Sensory Mother Reviews 

I’ve found the Meltdown Response Starter Kit by Sensory Mother incredibly easy to use. In those overwhelming moments when a meltdown starts, the last thing I need is to think about what to do next. Having a sheet ready to grab and follow takes away the guesswork and gives me a clear, calming plan to work through.

One of the biggest changes I’ve noticed is that meltdowns don’t seem to escalate in the way they used to when I’m using the sheets. Instead of reacting out of panic or frustration, I feel much more steady, regulated, and in control. The guidance helps me respond rather than react, which has made a huge difference for both me and my child.

The kit has also helped me start recognising patterns in the meltdowns. Before, I often felt confused and overwhelmed, wondering why things were happening. Now I’m beginning to spot triggers, early warning signs, and common themes, which means I can support my child more effectively and with greater confidence.

Overall, this resource has been invaluable. It’s practical, easy to follow, and has helped bring more understanding, calm, and confidence into some of our most challenging moments.

Laura is wonderful. She brings fantastic knowledge, professional expertise and (above all) lived experience. She is really positive and inspiring, and yet so amazingly down to earth and approachable. She gets it! Her course is full of practical approaches that make a huge difference to managing your everyday challenges in supporting your neurodivergent child. It is also very validating, and compassionate at its core.
I also did a 1:1 session with Laura, and found this hugely beneficial - not only for bespoke advice, but also for extra support during a particularly challenging time. She really cheered me on, and that gave me the strength to keep going!

I’m so glad I came across Laura’s workshop. I was at the end of my tether wondering what was wrong with my 4 year old, after the first session I let out a sigh of relief to finally understand what was happening. The way Laura breaks it down and explains is so reassuring, and I actually feel like I’m not failing any more. Thank you!

I just wanted to share how incredibly helpful I’ve found the PAUSE method which I turned to it when I realised I wanted to start thriving in my life and in my relationship with my son, rather than just surviving. I knew I needed some support and guidance to help turn things around and I’m so glad I found this course.

The short sessions are really accessible and clearly explained. Laura breaks everything down so well, and it’s given me a much deeper insight and understanding of some of the struggles I’ve been having with my 10-year-old son. The course has helped me see things far more clearly from his perspective and understand the importance of recognising that his responses to difficult situations are physiologically mediated and not something he is choosing. I've learned that by supporting him rather than reacting, I can help prevent situations (and my own response!) from escalating which has been incredibly powerful. I now feel equipped with practical, compassionate responses that I can use in the moment.

I know I will continue to revisit this course and will need to keep reminding myself of the lessons I’ve learned. I’m truly grateful for the understanding, reassurance and tools it’s given me as I continue to move forward on my journey of thriving and building a stronger, more connected relationship with my son.

I bought Laura's method as I am currently struggling with behaviours in two of our children with very different sensory needs. I'm an Occupational Therapist and although I'm aware of sensory processing and the challenges this presents..Having someone give knowledge while also sharing their experience with empathy and compassion, has been a real encouragement to me.
A great resource! Thank you 👍

Laura is so knowledgable with both professional and personal experience which makes her so relatable! She has put together such a fabulous resource to work through and help to understand my children's behaviours and emotions and even more importantly help me to reflect on how I can support my child. I would recommend the Pause method to all parents struggling with meltdowns. There's so much included in the pack, workbooks, short videos breaking down the method into manageable chunks, opportunities to reflect and quizzes to check understanding. I would also recommend following Laura's social media for reminders and bite size advice that is so relatable to many of us in similar positions. I've been checking in with the Finding me programme too and loving the reminders to take the moments for me too. Definitely a mental health check in with myself, which is overdue and very needed now and again!

Laura is very experienced in the field of SEN education and has put all of her experience and compassion into creating a wonderful programme which is sure to be of assistance to anybody trying to cope with the demands of an autistic child or adult.
I highly recommend it!

Laura's Pause method is really informative and easy to understand, she breaks it down into easy steps and explains it in a way that no one ever has before making it easier for us parents to understand what our children are going through and what it feels like for them when they are in meltdown. Laura is also extremely kind with her time, often sending e-mails and responding personally when you may be struggling. Thank you Laura

I had so many “penny drop” moments throughout the free masterclass. Everything was so well explained and followed up with excellent ideas on how to move forward. So thankful I found her page.

The masterclass was really helpful, there is so much information out there and I've often found myself lost looking for ways I can best support my son. I found that Laura delivered an informative session in an empathic and helpful way - making me feel less alone. It was also great to have some new strategies and approaches to take away and try. Thank you.

I cannot speak highly enough of Sensory Mother and the deeply personal, thoughtful advice she offers. From the very first interaction, it was clear that her guidance comes from not only extensive knowledge and professionalism but also a place of genuine compassion and lived experience.

Her understanding of sensitive topics is truly remarkable. She navigates complex and emotional situations with such grace and care, making you feel heard, validated, and supported. What sets her apart is her ability to combine expert insight with heartfelt empathy, creating a safe space where no question feels too small or too difficult.

Sensory Mother’s advice is always grounded, practical, and deeply respectful of individual circumstances. Her words are like a comforting embrace – empowering, encouraging, and filled with hope. It’s rare to find someone who can balance professional expertise with such warmth and humanity.

If you’re looking for someone to guide you with both wisdom and kindness, look no further. Sensory Mother is a true light in the world of support and advocacy, and I am so grateful for everything she shares.

Laura is extremely knowledgeable and is a brilliant teacher. Her approach is simple& straightforward yet extremely effective. She has lived experience with her own son which is so important and makes you feel understood.

I find the videos very helpful. Lots of useful strategies. Great to know that there is help and support out there.

So helpful. I was able to implement these strategies straight away with early success.

Really helpful! Easy to implement strategies and the quick quizzes helped me to remember what I had learned.

Has made a real difference for our family. It doesn’t take long but Laura has been such a help

I loved doing the '5 Days to Change' programme with Laura! I knew it would be brilliant as I'd already attended one of her courses at my son's school, and the whole experience was so validating. Just hearing from someone who understands goes such a long way, but the practical tools helped so much too. Laura is super down to earth and honest, she doesn't preach because she's been in our shoes, and I just loved that. I'd recommend it to anyone, especially those with younger/newly diagnosed neurodivergent kids.

Really helpful and useful information. Easy to follow and implement. Can see methods are having impact and did not take long to see a difference 👍 ⭐

I can’t recommend the sensory mother enough. She’s amazing and her courses have taught me so much and iv done them all so I highly recommend enrolling onto the courses you won’t regret it! You will learn so much. Thank you for teaching me so much! Honestly a life saver!

I did the 5 Days to Change course and I really loved how easy it was to work through. I liked how it was just a little bit each day, but that I could go back and look at all the previous days whenever I wanted. I've revisited it loads of times to remind myself. It really has made a difference - especially Day Two! That's been so helpful in changing the way I approach my daughter's meltdowns. Thank you A*!!
