Maren Lindsay Therapy

Maren Lindsay Therapy Offering nervous system supports for neurodivergent families through connection, art, nature & play-based programs. NOW OFFERING:
Certified in 1.

As well as SSP & iLs Focus (listening programs) Safe & Sound Protocol and 2. iLs Focus Program

1. Safe & Sound Protocol (SSP), developed by Dr. Stephen Porges, is an auditory intervention designed to help reduce stress and auditory sensitivity. Based on the Polyvagal Theory, by calming the physiological and emotional states, the door is opened for improved communication and social engagement. Thi

s non-invasive intervention involves listening to music that has been processed to retune the nervous system specifically to introduce a sense of safety and the ability to socially engage. This allows clients to better interpret not only human speech, but more importantly, the emotional meaning of language. Once interpersonal interactions improve, spontaneous social behaviours, and an enhanced ability to learn, self-regulate and engage are often seen. SSP can be delivered in person or remotely. Please send me a message for further details on this program.


2. iLs Focus Programs are available through in-home sessions or during school. iLs Focus Program can benefit people of all ages - including, but not limited to ADHD, Autism, Auditory Processing, Learning Abilities, Sensory Processing, Reading, and Speech Problems. "iLs is based on the fact that we can change our brain – we can essentially re-wire it through specific and repeated stimulation, a concept known as neuroplasticity. As in building strength and endurance with physical exercise, we are able to build neurological pathways and synaptic activity at any age." "iLs trains for brain/body integration through a staged approach, starting with the fundamentals of sensory integration and then extending through more complex cognitive functions, including language, self-expression and social skills." http://integratedlistening.com/the-science-of-how-ils-works/

*** Other supports for families include play-based programs, sensory integration, homeschooling and respite. I have been in the field for over 15 years and am passionate about supporting families holistically as possible. With my clients, we have worked on developing educational, social and life skills. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions and/or pricing. [email protected]

Some great check ins and reminders if you’re feeling anxious

Comment FREE RESET if you want the link to this free poster and I’ll send it to you.

Sometimes anxiety shows up and kids don’t know what to do with it.

They just feel it… and then everything else gets harder.

That’s why I like having something like this posted.

It gives them a quiet way to reset.

Not a big lesson.
Not a whole conversation.

Just simple reminders like:
focus on what you can control
take a few slow breaths
be a little kinder to yourself

It helps take that big feeling and make it feel a little more manageable.

I’ve found that when kids have something they can look at and use, they’re more likely to actually try it.

If you want a free, simple way to support students when anxiety shows up, this is an easy one to add to your space.

🎬💙 CalmDad Sensory-Friendly Movie Night 💙🎬

We are excited to announce that CalmDad, in partnership with C&J Company, is working on creating a special sensory-friendly movie experience for autistic families at Cineplex Abbotsford.

For many autistic children, going to the movies can feel overwhelming because of loud sounds, crowds, bright lights, and the pressure to sit still. Our goal is to create a safe, welcoming, and judgment-free environment where children can simply be themselves.

✨ Entire theater reserved for families
✨ Sensory-friendly environment
✨ Space to move around and regulate
✨ Siblings welcome
✨ Designed to help families feel comfortable and included
✨ Free admission for families to attend

This event is about more than just a movie night. It’s about helping autistic children and their families feel safe getting out into the community, building acceptance, and creating positive experiences without fear of judgment.

We are hoping this can become something even bigger in the future, possibly inspiring sensory-friendly movie events across Canada. 🍿💙

If your family would be interested in attending, please contact us to register:
