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 that when mom’s can learn to regulate their own emotions they can be the calm and confident mom they want to be for their kids and family.
I will help you learn to manage your emotions so you won’t always be angry, frustrated, overwhelmed, and tired.
I want to give you tools to help you manage the invisible load of motherhood.
You are a super mom and deserve to learn how to take care of yourself too.
This is why Overstimulated Mom was created. I will teach you how to:
- Manage and regulate your own emotions
- How to manage and cope with overstimulation
- How to stay calm in the heat of the moment and try not to tell at your kids or partner.
- Advocate for your needs and learn to care for yourself as a mom.
When you can learn to regulate your own emotions you will be able to demonstrate this skill for your children and they will be able to learn from you.
Imagine a life where you feel calm and confident in knowing how you can regulate your own emotions and help teach your children how to regulate their emotions too.
