🌟 We’ve launched a new page — 🌟

I’m really proud to share something important with you.

I’ve created Sensory Justice, a new space dedicated to making healthcare calmer, kinder and truly accessible for people with sensory needs. Many people feel overwhelmed in hospitals and clinics — bright lights, noise, rushed communication and stressful environments can make essential care frightening or even harmful.

Sensory Justice is our campaign to change this.
We’re working to make sensory‑friendly practice compulsory in healthcare, so everyone can receive care that feels safe, calm and supportive.

On the new page, you’ll find:
🌱 gentle sensory‑friendly ideas
🌱 lived experiences
🌱 practical changes healthcare providers can make
🌱 updates on the campaign
🌱 ways you can get involved

If you believe healthcare should feel calmer and more inclusive, please follow and support the movement.

Together, we can make healthcare better for everyone.

Read the first blog specifically linked to Sensory Justice – the campaign that says, "If it's not sensory-safe, then it's not healthcare."

Join our movement...it's early days, but we intend to ensure our sensory needs are met in our healthcare system as the norm.

I’ve been reflecting a lot lately on how my brain works and why I show up in the world the way I do. As an undiagnosed AuDHD adult, I’ve become increasingly aware of my sensory needs, my differences, and the way my motivation system functions.

For me, dopamine doesn’t behave in the “typical” way. My baseline is low, and my internal reward system is unusually high. That means I don’t get sustained motivation from pleasure or novelty—I stay engaged when there is a cause, a purpose, or something that genuinely matters. My drive comes from necessity, not from reward.

This has shaped everything I do.

Alongside my aromatherapy work, I’ve created Sensory Justice because I need to put my energy into something that has real impact. Sensory justice exists to make sure neurodivergent sensory needs are recognised, respected, and embedded into every healthcare decision. Our sensory differences aren’t quirks — they are legitimate health considerations that deserve protection, accommodation, and understanding.

This isn’t just a project for me. It’s the way I keep going. It’s the work that aligns with how my brain operates and the change I want to see in the world.

Sensory Justice: If it isn’t sensory‑inclusive, it isn’t healthcare.

Eye‑Opening Sleep Statistics That Show Why Rest Isn’t Optional
The headline: We’re sleeping less than ever, and it’s costing us more than we realise.

😴 How we’re actually sleeping
1 in 3 adults don’t get the recommended 7–9 hours of sleep.

40% of people report waking up at least once per night due to stress, noise, or discomfort.

50–70 million adults live with a sleep disorder—many undiagnosed.

Women are 40% more likely to experience insomnia than men.

Shift workers lose an average of 1–4 hours of sleep per night compared to non‑shift workers.

🧠 The impact on our bodies and minds
Sleep deprivation reduces cognitive performance by up to 30%, affecting memory, focus, and decision‑making.

Just one night of poor sleep increases cortisol (stress hormone) levels by up to 37%.

Chronic sleep loss is linked to higher risks of anxiety, depression, and burnout.

Immune function drops by 15–30% after several nights of reduced sleep.

💼 The cost to daily life
Sleep‑related fatigue contributes to 20% of workplace errors.

Drowsy driving causes more than 100,000 accidents each year.

Poor sleep is estimated to cost the UK economy £40+ billion annually in lost productivity.

🌿 Why this matters for wellbeing
Rest isn’t a luxury—it’s a biological requirement. When sleep suffers, everything suffers: mood, resilience, sensory processing, emotional regulation, and overall wellbeing. For neurodivergent individuals, disrupted sleep can amplify overwhelm, sensory sensitivity, and executive‑function challenges.

Many of us avoid healthcare because the sensory overwhelm can be harder than the appointment itself. Bright lights, unexpected touch, noise, smells, rushed communication — it all adds up.

You’re allowed to tell your healthcare team what you need.

Sharing your sensory profile can make consultations, examinations and procedures safer, calmer and more predictable. Things like:

preferred communication style

touch sensitivity

lighting/noise triggers

pacing needs

waiting room overwhelm

what helps you regulate

I’ve created a free PDF sensory profile you can fill in and hand to your GP, nurse, specialist or dentist. It helps you advocate for your needs without having to explain everything verbally in the moment.

If it supports even one person to feel less overwhelmed, it’s worth sharing.
