We Saw a World That Wasn’t Built for Everyone — So We Decided to Change It.

Our Story

Sensory Friendly Solutions exists because everyone deserves a calmer, more welcoming experience — and we’re here to make that happen.

Sensory Friendly Solutions started with a simple but urgent truth:
Most of the world isn’t designed for people with sensory sensitivities.

Our founder, Christel Seeberger, lives with hearing loss and spent decades working in health care and accessibility. She saw firsthand how everyday spaces — from offices to airports to events — often left people behind. Not intentionally. But consistently.

She believed something better was possible. And she built Sensory Friendly Solutions to help make it real, through certification, education, and global leadership in sensory-friendly design.

Today, we are a growing movement of businesses, professionals, creators, and changemakers committed to creating calmer, more inclusive experiences — one certified leader, one certified space, one recognized product at a time.

Our Mission

“Sensory Friendly Solutions offers globally accessible certifications that help businesses and professionals create inclusive, calming, sensory-friendly experiences starting right here at home, in Canada.”

Who We’re Here For

Sensory sensitivity is more common than most people realize.
It’s not only autism. It’s not only anxiety. It’s not only neurodivergence.

It’s the 1 in 3 people living with conditions like:

ADHD, Alzheimer’s Disease, Anxiety Disorders, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), AuDHD (Autism + ADHD), Chronic Pain, Concussion, Dementia, Developmental Disabilities, Epilepsy, Fibromyalgia, Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), Intellectual Disabilities, Learning Disabilities (like dyslexia, dyscalculia), Lewy Body Dementia, Long COVID, Low Vision, Meniere’s Disease, Mental Health Conditions, Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS), Menopause, Migraines, Neurodivergence, Nonverbal Learning Disability (NVLD), PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder), Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD), Synesthesia, Tinnitus, Tourette Syndrome, Psychological Trauma, Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), Vestibular Disorders, Vision and Hearing Disorders — and more.

Every calmer event.
Every sensory-friendly store.
Every inclusive product.

It matters to them. To 1 in 3 of us, every single day.

My Sensory Friendly Journey

Over 30 years in healthcare opened my senses to the often silent and hidden struggle of sensory sensitivities and overload. I saw it in toddlers, teenagers, adults – even my oldest client at 106! Working across homes, clinics, hospitals, nursing homes, schools, summer camps and everything in between, I witnessed how everyday life became a challenge when the world wasn’t sensory-friendly.

It became personal too. Adult-onset hearing loss opened my own eyes (or should I say ears) to the limitations a non-sensory-friendly environment creates. Even with the best hearing aid technology and assistive devices, there are places I won’t go and things I won’t do because I cannot participate when I get there.

That’s why I founded Sensory Friendly Solutions in 2016. My mission? To make the world more accessible and inclusive, one training session at a time. We help businesses and organizations create sensory-friendly experiences for everyone – customers, clients, and teams alike.

Imagine a world where everyone feels like they belong because there are sensory-friendly options. Join me on this mission!
