Soft Sensory Reset for Adults

Soft Sensory Reset is a peaceful, neurodivergent-friendly space designed for adults who need a moment to breathe, regulate, and gently unwind. Step into dim lighting, soft background sounds, and calming corners created to soothe the senses rather than overwhelm them.

Move through low-pressure stations featuring fidget trays, slow repetitive textures, dough for grounding motions, gentle tactile materials, and mindful aromatherapy elements. Explore quietly at your own pace - or simply settle into a cosy corner to relax.

There’s no expectation to participate in any particular way. This is a judgement-free environment built for comfort, calm, and connection with your own sensory needs.

Come as you are, take what you need, and give yourself permission to slow down.
