Finally Wellness Education That Understands Supporting You Is Just As Important As Supporting Your Child
Through science-based and nervous system informed guidance, we are helping sensitive families thrive - together.
For parents of sensitive children who want to understand the “why” behind their child’s behavior and how to best support them.
Real change comes from understanding the biology, nervous system, and the 'why' behind behaviors— for both you and your child. We blend holistic nutrition, sensitive informed sleep consulting, psychology, and early childhood expertise to support the wellbeing of your whole family.

What is a Sensitive Family?
A family where one or more members are highly sensitive (also known as “sensory processing sensitivity”). These individuals are empathetic, intuitive, emotionally aware, creative, thoughtful, observant and have a strong sense of morality. However, because they process external and internal stimuli more deeply, they can quickly become easily overstimulated and overwhelmed. As this is a temperament trait, both children and adults can be highly sensitive. It is also hereditary, meaning that if a child is highly sensitive there is a good chance one of both of their parents are as well.
A highly sensitive child:
Is easily upset by loud noises, bright lights or strong smells
Transitions (like bedtime, mealtime or getting ready for school) take longer than reasonably expected
Can quickly pick up on other people’s moods
Feeling rushed or changes in their routine can trigger anxiety or meltdowns
Can notice details others miss
Is imaginative and highly creative
Has strong preferences when it comes to texture, food or clothing
May struggle with eating due to aversions, texture, smells and temperature
May struggle with sleep, leading to a hard time falling and staying asleep as well – often not responding to traditional behavioral sleep training methods
Why Parents of Sensitive Children Benefit from Specialized Support
Parents of sensitive children will often feel everything alongside of the child, if they are sensitive themselves- even more so. As rewarding as it is to raise sensitive children, it can leave parents feeling exhausted and overwhelmed themselves. This often results from being advised to use strategies that do not honor sensitive nervous systems or the experience of the parent.
With specialized support geared toward highly sensitive children, the parent can understand their child’s nervous system and its role in behavior as well as learn tools that help make sustainable change.
What is sustainable change?
Sustainable change means making changes that are easy to support in the long term without force or constant effort. If changes require the parent to work outside of their parenting philosophy, go against their instincts or require a rigid inflexible set of rules it is very often not sustainable in the long term. The goal is to be able to keep the response approach the same on hard days as well as easier days, without a constant escalation of stress for the parent or the child. When parents are provided with solutions that fit their family, it becomes woven into their daily life and a part of who they are. At Quiet Moments Wellness, our approach is designed to provide parents with support that works with the sensitive child and that they can continue to benfit.
