Hi, I'm Laura, I'm the SENsory Mother!

I am a mother who understands the struggles and challenges of raising a child who sees the world differently.

I help overwhelmed parents to better understand how their child sees the world, and work with them to develop real life, practical (and simple!) strategies so that they can overcome the overwhelm (and so that EVERYONE in the family can thrive)! 

The story that led to me becoming SENsory Mother ......

I thought my son's angry, aggressive and (sometimes) dangerous outbursts were all my fault. I thought I should be able to 'discipline' all of these big feelings out of him. I thought if I shouted louder, demanded more and set firmer boundaries, I could prove that I was a good parent.

Except it didn't work. In fact....It nearly broke me. It nearly broke him.

If you're trying all the things (rewards charts, banning screen time, zero tolerance etc), and none of them are working, it's not because you're a bad parent. It's because nobody's told you that you need another approach.

I know this because, it turned out that it wasn't me, and it wasn't him. It turned it was actually autism, adhd and sensory processing differences. I needed a different approach to parenting.

If what you're trying isn't working, and you're ready to try a different approach - book a 1:1 SOS call with me. You'll leave finally feeling understood (and not blamed), and after our call I'll send you a personalised support plan detailing your next steps towards calming the chaos that you're in.
