Every sense plays a role in helping us feel connected, capable, and confident in our daily lives.
When sensation changes—whether due to injury, illness, or sensory processing challenges—everyday activities can feel harder than they should and less enjoyable than they could be.
If this sounds familiar, you’re in the right place:
Things don’t feel the same as before the injury or surgery
Touch feels painful, numb, or confusing
Movements become uncomfortable or clumsy
You feel disconnected from your body
Everyday environments feel overwhelming or exhausting
Most people are never told this:
These sensory changes are real – and they can be improved.
That’s where Sensory Re-education comes in.
It is a structured approach rooted in occupational therapy that helps your brain and body interpret sensations more accurately.
When your sensory system and brain get “out of sync” due to injury, illness, or general disorganization, they constantly communicate with the wrong signals.
This process helps retrain those signals – so you can move, feel, and function with confidence and comfort again.
Think of it like resetting your internal GPS so your body can navigate correctly again.
Hi, I’m Deeanna, a registered occupational therapist (OTR).
SensOTRy was shaped by the patients I’ve worked with over the years.
Many experienced sensory changes from injury, illness, or other conditions—but were never told these challenges could be understood or improved. I often heard, “I wish I had known this sooner.”
That stayed with me.
I realized there was a need for a space that offers clear, reliable guidance—something accessible beyond traditional therapy settings.
That’s why I created SensOTRy.
A place where you can learn how your sensory system works, explore practical strategies, and build confidence in navigating daily life—at your own pace.
