Sensory Sensitivity, Autism, and ADHD

Who's a Good Fit For this Work

Neurodivergent clients and highly sensitive people who want structured consent, real control over pressure and environment, and care free of spiritual framing or excessive stimulation.

Who's Not a Good Fit

People expecting a noisy, chatty, highly social spa-like experience with lots of talking, stimulation, and entertainment.

Understanding What You're Experiencing

When your nervous system processes input differently, the world can feel like it's set to the wrong volume — too loud, too bright, too much contact, too many things happening at once, with no obvious way to turn it down. For some people, the body feels wired and buzzy — every sound and touch turned up too high. For others, it's more like a heavy, shut-down fatigue where everything inside feels too much and numb at the same time.

How We Approach It

We use clear consent check-ins, pressure you choose and can adjust at any point, weighted or grounding touch, and quiet, low-stimulus setups. We don't fill silence with small talk. We pace everything to your nervous system, not ours.

What to Discuss With Your Therapist

Tell your LMT what your body and senses feel like today, what kinds of touch or environments have been difficult in the past, and what would make this feel predictable rather than uncertain. Specifics are always better than generalities.

Between-Session Considerations

After sessions, some people need quiet decompression time before reengaging. Plan for that if it's true for you — don't schedule back-to-back demands immediately after.
