"I started working with Pauline recently for my son and daughter who both have special needs and I highly recommend her! She has a wealth of knowledge and is a compassionate person to talk to when times are tough which is regularly. I have been looking for a service like this for many years and just when I was thinking it didn’t exist , they have come to my rescue!
I’m feeling hopeful that moving forward I will finally have the support we all need 😊"

"We have had Maria from Gentle Sensory in for a number of staff professional development sessions this year. They are always informative, engaging and beneficial for our work as educators, particularly assisting neurodiverse students or those with additional learning, behavioural or social needs."

"Absolutely beautiful staff with so much experience. Maria has made my son and I feel so welcome and comfortable. I could not have asked for a better person to help us. These guys understand on a deeper level. You'll understand what I mean when you work with them
Thank you Gentle Sensory"

"We are so lucky to have found Maria and the team at Gentle Sensory! My 6yo ASD/ADHD son really enjoys his sessions with Maria. He clicked with her on day 1 and we haven't looked back. They just get it, I don't feel like I constantly need to advocate for, or explain my sons needs and behaviours. It has been a tremendous support and relief to find this service. Highly recommend!"

"Excellent evening run by the very knowledgeable Maria. I learnt so much and have been implementing some strategies already today. I became curious about my child's presentation and noted when he was entering the yellow zone and was able to redirect him and avoid entering the red zone. Thank you much."
