Sensorium began as a vibrant art therapy studio and workshop/gallery space—a place of colour, creativity, and connection for neurodivergent children, teens, and adults. In those early days, Sensorium was a refuge. A place where art was a language, where behaviour was understood in context, and where people could explore who they were without the pressure to explain.

It was a space that believed in community connection and the healing power of creativity, which was something we so desparately needed coming out of covid. I poured everything into it—my passion, training, and lived experience—and it gave so much back. I watched people blossom through mess, movement, drawing, and silence. I learned how to really see people. And I saw what was missing in so many of their lives - its simply community understanding and belonging. But navigating the trauma of a post-covid Melbourne and the never ending changes to the NDIS, particularly to art therapy, unfortunatley saw the closure of Sensorium Studio. I saw clearly, the hidden cost of traditional support systems—how ballooning costs, accessability, government funding can impact access to support and therapy, and on top of that, further impact executive dysfunction, shame, guilt and chronic burnout thats makes accessing help already feel impossible.

Sensorium has evolved, but its heart remains the same. Today, I continue to support neurodivergent children, adults and families through flexible counselling, capacity building, education, creative programs and community initiatives. Whether we're meeting online, in your home or out in the community, my goal is still the same—to help colourful minds better understand themselves, build confidence and find their flow.
