Deliver performances that make people comfortable across their eight senses.

Most people are surprised to learn that there are more than five senses. There are (at least) eight senses: sight, hearing, taste, touch, smell, movement, balance and interoception (internal body sense).

Offering sensory-friendly performances makes your patients comfortable across all the senses, it increases your accessibility and helps you include more people.

Be accessible and inclusive by being sensory-friendly.

Be good for people.

Be good for your business or organization.

Be sensory-friendly.

Sensory overload is overwhelming, but the solutions can be simple.

This is the mantra that drives solutions created by our Founder and CEO, Christel Seeberger.

Working in health care for over 25 years, Christel Seeberger saw how sensory sensitivity and sensory overload caused people to feel overwhelmed and anxious. People of all ages simply stopped living life when they could not find sensory-friendly experiences.

With adult-onset hearing loss, Christel understands these problems personally; she also experiences sensory sensitivity and sensory overload.
