perfection, but connection, curiosity, and capacity.
The Physically Primal Difference
We don’t do “one-size-fits-all.”
We design evolutionary care — tailored to the individual nervous system.
