Meet the Team
BodyLink is a Silverdale-based clinic supporting children, teens and adults through a calm, non-invasive approach focused on the brain–body connection.
Our team brings complementary skills, practitioner training and experience across child development, reflex integration, neurological support and whole-person wellbeing.
We work collaboratively, with the same goal: to understand what is most relevant for you or your child and help make the next steps clearer.
Suitable for children, teens and adults. Based in Silverdale, Auckland.
Not sure where to start?
You don’t need to know which practitioner or service is right before getting in touch.
Tell us a little about what you or your child are experiencing, and we can help guide you towards the BodyLink service — and team member — that may be the most appropriate fit.
Our
Purpose
BodyLink exists to make finding the right support feel clearer and more manageable.
Families often come to us with lots of information, different opinions and uncertainty about what to do next.
We aim to provide a calmer, more practical approach — taking the time to understand the wider picture, explain things in everyday language and provide clear next steps and ongoing review.
A collaborative approach
Our team brings complementary skills and experience together, so support can be considered from more than one perspective when appropriate.
What we do
What we do
- support developmental foundations involved in learning, coordination and regulation
- support nervous system regulation, resilience and recovery
- take a whole-person view rather than focusing on one symptom in isolation
- use individualised assessments and supportive modalities where appropriate
- help families understand what may be relevant and what the next steps could look like
Who we are
Michelle is the founder of BodyLink and a qualified Neurological Integration Practitioner and Neuro-developmental Delay Therapist. She supports people across the lifespan, with a strong focus on child development, learning foundations, and whole-family wellbeing.
Michelle Grigg
Michelle began her health career as a registered nurse, completing a Bachelor of Health Science (Nursing) and working in both hospital and community settings.
Over time, she wanted approaches that better supported how the nervous system and body work together, which led her to the Neurological Integration System (NIS).
Michelle became an NIS Practitioner in 2005 and has been using this neuroscience-based approach in practice ever since.
Michelle is also passionate about infant and child development and completed a postgraduate certificate in Neuro-Developmental Delay through INPP. She’s known for being calm, thorough, and practical, with a focus on helping families understand what’s going on and what to do next, without overwhelm.
What Michelle helps with (examples):
- Learning and development support (foundations first)
- Regulation and nervous system support
- Whole-family health and wellbeing (all ages)
Janelle Lelo
Janelle is a paediatric occupational therapist, a mother of four, and someone who enjoys the energy and honesty children bring. She supports children and their families with sensory processing, motor development, reflex integration, emotional regulation, and building strong foundations for everyday participation.
She holds a Bachelor of Health Science (Occupational Therapy) and a Postgraduate Certificate in Trauma and Violence Studies. Her background includes work across both the public and private sectors in social and vocational rehabilitation, strengthening her understanding of meaningful participation in real life, not just in theory.
Janelle brings warmth and practicality into sessions, and she’s a big believer in self-care and the ripple effect it can have across family life: when we can better regulate ourselves, it often becomes easier to support and regulate others too.
What Janelle helps with (examples):
- Sensory processing and regulation
- Motor development and coordination
- Reflex integration support
- Emotional regulation skills for everyday life
Celia Buckwell
With nearly two decades of experience in the natural health industry, Celia brings a strong clinical foundation and a wealth of practical knowledge to her work. As a qualified naturopath, NIS practitioner, and supplement specialist, she has supported both practitioners and patients across a wide range of health presentations.
Celia has a particular interest in understanding the body as an interconnected system. Her approach is thoughtful and individualised, focusing on identifying underlying drivers rather than simply addressing symptoms. She values evidence-informed natural healthcare and is passionate about empowering families with clear, practical guidance that supports long-term wellbeing.
Outside of the clinic, Celia enjoys long walks with her high-energy German Shepherd and spending time at the beach whenever she can.
What Celia helps with (examples):
- Whole-person wellbeing support
- NIS-based nervous system support
- Clear, practical natural health guidance
Taylor Price
Taylor’s journey with NIS began as a patient, giving her firsthand experience of the approach before she went on to train as a practitioner herself. She completed a Bachelor of Applied Science, majoring in Human Anatomy and Physiology, followed by further training as an NIS Practitioner.

As a mother of two young children, Taylor has a particular interest in child development and learning. She is also undertaking postgraduate study in psychology, with a focus on developmental psychology.
Drawing on both her clinical experience and lived experience of neurodivergence, Taylor brings empathy, insight and an appreciation for the different ways people experience and engage with the world.
