Sensory processing refers to the way the brain processes and responds to information from our sight, sound, smell, taste, touch and movement senses. For each sense, the brain has a unique “capacity”, determining how much sensory input the brain needs to be alert and how much the brain can handle before it overloads and a stress response is triggered. Our sensory processing profile impacts every part of our being, for example the quality of our concentration, if we can spot mistakes in our work, how we prefer to socialise and relax, how we relate to others etc.
Both service offerings are provided face to face and online. Sensory coaching can also be provided in a group setting.
