Emotional Healing —
Sensory Understanding
Supporting the mind, body, and sensory system through EFT and sensory processing.
Meet MAUREEn
I’m Maureen Brady, an occupational therapist and holistic mental health practitioner with more than 25 years of experience working with children, teens, adults, and families.
My work brings together my background in occupational therapy, my understanding of sensory processing, and Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), also known as tapping. I believe that understanding what is happening on the inside can help us find new ways forward, whether you’re working through difficult emotions yourself or trying to better understand your child.
I offer individualized EFT sessions for children, teens, and adults navigating stress, anxiety, fears, and other emotional challenges, as well as sensory processing assessments for parents who want more insight into their child’s behavior and sensory needs.
Emotional Freedom Technique
Making Space to Move Forward
Unlike many therapies, EFT, also known as tapping, focuses directly on resolving the root cause of challenging emotions. It can be used to resolve most stress-related issues and create space to move forward.
Sensory Processing
Better Understand Your Child’s Needs
When a child is struggling with behavior, transitions, clothing, sounds, sleep, movement, or other everyday experiences, there may be an underlying sensory need that they aren’t able to communicate. A sensory processing assessment can provide insight into how your child is experiencing their environment and help you identify supportive strategies.
WHO I WORK WITH:
Children and teens navigating anxiety, stress, or difficult emotions
Adults feeling overwhelmed or emotionally drained
Non-speaking Autistic individuals who type to communicate
Children experiencing sensory processing challenges
Families looking for a new and intentional path forward
Parents seeking answers about their child’s behavior
Are You Dealing With...
-
Emotional experiences and life events can affect both the mind and body, sometimes making it difficult to understand what you’re feeling or move forward. EFT, also known as tapping, can help you explore underlying root causes and triggers, reduce the intensity of difficult emotions, and work toward greater calm and resilience.
-
You may find yourself wondering why your child struggles with certain behaviors or why situations that seem simple can become overwhelming. What looks like resistance, defiance, or non-compliance may be a response to an underlying sensory challenge that your child may not have the words or ability to express. Understanding sensory processing can provide valuable insight into your child’s reactions and help you discover strategies that support their well-being.
-
Using EFT will help to identify what you are feeling (emotions and/or bodily sensations), address its intensity and along with the EFT tapping help you approach memories/experiences with greater calmness.
-
Does your child seem particularly sensitive to sounds, clothing, touch, movement, crowds, or other everyday experiences? Do they have difficulty with sleeping? A sensory processing assessment can help you better understand how your child is taking in and responding to information from their environment.
-
Our emotional experiences, bodies, environments, and nervous systems are all connected. My approach looks beyond a single behavior or symptom to consider the person as a whole and identify what may be contributing to the challenges you’re experiencing.
-
You don’t have to have all the answers before reaching out. Whether you’re looking for support with difficult emotions or trying to better understand your child’s sensory needs, we can start by exploring what’s going on and what kind of support may be helpful.
