The Heart of SensOTRy

About Us

SensOTRy is a specialized education and wellness service grounded in Occupational Therapy (OT) that supports adults experiencing changes in sensation following injury, illness, or other conditions.
 
These changes – such as numbness, discomfort, hypersensitivity, or decreased coordination – can affect how we move, function, and engage in daily life.
 
Yet, many sensory-related resources exist nowadays that are designed for children or framed within mental health, leaving many adults confused about the concept of sensory health, its breadth of impact on their everyday functions, and the interventions available.
We want to change this phenonmemon and raise awareness about sensory re-education for adults. We are dedicated to helping individuals understand their sensory systems and find ways to restore their sensations and functions so they can live comfortably and confidently.

Do you know the very first thing we lose after our body sensation changed is the Light Touch? Our ability to touch something light and soft, like dandelion & cotton. 

Get To Know Deeanna Hui, OTR/L

Hello there,
I am Deeanna.

My Story

As cliché as it sounds, being an occupational therapist and specializing in a niche has been my dream since I was 17.  So starting SensOTRy and reaching others outside a clinic and hospital has been the most exciting journey for me since becoming an OT.
 
I specialize in hand therapy and neurorehabilitation and have been practicing in both outpatient and inpatient settings, seeing people at different stages of their recovery. So it is very common for me to witness the effects on people’s functioning when there are disconnections between the brain and the body after an injury, surgery, or illness. And my curiosity and inspirations about reconnecting them have never stopped with each case I’ve seen. 

A Sensory Nerd

Sensory health has always stood out to me because it is so easy to overlook. In hospitals and clinics, more urgent concerns often take priority, yet I’ve seen how changes in sensation can continue to affect daily life long after other parts of recovery have improved.

I also noticed a gap: many sensory resources focus on children, while adults experiencing changes after injury, illness, disability, or long-unrecognized sensory needs are often left searching for answers.

Those experiences, my patients’ stories, and my own curiosity turned me into a bit of a sensory nerd—and ultimately inspired SensOTRy. My goal is to make sensory health easier to understand, more practical to address, and much harder to overlook.

My Approach

My approach to SensOTRy is rooted in occupational therapy and a whole-person view of sensory health. I look at how sensation connects with movement, pain, daily activities, body awareness, and the nervous system. As a yoga instructor, I also draw from movement, breathing, mindfulness, and other body-based perspectives to better understand the brain-body connection, including traditional concepts such as the meridian system, to broaden the way I think about the body and the sensory experience.

Education is always where I begin. I want people to understand what they are feeling, what may be contributing to it, and what they can realistically do next. Through gradual retraining, guided practice, and practical strategies, SensOTRy helps make sensory health easier to understand and apply to everyday life 

Because no two people experience sensory changes in exactly the same way, I also believe individualized support has value. My goal is to help people feel more informed, more confident, and better equipped to manage sensory challenges in daily life.

When your GPS keeps “recalculating,” you pull over and reset it. Sensory re-education is that reset—teaching your system to recognize the right signals and guide you back on track. 

That’s it, our programs are built upon the foundation of these theories, combining with current evidence and modern techniques to promote sensory health and wellness in individuals.
