Empowering bodies and minds from infancy to adulthood with sensational support.

Hi, I'm Sarah.

I’m an occupational therapist specializing in comprehensive, trauma-informed care that supports children, adults, and caregivers through life’s key transitions and challenges. Blending an expertise in sensory processing, pelvic health, and motor development with a compassionate, individualized approach.

Services include:

Pediatric Pelvic Floor Therapy: Helping children overcome challenges with bowel and bladder health, through non-invasive play-based therapeutic techniques.
Adult Pelvic Health: Empowering adults with tools to manage and improve pelvic health for a stronger, more comfortable daily life.
Infants: Providing nurturing guidance for early motor and sensory development, feeding difficulties in infancy, and building confidence and connection through ‘Baby Explorers’ group.

“I’m just a lady holding a model pelvis, telling you it’s all gonna be alright…”

I see you, tired of the endless accidents, the bathroom battles, and the well-meaning but useless advice from everyone who doesn’t get it. You’ve tried sticker charts, reminders, and every “just wait, they’ll get it” comment is making you want to scream.

Here’s the truth: If your child could go, they would go. It’s not about willpower—it’s about their body, their nervous system, and the right support to help them succeed.

I help caregivers of kids who struggle with poop problems figure out what’s really going on and finally make progress. No more guessing, no more frustration—just real solutions that actually work.

Does your kid only poop in a pull-up? 💩

👯‍♀️You’re not alone!

☝️ This is one of the issues I am asked most about.

1️⃣The first thing I tell clients and Super Pooper participants is to shift their *mindset*. 🧠

It’s not behavior ➡️ it’s a developmental skill. 🪜

It’s not a choice ➡️it’s a safety mechanism. 🫂

It’s not your fault ➡️ it’s a complicated issue. 🌪️

There’s not one magic trick to make it go away ➡️ it’s a process that takes time to develop. 🎞️

What do you think? How’s your mindset about toileting?

The problems I hear about most often hear are:
💩 children with holding poop
💩 💩 chronic constipation
💩 💧 poop leaking
🚫💩refusal to use the toilet
💩 🩲only pooping in a pull-up or diaper
💧 pee accidents long

The first three things I usually share with caregivers are:

😎 be cool - It’s OK to back off and relax about this issue while you figure out the underlying issues. Cool caregiver = more relaxed kiddo.

🧠 Change your thinking. Often times caregivers and some professionals think that pee and poo accidents and holding are behavioral. This is often not the case! Often they’re underlying sensory or motor issues going on but need to be addressed.

💩 learn all the signs and symptoms of constipation. Constipation is the leading cause of bowel and bladder dysfunction and children. Constipation can be sneaky, and even if your kiddo is pooping, every day, they could still be constipated!

What do you think about these three things? Are these things that you already know? Are you things that are new to you? Let me know. In the comments.

Toileting is a skill we need for our whole lives and it’s something that adapts and changes as we age and grow. We need to start having open and ongoing conversations about bowel and bladder health - which is a life long discusssion not just a milestone we accomplish and forget about. @sensoryexplorers @weavewellness_hburg #ParentingTips

Hi, I’m Sarah @sensoryexplorers! I’m an occupational therapist in Virginia with a private practice focused on pelvic floor function, sensory wellness, and infant development. Here’s a bit about what I offer:

🗓️ Virtual Support Groups: Over the past year, I’ve hosted Super Poopers—a 6-week virtual group for caregivers of children who struggle with pooping. This includes weekly online meetings and helpful resources.

🐣 In-Person Baby Groups: I run Baby Explorers, an in-person group for caregivers and their babies (pre-walking or newly walking) focused on development, connection, and fun.

📚 Children’s Books: In 2024, I wrote, illustrated, and self-published my first book, I Am Learning to Poop in the Toilet. This book, part of the I Am Learning series, is for children who need extra support transitioning to pooping on the toilet. My second book, I Am Learning to Listen to My Body, is now available and helps kids understand and respond to their body’s cues!

🎙️ Webinars & Talks: I offer engaging presentations and workshops for professionals, schools, parent groups, and organizations. Topics include potty training, sensory processing, and infant development.

💡 Now I want to hear from YOU! What would you like to see from me next—books, courses, webinars, or groups? Share your thoughts or questions below! ⬇️

Let’s make 2025 a year full of growth, learning, and connection! 🧡

Want a calmer, more focused home? 🏡✨ The secret might be in your fidget stash!

Fidgets aren’t just toys—they’re powerful tools for reducing stress, improving focus, and creating a more peaceful space for everyone in your family.

Fidgets can:

Promotes Focus and Attention: Fidgets help channel excess energy, making it easier to concentrate during tasks like homework or work.

Reduces Stress and Anxiety: Engaging in repetitive motions like squeezing a stress ball or spinning a fidget can calm the nervous system and regulate emotions.

Encourages Self-Regulation: Fidgets provide an outlet for managing sensory input, helping everyone stay calm and grounded.

Supports Mindful Breaks: Fidgets encourage taking sensory breaks, fostering mindfulness and relieving stress throughout the day.

Encourages Family Connection: Sharing and exploring fidgets as a family opens up conversations about sensory preferences and wellness.

Provides Sensory Input Variety: A range of fidgets (e.g., tactile, auditory, visual) ensures everyone can find tools that meet their sensory needs.

Supports Neurodivergent Needs: Fidgets are invaluable for family members with ADHD, autism, or sensory processing challenges, helping them navigate sensory experiences more comfortably.

Increases Body Awareness: Fidgets help individuals tune into their sensory needs, whether they need to move, stretch, or focus on specific sensations.

Minimizes Disruptive Habits: Instead of chewing on pencils or tapping feet, fidgets provide healthier, more productive alternatives.

Easily Portable Wellness Tools: Fidgets can be grabbed for on-the-go sensory support in stressful or overstimulating environments.

Save this post as a reminder and share it with someone who could use a little more calm in their life! 💡 Don’t forget to like and follow for more tips on sensory wellness!#occupationaltherapy #sensoryexplorers #parentingsupport #parent #neurodivergent #parentingtips

✨ The first three months of your baby’s life are full of wonder and rapid growth! Here’s what to watch for:

🌱 Month 1: Your baby is adjusting to the world outside the womb—expect lots of snuggles and focus on tummy time to build neck strength.

🌿 Month 2: Smiles start to appear! This is the time when babies begin to coo and track objects with their eyes.

🌳 Month 3: They’re getting stronger every day! Look for head control, grabbing at toys, and even some giggles.

💡 Pro tip: Keep it simple and slow. Singing, gentle massages, and face-to-face time are some of the best ways to support your baby’s development.

Are you stuck on the Miralax-Constipation Merry-Go-Round? 🎠🚨 ⚠️ This is not medical advice. Always consult your healthcare provider for your child’s needs.

If your child has encopresis or functional constipation, it can feel like you’re going in circles:
➡️ Constipation leads to stool withholding.
➡️ Withholding causes pain and accidents.
➡️ Miralax softens stool temporarily.
➡️ But without addressing the root cause, the cycle starts all over again.
➡️rectum May never have a chance to fully recover
Just like a merry-go-round, it’s exhausting, repetitive, and feels impossible to stop.

But here’s the key: breaking this cycle isn’t just about softening the stool—it’s about getting off the ride entirely. That means:
🌟 Teaching your child to recognize and respond to their body’s cues.
🌟 Supporting healthy bowel habits and getting data about your child’s anatomy to direct treatment
🌟 Addressing sensory or behavioral patterns contributing to withholding.

You don’t have to navigate this alone. There are evidence-based strategies and support systems designed to help you and your child step off this frustrating ride—for good.

What’s been the most challenging part of this cycle for your family? Share below! 💬

It’s simple, but not always easy. As an occupational therapist, I’ve learned that listening to your body is the first step toward growth. It’s not always easy, but it’s essential to living a balanced and healthy life.

10 Ways to Listen to Your Body:
• Pause and reflect: Take a moment to check in with yourself—how does your body feel right now?
• Tune into sensations: Notice physical feelings like tightness, warmth, or relaxation in different parts of your body.
• Follow your breath: Pay attention to your breathing patterns—slow, deep breaths can help calm your mind and body.
• Honor hunger and fullness: Eat when you’re hungry and stop when you feel satisfied—your body knows when it’s had enough.
• Notice stress signals: If you feel your heart racing or your muscles tense, it may be time to take a break or relax.
• Pay attention to pain: Pain is your body’s way of signaling that something needs attention. Don’t ignore it.
• Stay hydrated: Listen to your body’s thirst signals and drink enough water throughout the day.
• Practice movement: Whether it’s stretching, walking, or a workout, movement helps keep your body balanced and strong.
• Rest when needed: When you feel tired, rest. Listen to your body’s need for sleep or a quick break.
• Trust your gut: Intuition often shows up physically—pay attention to how your body responds to decisions or situations.
• Go to the bathroom when needed: Don’t ignore the signals your body gives you when it’s time for a bathroom break—listening to this need is essential for comfort and health.

Want to help your child start listening to their body? My new book, I Am Learning: To Listen to My Body, is a great resource to get started! Grab your copy today on Amazon and begin the journey to better self-awareness.

They’re not pooping their pants to piss you off. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Poop accidents can be incredibly frustrating for both kids and parents, but here’s the truth: they aren’t a behavior issue. 🚨 More often than not, there’s an underlying physical reason that’s affecting your child. Whether it’s constipation 💩, sensory processing challenges 🧠, or pelvic floor issues 🫣, understanding the root cause is the key to finding real solutions.

It’s time to stop seeing these accidents as simple misbehavior and start addressing the physical factors that may be at play. 💡 In my practice, I work with families to uncover these causes and help guide them through the healing process, so their child can feel confident and comfortable again. 🏆

If you’re struggling with poop accidents or know someone who is, let’s change the conversation. 👇 Follow me for more insights on addressing the underlying causes of toileting challenges and practical steps to make a difference. 🌟

🚨 Toileting Problems Are NOT Behavioral 🚨

When a child struggles with toileting, it’s easy to label it as defiance or laziness. But here’s the truth: toileting challenges are rarely about behavior. Instead, they’re often the tip of the iceberg—the part we see above the surface.

What’s under the iceberg? 🧊
✅ Sensory sensitivities: Loud flushing noises, bright lights, or the feel of the toilet seat can be overwhelming.
✅ Physical discomfort: Constipation, weak core muscles, or coordination difficulties can make toileting feel uncomfortable or even painful.
✅ Fear or anxiety: Past experiences (like potty-training pressure) can lead to fear around the bathroom.
✅ Skill gaps: Knowing how to use the toilet properly (from wiping to positioning) is a learned skill that takes time.

By looking under the iceberg, we can understand what’s really going on and provide kids with the support they need—whether that’s sensory tools, body positioning help, or a gentler approach to building confidence.

What we don’t want to do?
❌ Shame or punish kids for accidents.
❌ Assume they’re being stubborn or “difficult.”

What we can do:
💡 Get curious. What might be triggering the issue?
💡 Address sensory or physical needs first.
💡 Offer patience, understanding, and the right tools to help them succeed.

Every child deserves to feel safe and supported in their toileting journey. Let’s approach this with compassion and creativity!

👉 Understand their bodies better
👉 Build confidence with toileting routines
