Hi 🤍 I’m Caroline or Coco if you’re little.
I’m the therapist with the best praxis, beautifully organised therapy spaces, and making everything mooi.

I’ve been an occupational therapist for 9 years. For 6 of those, I’ve grown inside the walls of SenseAbility Studios. Since September 2023, I’ve been building my own practice within SenseAbility, stretching, learning, and refining every step along the way.

If there’s one thing I believe deeply, it’s this:

✨ Relationship before anything else. ✨

When a child feels safe…
When they feel heard…
When they know we see them and not just their challenges…
That’s when therapy truly begins and we can implement all of the Sensory Integration and DIR Floortime techniques.

I love working with children and parents to support:
• Sensory regulation and integration
• Parent coaching
• Sensitive & busy nervous systems
• Families walking tender developmental journeys

One of my favourite spaces in the practice? Our Spandex swing.
That soft cocoon in the middle of the room holds so many stories. For some children, it’s their safe haven. For others, it’s a monumental moment of bravery. For me? It brings calm and quiet gratitude.

It represents everything I love about my job: safety, challenge, regulation, growth.

I believe deeply that this work is a calling. That we are entrusted with sacred seasons in families’ lives. And that when we show up with wisdom, humility, and love, growth follows.

I’ve had the privilege of being mentored for the past 6 years, and I’m still learning every day alongside incredible therapists and the families we serve. We truly grow each other here.

And I’m grateful, deeply grateful, that I get to do this work.🤍

Hi there! I am Mieke. I’m the heart, dreamer and the one that opened the doors of the studio we all know and love as SenseAbility studios. 👋.

This Valentine’s Day feels like the perfect time to share what I love most about what I do:

❤️ 13 years of loving working with babies, kids and their families
❤️ 12 years of loving doing things my own way and running my own private practice
❤️ 7 years of loving teaching and mentoring young OTs ❤️ 6 years of loving stimulation groups and running our SenseAble baby stimulation groups

But the real love story?

It’s mentorship and giving back to our OT profession and helping young OTs set up their own practice within mine and growing their love for the amazing work we do. I am deeply passionate about guiding and growing the incredible OTs in my practice. Every therapist you see here is someone I love dearly and have and still mentor closely. When we know better, we do better… even if it means I’m changing systems, rooms, or therapy plans on a weekly basis 😉

I love a clinical challenge. I love thinking differently. I love learning with children and their families because they are always our greatest teachers.

My therapy heart beats strongest for:
💖team work
💖Relationship-based therapy
💖Play-based therapy
💖Following the child’s lead
💖DIR Floortime💖
💖Working with little ones in their earliest developmental stages

My favourite thing: our play house. There is something magical about expanding imaginary play and building stories, roles, problem-solving, and connection. I’m especially passionate about creating larger play spaces where children can move in and out of a playhouse environment, integrating sensory experiences, praxis, social engagement, and imagination all in one dynamic therapeutic space.

When sensory integration principles meet rich, symbolic play within a safe relationship that’s where the real growth happens.

So today, I’m celebrating the love I have for this work, this team, and the incredible children and families who trust us every day.

Today, we celebrate the mommies at our practice.

We celebrate your incredible strength, unwavering love and endless patience. We know the joys but also the struggles that come with raising a child. And we especially know all of this is amplified when it comes to raising a child with sensory processing difficulties.

We see everything you do, the pillar of strength you are and we celebrate you today.

We celebrate the moms who:
- advocate tirelessly, - work so hard to understand the jargon that comes with raising a child with sensory difficulties
- celebrate the small wins that others might miss or take for granted
- calm meltdowns even when they feel like melting down
- do everything to get their child to new heights
- celebrate when their child masters something that comes naturally to others
- are raising sensory intelligent children
- are balancing work, home, therapy appointments and everyday life with grace
- are their child’s voice when they don’t have one
- endure so much and keep showing up

We are so privileged to be able to work with the moms we do. Thank you for trusting us with your heart and your children. We cannot do what we do without you.

Thank you for being the best mom to your child.

Happy Mother’s Day from all of us at SenseAbility Studios.

If you’ve met one autistic person, you’ve met one autistic person.

Autism exists on a spectrum—just like the spectrum of light, each part is unique. It’s not a one-size-fits-all diagnosis. Every individual has their own challenges and their own incredible strengths.

At SenseAbility Studios, we support each child and parent in navigating their “neurospicy” world. What may be difficult for one person might come naturally to another. Our goal is to empower children and parents, helping them engage in everyday life and tasks that can be especially challenging for those with sensory integration difficulties.

We are honored to be part of these amazing children’s lives every day. Today, we celebrate their unique differences—the very things that make them who they are. These differences should never be a reason for exclusion or judgment, but rather a reason to uplift, support, and celebrate them!

Today we celebrated a very special birthday! Happiest of birthdays to our Caroline (Coco to many). You make the children you see blossom into the best version of themselves. You are always striving to do better and be better everyday (even though we think you are already perfect just the way you are). You give 110% and you are always eager to give a helping hand to your colleagues and the children and their families. Happy birthday to the person with the biggest heart we know. We are so privileged to have you as part of our team. Here is to many more.
