"I had mind blowing sessions with Andi, her unique approach to OT made my healing journey smoother and better. I am so blessed to have met her" ~ T.M.
"I had the privilege of being treated by Andi while I was in hospital and going through the darkest hours of the soul. Andi offered bespoke holistic therapeutic treatment and solutions that not only assisted me in hospital but also solutions I could incorporate and use outside the hospital in my healing journey. She is a gifted therapist whose dedication to her patient’s wellbeing is unmatched by any therapist I have ever met." ~ M.M.
Sensory Processing and its Role in all Aspects of Function
There is a huge connection between sensory processing and various aspects of human functioning and it is always important to address, and treat it, as part of your therapeutic programme.
Sensory processing plays a crucial role in shaping our mental, physical, and sexual functions.
Mentally: it helps us process and make sense of the stimuli we encounter, which influences our cognition, focus, and emotional regulation.
Physically: sensory processing allows us to coordinate movements, maintain balance, and engage in activities essential for daily living. Dysfunction in sensory processing can manifest as motor coordination difficulties, increased or decreased sensitivity to sensory input, impacting physical abilities and comfort.
Sexually: sensory processing affects arousal, pleasure, and intimacy by influencing sensory perception and response to stimuli. An individual's sensory processing profile can influence their sexual preferences, sensitivity, and overall sexual experiences.
A little bit about me...
❁ I am an Occupational Therapist (OT) with over 25 years of experience working with adults and teenagers. My special interests and experience include mental health, sexual health and chronic illnesses.
❀ I pride myself on the care and interest that I provide for my patients and I am mindful of a person's physical, emotional, financial, cultural, religious and personal needs when I design a therapeutic programme for them.
