Holiday Calm for Neurodivergent Families

A gentle course in Three acts

The Neuro Circus Holiday Playbook 101 blends trauma-informed coaching with sensory-aware strategies to make holidays safer, co-regulated, and delight-filled for your family.

You’re Not Alone This Season

We see the overwhelm

Holidays can trigger sensory overload, social pressure, and grief. Many neurodivergent parents float between worry and obligation—this course validates that exhaustion and offers gentle ways forward.

Three Acts: Reflect, Intentions, Support

A gentle blueprint for this holiday season across three acts

Reflect

Act One

Go into Christmases past to acknowledge what you love about the season, and what is no longer serving you. Then create your Ideal Christmas Vision.

Intentions

Act Two

Honor your families values, choose events wisely, learn to say no or swap out activities, create your ultimate list resource, to help redesign your holiday.

Support

Act Three

Your one stop shop for accommodations and strategies for every member of your household this holiday season.
