Hi, my name is Sara

and I am the one behind

Overstimulated Mom.

I have my doctorate in occupational therapy

and I am a mom to two wonderful young children.

I knew about sensory overload from a professional standpoint, but to be honest I had never really experienced it first hand until becoming a mom. I really started to struggle with overstimulation once I had two kids, especially a newborn and a toddler.

I felt like I could explode at any moment and I was so incredibly touched-out.

I felt like I yelled constantly and I really struggled to make time for myself.

I love my children dearly, but I was really struggling with overstimulation, anger, exhaustion, and feeling overwhelmed. I really struggled to figure out how to regulate my emotions.

These last two years I have been working hard at finding coping strategies and ways to regulate my emotions so I can show up for my kids in a calm and regulated way.

I want to help you become a more calm and emotionally regulated mom so you can show up for your kids the way you want to and really enjoy motherhood.

I believe moms have a really hard job and when they can learn emotional regulation skills to stay calm and regulated throughout the day they can better help their children and themselves.
