Jumped on the caricature bandwagon. I no longer have a baby on my hip, but I am supporting new moms with child development! I guess this is my sign to finish that course I’ve been working on!

🌟It’s been awhile so I thought I would re introduce myself!🌟

👋🏼I’m Sarah, owner of Sensationally Balanced.

I have been an OT for over 30 years, most of which have been in the Chicagoland area.

👶I found my niche in pediatrics and when my kids were diagnosed with severe food intolerances, I fell in love with all things holistic health related. From nutrition to genetics to using low toxic products, I have researched it! 💻

👶At Sensationally Balanced, we specialize in kids under the age of 10, and those with ADHD and Autism. Recently I have branched out to offer services to new parents. 👶

If you are interested in working together, you can join our email list or scroll the website for more information.

📱Follow on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok.

❤️I am so excited to continue to grow this year. Most of our referrals are word of mouth and would love for you to tell all your friends about what we have to offer. 

💓Thank you for supporting my journey!

New neuroscience research shows that children save their hardest emotions for their mothers because their nervous system physically changes in her presence. Brain scans reveal that when a child is reunited with their mother during moments of stress, the stress circuits in the brain deactivate up to five times faster compared to being comforted by anyone else. As the stress response drops so quickly, the emotions that were held inside finally spill out, leading to crying, meltdowns, or sudden emotional release.
This happens because a mother acts as a child’s primary “regulating force.” Her voice, touch, scent, and presence trigger deep biological responses that calm the amygdala and signal safety to the nervous system. Once the body no longer feels threatened, the child can let go of the emotional weight they had been carrying, even if it appears as overwhelming feelings.
Researchers emphasize that this behavior is a sign of secure attachment, not misbehavior. It means the child feels safe enough to express what they suppressed while managing the outside world. Mothers often witness the hardest emotions not because they cause them, but because they are the safe space where healing begins.
This insight reminds parents that emotional closeness plays a powerful role in a child’s neurological development. A mother’s presence literally reshapes how the brain processes stress, proving that love and connection are among the strongest regulators of a child’s emotional world.
