Here’s what’s happening in your little one’s body.
Sometimes it looks like your child is being stubborn on purpose or hitting, kicking, screaming when you think they should be able to get control of themselves.
This is a cry for help and connection and a need to get their sensory system back on track.
Other signs of sensory dysregulation can include:
Increased anxiety
Irritability, saying “no” to everything
Having big emotional reactions
Difficulty with social situations
Difficulty transitioning to new tasks, and focusing on tasks
Do you feel like no one gets it?
Your friends, family, medical professionals — no one seems to "get" how grueling even the simplest of tasks like wearing clothes, taking a bath, or getting out of the house can be for you on a daily basis.
If you feel like you are always walking on eggshells so your child will stay calm, you know exactly what it’s like to raise a child with sensory challenges.
Sound familiar?
If you’re exhausted from the fights and huge meltdowns, and you're ready to break the cycle and start working with your child instead of against them, but you don't know how …
We will help you and your child move from rigidity to flexibility.
Shift the mindset:
Question: Is it sensory or is it behavior?
The answer is always YES!
Behavior is a direct result of sensory responses.
We know that cookie cutter sensory diet answers are just a band-aid that won’t last the test of time. By focusing on the relationship and the connection, and building in predictability, accommodations, and flexibility, you and your child will develop true sensory regulation skills and learn to adapt to new situations more easily.
Sensory FAQs
-
While every human is a sensory being and we all have sensory needs, the children we see struggling the most with sensory regulation might appear within these broad categories:
-Touching everyone and everything in sight, can’t keep hands to themselves
-Unintentionally hurting themselves or others, overly aggressive and unaware of how much force they are using
-Kids who appear overly clumsy but still seek out lots of opportunities to jump, spin, and crash
-Kids who tend to get overwhelmed easily by loud noises, bright lights, busy environments, and new situations
-Kids who have difficulty completing everyday routines like getting dressed, bathing, grooming, toileting and bedtime
-
Many parents are looking for help with their preschoolers and early elementary age children, but the strategies can also be implemented with babies older than six months.
-
While we will be able to support you through the diagnosis process and guide you to other professionals who can give a diagnosis, we do not formally diagnose. We have worked with hundreds of families pre-diagnosis and early diagnosis and can successfully implement proven, research-based strategies regardless of diagnosis status.
-
No. Coaching services are not a covered service under insurance, leaving flexibility in service provision and earlier assistance not reliant on diagnosis.
-
Yes! I frequently work with families in Canada and the UK, as well as the US. I have consulted in Germany and Japan as well.

Sense-Ational You
Unmet sensory needs and sensory overload contribute to an inability to focus and learn in school, as well as a variety of upsetting and disruptive behaviors, including aggression towards oneself or others.
Sense-ational You’s sensory clothing helps solve this problem through hidden functionality so that all children can have the confidence to be themselves.
All Sense-ational You’s clothing is free of sensory irritants like tags and bulky seams, and many of their clothes go beyond this to become sensory tools children can wear. From compression to sound-reducing, these sensory features allow children to remain regulated no matter where they are.
