Custom Home Programs for Behavior, Focus, Growth and Healthy Development

If your child experiences meltdowns, restlessness, has trouble falling asleep, staying focused, or is unusually sensitive to sounds, smells, or textures — I can help. As part of the Simplicity Parenting team, I offer a six-week, sensory-based movement program designed for your child that you can do at home.

The program, which I develop based on your observations and concerns, supports regulation and helps remove barriers to learning and development for infants to early teens. The program consists of movement and sensory activities that I have developed, as well as frank advice on strategies and sensory aids for your child..

When we meet virtually, we will go over the home program and I’ll show you how to integrate it into your child’s daily life. As you and your child enjoy going through the program together, I accompany you, answering questions about your child’s experience and progress in overcoming sensory challenges.
