“Heather’s low sensory space service is something I wish every event had. When I was feeling overwhelmed & overstimulated at a busy event, being able to retreat to the soft, quiet low sensory space was a sigh of relief. It made me feel seen & cared for, and allowed me to stay longer as well as have a more positive experience at the event.

Later, when I was helping to put on the Clean Air Festival, Heather provided a low sensory space which turned out to be a hit among both kids & adults. Several attendees even said the low sensory space was their favourite part of the event! I saw people’s eyes light up as they played with the colourful fidget/stim toys and explored the lovingly curated books. People were also so appreciative of the dedicated space for lying down and resting with cute weighted stuffed animals. Being able to meet people’s sensory & access needs in this way was a true joy.

I would recommend this low sensory space service to any event organizer who wants attendees to feel cared for. Heather’s lived expertise & thoughtfulness shines through in every detail of the space, and will no doubt delight your attendees.”
