Frequently Asked Questions

  • Sensory Smarter Coaching is a way to explore how your brain and body take in the world around you. Instead of focusing on fixing problems, we look at your sensory patterns as valuable data. Together, we identify what supports your regulation, what drains it, and how to build small strategies — what I call sensory sips — into your day so you can feel more balanced, focused, and yourself.

  • Instead of direct therapy, this work focuses on learning, shifting perspectives, and co-creating supportive strategies together. Think of it as guidance and strategy-building for everyday regulation. Your coach (me, Kailey) is an expert in sensory processing and has a background as an occupational therapist.

  • Not at all. We all have sensory processing differences that affect how we interact with the world. Many people who benefit from Sensory Smarter Coaching don’t have a formal diagnosis, or are only just beginning to explore one. Whether you identify as ADHD, Autistic, AuDHD, highly sensitive, or just “always overstimulated,” you’re welcome here.

  • Sensory sips are small, intentional strategies you can “sip” throughout your day to keep your nervous system regulated. Just like sipping water prevents dehydration, sipping sensory input helps you stay balanced. These aren’t overwhelming routines — they’re micro-shifts designed for your unique needs.

  • No, Sensory Smarter services are not covered by insurance. They are considered educational and wellness coaching. Many clients find it worth the investment for the lasting tools and strategies they gain.

  • Right now, Sensory Smarter focuses on neurodivergent adults. While I draw from my background as a pediatric OT, this space is for grown-ups who may have missed out on learning these sensory regulation skills early in life. During parent coaching, we’ll explore your child’s strengths and needs, but the primary focus is on supporting you—the parent. Together, we’ll identify how to create an environment and daily routines that support your regulation needs, so you can show up as a calm, connected, and confident support for your child.

  • Yes! Since this is considered coaching and not direct therapy, I can work with clients virtually, no matter where you’re located. Sessions are held over video call and resources are delivered digitally.
