Sensory Foundations
A self paced programme to help you identify your child’s sensory needs and create a sensory diet to best support them.
Swap the chaos for calm by understanding how best to overcome your child's sensory challenges and how to implement these strategies effectively to transform your family home into a happy, positive environment that brings you all joy.
maybe your home feels like this...
You resent the constant "walking on eggshells" feeling and judgement from others, because parenting has been so much more challenging than you thought it would be.
You are completely overwhelmed with all of the challenges that every day brings, in fact you just want one day without crawling into bed exhausted at the end of the day. But you have no idea where to even start overcoming this in a way that feels right for your family.
You are stuck, accepting that every day will involve struggles, tears and tantrums, because you haven't had the support you need to experience family life in any other way.
You envisaged a life for your family and want to understand how you can best support your child so that they can thrive!
I'm going to take a guess that...
You watch other families around you seemingly manage day-to-day family life with ease and secretly wonder...
"What am I doing wrong? Why isn't this happening for me and my family?"
IT'S YOUR TURN NOW!
_______________
You can create a happy and positive family life that feels really, really good.
Supporting your child's sensory needs, creating a calmer home environment and having way more fun as a family in the process.
You don't have to be the confused, overwhelmed and exhausted parent that spends all their time walking on eggshells and worrying about what tomorrow will bring.
You can make the positive changes that feel right for your family.
You just need some guidance and support along the way.
There's no 'one way' to best support your child's sensory challenges, and that is why you're finding it SO difficult trying piece together the puzzle by yourself.
If you feel like all of the sensory advice you've read about on the internet, or the advice booklet you've been given by your OT before being discharged, isn't actually making any difference, then that's a sign that the strategies you are trying are not specific to YOUR child's needs.
But you can't stand to continue the way you are, stuck in this continuous loop of upset and distress, because you know that your whole family are at breaking point.
It's my job to take you from a confused and overwhelmed parent, to a more confident, calm and positive parent that is able to understand and advocate for your child's sensory needs and allow you to spend more quality, enjoyable time as a family.
I'll even give you the tools so that you can help overcome your child's sensory needs in 3, 6 and 12 months+ time - the process I guide you though will last you a lifetime!
It's time to do things differently.
It's time to implement a step-by-step plan.
No guesswork. No stress. No countless hours researching for the "answer".
Because helping your child overcome their sensory challenges can actually be fun and easy.
It can even become you and your child's favourite thing to do - yep, trust me!

Oh and did I mention you'll be able to achieve this in an hour a week?
Sensory Foundations was designed by a mum, for a mum (and/or dad!).
Bitesize videos that you can watch while cooking dinner, or listen to while driving. And a workbook that you can print off to keep notes and was specifically designed to guide your thinking to keep you right on track!
Wondering what your family life could look - and feel - like after Sensory Foundations?
Sensory Foundations is centered around
YOUR CHILD'S UNIQUE SENSORY NEEDS
All children are unique and process sensory information differently, which is why I have created the 4 Step Sensory Solutions Pathway
I help YOU from feeling overwhelmed with sensory behaviours, to feeling confident in weaving sensory activities in to your child's every day!
4 Step Sensory Solutions Framework
Throughout this journey, I will be providing you with the knowledge and skills to support your child's sensory needs.
This isn't like any programme you've seen or experienced before...
I'm so excited to welcome new families to this amazing learning experience, that is truly unlike anything out there!
Imagine what your family's life would be like if...
- You could easily manage your child's sensory needs
- You could visit family, eat out, go to a birthday party or have a family day out without walking on egg-shells waiting for a meltdown
- You could choose an outfit from their wardrobe and not worry about the tears and upset when getting dressed
- You could develop a stronger bond and relationship with your child now that you fully understand their needs
