Hi and welcome.

I’m Christina- neurodivergent occupational therapist, mom of three, and founder of Starry Eyed OT and Sensory TheraPLAY Box.

I understand sensory processing differences through both my work and lived experience. I know how challenging it can be to navigate a world not built with sensitivity in mind- especially when you notice details, patterns, and energies others might miss.

Over the years, I’ve worked with children on the autism spectrum, those with developmental differences, and highly sensitive nervous systems, as well as older adults through home health care.

In 2016, I launched Sensory TheraPLAY Box, a monthly subscription box bringing therapeutic, sensory-informed play into homes.

As my work deepened, so did the questions I heard from parents- not just about how to help their child regulate, but about behavior and how unseen influences might affect a sensitive nervous system.

Those questions inspired Starry Eyed OT- a space to explore the bigger picture:

• Subtle environmental and energetic influences
• Nervous system regulation
• How perception shapes behavior and experience
• The deeper meaning behind sensitivity and intuitive knowing

I believe behavior is communication- both in what we can see and in the subtle ways we respond to the world. Whether you’re a parent, practitioner, or someone who experiences reality a little differently, you’ll find resources here to help you understand, validate, and support that difference.

You might be here for the fun sensory play through our subscription boxes, or the deeper dives into perception, energy, and sensitivity....

Either way, I’m so glad you're here. 💫
