The Sensory Side of Parenting:
Unlock the Sensory Secret to Smoother Parenting and More Peaceful Moments
Everyone says, “just stay calm.” But it's just not that easy.
You are trying your hardest - but you're overwhelmed, snappy, emotional and absolutely exhausted.
Turns out, your sensory system has a lot to say about that.
This is the missing key to smoother parenting no one ever told you about— and honestly? Might just make the biggest difference.
In just one hour, you’ll get to know your own unique sensory profile—how it might be adding to your overwhelm, stress, and anxiety…and how it can also be the key to easing it.
You’ll walk away with more calm, clarity, and confidence to be the parent you want to be — even when life’s tricky (because let’s be honest, parenting rarely runs smoothly).
Parenting a child with additional needs is hard. Like, really hard.
And often, it’s not our kids that make it the hardest. It’s the systems, the environments, the expectations.
But in the middle of all that… there’s us. The part that gets forgotten, or pushed to the bottom of the priority list.
What if I told you there’s a missing key—something that could help not just your kids, but you too?
There’s a system within us that can support us in times of stress or overwhelm… but when it’s out of balance, it can add to our anxiety. And most of us haven’t even been told about it.
It’s your sensory system.
Stick with me here. You might remember something about the sensory system from school (a while ago now, for some of us). Maybe your child has seen an occupational therapist or had a sensory assessment. Or you’ve heard people talk about it and thought, “Yeah, but that’s not about me. Sensory stuff is for kids, not adults.”
But I’ve got something that might just change the game.
Something that can make a real difference to your mental health and well-being—and help shift things from chaos and overwhelm to a sense of calm and pockets of peace.

The Parent Pause Moments are designed to be exactly what they say on the tin. A moment of pause.

Meet Liz Evans - The Untypical OT
A Highly Experienced Occupational Therapist Specialising in Parental Burnout, Mental Health & Sensory Wellbeing. An occupational therapist for parents!
Liz has supported countless families over the years and knows, both professionally and personally, how often parents and carers end up at the very bottom of their own priority list. Their challenges are rarely seen, let alone understood—and that needs to change.
It’s become her mission to bring awareness to the mental health and well-being of parents and carers, to help them feel less alone, and to celebrate the quiet, powerful work they do every day in raising the next generation of brilliant, neurodiverse minds.
But Liz doesn’t just know this from her work—she’s lived it.
As a solo parent to two children, one of whom is neurodivergent, she’s navigated EHCP's, faced tribunals, and experienced the realities of a broken SEND system. All while juggling work, parenting, mental health, her own health, and dyslexia.
Liz has trained with the SI Network and in Sensory Attachment Intervention, and has spent years supporting children, young people, and their families in understanding how their unquie sensory systems impact on stress, anxiety, overwhelm, burnout and well-being. Her approach gently helps parents tune into their own sensory needs—because this is system often overlooked and sometimes not even known about. It plays a huge role not just in our children's regulation, but in our own ability to cope, recover, and feel well.
