Are you struggling with daily activities that once seemed effortless due to sensory challenges after an injury, illness, or major life transition? Do loud sounds, bright lights, and overstimulation make you feel the need to withdraw from the world? Your brain is foggy and everything just feels exhausting? Maybe you've been told that mindfulness may help but you don't know where to start or your thoughts just begin to race when you do? Our coaching support can help.
Having personally experienced the challenges of sensory overload due to migraines and an autoimmune condition, I understand how difficult it can be when sensory overload disrupts your ability to perform the activities you once enjoyed. Our collaborative and experiential approach aims to enhance your understanding of the behaviors, triggers, routines, and environments that impact your sensory experiences. With our guidance, you'll discover tools that promote self-compassion, mindfulness, and sensory exploration, enabling you to alleviate overload and prioritize your nervous system's well-being.
Guided by our coaching, through an OT lens, you'll identify and set realistic, attainable goals and daily intentions. Through this process, you'll learn techniques to reduce stress, improve self-care practices, and boost your ability to concentrate. We're here to support you as you return to your daily activities and reduce your suffering from sensory overload.
This service focuses on an educational and self-management approach. While our coaching is therapeutic in nature, it is not considered therapy or a medical intervention. Let us help you regain control and improve your quality of life.
Occupational Therapy services encompass the evaluation and intervention for individuals experiencing cognitive and sensory processing challenges subsequent to a neurological incident or diagnosis, such as a mild traumatic brain injury, post concussion symptoms, functional neurological disorder or stroke. Our specialized services cater specifically to individuals grappling with persistent symptoms of sensory overload that impede their daily functioning, placing a strong emphasis on sensory regulation. Kindly note that the provision of occupational therapy services is restricted to residents of British Columbia (BC). It is important to highlight that while these services are not covered by the Medical Services Plan (MSP), certain extended health plans may provide coverage.
Understanding your functional needs and personal sensory preferences is essential when creating a space in your home where you can retreat. Working with an occupational therapist with design knowledge is a first step in building a safe and accessible space that immediately gives reassurance to the nervous system and ease in day to day tasks. An accessibility consultation can provide you with recommendations on must have accessibility features and equipment, as well as, a well thought out space plan that can assist with communication to designers and contractors. .
