My goal is to help you understand the "why" behind your child’s actions.

Every behaviour has a reason, and my mission is to support you in uncovering what’s truly driving your child, so you can feel more connected and confident in meeting their needs.

Things I love - the incredible creativity and curiosity my son exhibits multiple times per day.

Things I don’t love - cleaning up after said creativity and curiosity

I woke up this morning to B trying to make a parachute for his oatmeal muffin using a latex glove and scotch tape; followed by him washing his collection of turtle egg shells that he collected last summer. 🤷‍♀️

One of my all time favourite things is helping families create spaces in their homes that work for them.

Story Time: When I was younger I wanted to be an interior designer. I loved flipping through magazines (anyone else remember Girls Life?) and cutting out scaled replicas of my furniture so I could play with colour and layout of my bedroom. Over the years, my love of biology and psychology won out and I became an occupational therapist, but I still get so much joy out of creating beautiful yet functional spaces ("luckily" for me, we're a military family so we get a new home to decorate every few years 😂).

Around this time last year, I started offering a service to clients who were struggling to create spaces in their homes that met the needs of their child, children, or whole family. I've gotten great feedback about how much having a customized space has helped these families. (One family even called me their secret weapon for regulation - NBD! 💁‍♀️)

When I first meet with families, we discuss what's working and what isn't working. We then create a sensory profile (or profiles, depending on the needs of the family) and I get to work. I dig around until I find the perfect equipment recommendations for the needs (and budget) of the family. I also make recommendations on how to lay out your space to get the most out of it. You get a full report with information on what the sensory needs are, equipment suggestions (with links so you don't have to find them yourself), and a drawing of how to lay out your space. Don't have a full room to dedicate? That's ok too, we can look at bedrooms, closets, tents, corners... whatever works for you!

This is a great way to decide what to look at purchasing for the holidays too, so you don't waste your money on toys that may not work for your child.

PS - I don't have a waitlist right now!

PPS - Many of the families I have worked with have Ontario Autism Program funding. I am registered with them as a provider and my services and the cost of the equipment have been covered for most families.

December is just around the corner and I don't know about you, but I'm starting to think about all the ways to make the holidays magical for my kiddos. One of the projects I take on every year is creating an advent calendar. Last year, I decided to create a sensory-motor advent calendar to share with everyone and I'm sharing it again this year!

This resource is great if you're looking to count down the days to Christmas or even if you're looking for a few festive activities to keep the kids busy while you sneakily eat cookies behind their backs.

What do you think? Is this how I should brand myself from here on out??

I’m working on a multi-session family regulation program… What are your biggest pain points as a family? What is the most stressful part of your day/week? Where would you like to see things improve?

This new systematic review consisting of 31 studies investigated patterns in individuals with - the researchers found that individuals with ADHD showed a significantly higher prevalence of sensory differences across all four domains of the Sensory Profile assessment compared to those without ADHD.

Working on yet another custom sensory space for a client. This is seriously the best part of my job. I love interviewing families, learning as much as I can about their kid(s) and creating spaces that work for their homes, budgets, and unique needs.
