💝 This Valentine's Day, give the gift of a stress-busting hug! Science shows that embracing your loved ones isn't just heartwarming – it's actually good for your health.

When we hug, our bodies release oxytocin (aka the "love hormone"), which helps:

• Lower stress levels
• Calm our nervous system
• Strengthen our bonds

That physical touch and pressure (proprioception and tactile input) is like a natural chill pill. So take a moment today to hold those special people in your life close. Your body and mind will thank you! ❤️

🎉 It’s half term FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!! 🎉

Happy Friday everyone!

Today was great fun delivering INSET day training to Glyncollen Primary School. Such an engaged bunch of staff and a really positive morning exploring strategies to support sensory needs in school.

INSET days are a brilliant opportunity to really think about the sensory needs of the children we support, and to reflect on how our environments and routines can be set up to meet those needs as a whole-school approach.

If this is something you’d be interested in for your school, please feel free to get in touch:

I’ll be taking a break during half term, but I’ll be back on the 23rd Feb delivering more sensory courses and INSET days.

To all the amazing teaching staff out there — have a wonderful, well-deserved week off! 💛✨ A big thank you to Glyncollen Primary School for getting me in today and making me feel so welcome 🙂🙏

Thursday’s full-day training focused on understanding sensory processing and its impact on emotional responses, behaviour and movement.

We explored the neuroscience behind sensory differences and, importantly, practical strategies that can easily be implemented in schools. The hands-on equipment session is always a highlight!

Thank you to Swansea Council Inclusion Service for recognising that sensory-informed approaches support every child — not only those with an ALN diagnosis.

If your school is looking to build confidence in this area, I’d love to help. Feel free to get in touch.

It was fantastic to spend the day on Monday with this wonderful group of teaching staff for a full day of Sensory Processing training.

We explored how sensory processing impacts emotional, behavioural and motor responses, and how small, practical strategies can make a transformative difference for children with sensory differences in education.

We also dived into the neuroscience and had hands-on experience with some of the equipment and tools I recommend for schools.

Thank you to Swansea ALN team for recognising that understanding sensory processing supports all learners – not just those with an ALN diagnosis.

Happy Friday all 😁🙌

It's been another busy week of training, in schools and charities this week. Wednesday I had the pleasure of meeting this wonderful group of teaching staff for a full day of Sensory Processing Training in the Guildhall thanks to Swansea Council ALN Team.

If anyone is interested in training for their team please have a look at www.sensorywellbeingot.com or get in touch.

Have a wonderful weekend all. 😎

It’s been a privilege to deliver two days of training exploring how sensory processing impacts children’s development and learning, emotional regulation, behavioural responses, and motor skills.

I am always so awe-inspired by foster parents who truly change the lives of children in need and make such a powerful difference every single day.

Sensory processing difficulties are known to be more common in children who have experienced trauma, neglect, or disrupted attachments — experiences that are sadly often part of foster children’s backgrounds. Research also shows that sensory processing issues are more prevalent in foster children than in the general population, which makes this training so crucial in supporting children with ALN.

I’m excited to share that additional courses are coming up:
📍 12th–13th May – Cardiff
📍 29th–30th June – Carmarthenshire

If you are a TLC foster parent, these courses offer practical strategies you can use straight away to support your child’s development, emotional regulation, and behaviour.

To find out more about the courses and to book on, please contact

Today I had the pleasure of being at the Guildhall with a brilliant group of teachers, delivering sensory processing training.

I’m always grateful for the openness and curiosity staff bring to these sessions — those moments where things start to click, and behaviours and emotional responses are viewed through a sensory lens, are incredibly powerful to witness.

What stays with me most is hearing how this understanding helps staff feel more confident and better equipped to support their pupils. I’m often told this training feels essential for all teaching staff, and that feedback really reinforces why this work matters so much.

I feel very lucky to do a job I genuinely love 😍, working alongside such reflective and dedicated professionals, and to see how small shifts in understanding can make such a big difference.

Thanks Swansea LEA for supporting this work 🙏

✨ Happy Friday! ✨

Huge thanks to Swansea Council LEA for commissioning me to deliver training focused on increasing awareness of sensory differences and practical sensory strategies. I feel so incredibly grateful to be able to deliver work I’m truly passionate about.

Understanding sensory processing needs — and how to support them — can be so transformative for the children and young people we work with. What a great way to finish the week, delivering my sensory processing training to such a wonderful group of Swansea teaching and LEA staff 👏

If you’re interested in training for your school or team please check out my website 👉 www.sensorywellbeingot.com for more information, or feel free to message me directly.

There are lots more courses coming up that Swansea school staff can access, and I’m really keen for all Swansea ALN staff to attend. If you don’t have the details yet, please get in touch.

Happy weekend everyone — it’s Friday, yay! 🎉
