About

Hi, I'm Vanessa!

"I help parents and educators to understand sensory needs, enabling them to create enriching and balanced lives for their children"

My mission

"Make the world a more compassionate and open-hearted place, by embracing sensory differences and promoting inclusivity. I aim to inspire change and acceptance, through dedicated education and advocacy"

My Path to Empowering Change

My journey in supporting children with diverse support needs has been extensive and fulfilling. Starting in behavior intervention, I transitioned into school-based occupational therapy, where I've spent over 12 years. My passion for program development, team building, and advocacy, has driven me to develop effective protocols and training, as well as meaningful interventions. Through these experiences, I am committed to fostering environments where every child can thrive and feel understood.

Fueling Change with Passion and Purpose

Driven by a desire to make a meaningful change, I saw a pressing need for understanding and acceptance within our school systems and communities. My motivation stems from a commitment to fostering a nurturing and inclusive environment where every individual feels valued. I strive to create spaces that embrace diversity and promote sensory awareness, paving the way for a more compassionate and accepting community.
