Understanding Sensory Needs and the

Brain-Body Connection

In Your Own Time

Gain OT offers evidence-based occupational therapy services to help individuals and organisations better understand and support sensory processing, regulation, and the brain-body connection.

We offer asynchronous, occupational therapy services designed to help you understand how your brain and body work together — and what might be getting in the way.

Everything we do is delivered online and in your own time. That means no video calls, no sessions to book, and no need to repeat your story over and over. Just thoughtful, evidence-based support that fits your rhythm — not the other way around.

We explore:

  • Sensory processing and regulation

  • Nervous system patterns and trauma responses

  • Hormonal cycles, fatigue, burnout, and chronic conditions

  • Neurodivergent experiences and everyday function

  • The brain-body connection through a polyvagal and adaptive brain lens

  • Whether you're here for yourself, your child, or your team — our reports and resources are designed to bring insight, not overwhelm.

Who We Work With

We support people navigating life in a body that feels, senses, responds and sometimes struggles.

Whether that’s due to stress, sensory overload, chronic illness, trauma, neurodivergence, or simply feeling like you’re running on empty, we help make sense of how your brain and body work together (or fight against each other) in daily life.

You don’t need a diagnosis or referral to connect with us.

Adults managing chronic illness, fatigue, hormonal shifts, or nervous system burnout who need low-demand, body-informed insight and support

Women moving through life stages like PMS, PMDD, pregnancy, postpartum, perimenopause or menopause , where brain-body changes can affect everything from mood to movement.

Parents and carers who are navigating their own regulation needs or supporting children with emotional shutdowns, sensory overload, or stress responses

Neurodivergent individuals looking to understand how their nervous system, environment, and identity shape their daily functioning

Educators, early childhood teams, and support staff who want practical tools to support diverse learners, without extra emotional labour

Workplaces, HR teams, and disability organisations working to create safer, more inclusive environments that consider sensory, emotional, and biological needs

Because brain-body needs don’t just show up in therapy.

They show up in:

  • Parenting

  • Work and study

  • Relationships

  • Sport and community life

  • And in the quiet, in-between moments of everyday living

Whether you’re here to build understanding for yourself or for your team, our resources and one-off consultancy services are designed to help you build capacity, not complexity.
