“Hi Moms, I promised to share this link today so here it is:  I suffer from PTSD and severe anxiety and I’ve been searching for alternative ways to help me when I’m “under  attack”, so I decided to give this avenue a try, as my meds alone were not helping me. This blanket was custom-made for me and I’d just like to say that when I’m underneath it, it feels like I’m wrapped safe in a cocoon.

This client wanted a weighted blanket for her son. The occupational therapist suggested that she use a weighted blanket to help her son with sleep issues – he used to wake up several times a night. When first introduced to his weighted blanket, was a little unsure, but every night his Mom checked that the weighted blanket was covering his body. After the first night, she reported significant improvement in sleep pattern – he had uninterrupted sleep and even slept later the next morning, Now after several months after using the weighted blanket every night, he is experiencing far better sleep and awakes rested.

Adult lap pad

We made a lap pad for a friend’s mom who suffers from restless leg syndrome. She uses it while sitting and reading, and when in bed.  She says: “I love it! It makes me calmer and has eased some of the restlessness”.

Adult shoulder wrap

Initially my shoulder wrap felt a bit weird – heavy and uncomfortable – but I am tactile defensive, so it is possible that my muscles were reacting to the ‘different feeling’ in my shoulders. Now, after having work it on and off, half-an-hour at time, my body has adjusted to the weight and I feel more grounded and centred. I used to feel as though my upper body was ‘floating’ as if disconnected from the rest of my body, but this sensation is completely gone. Even better still: my shoulders and neck are not as stiff and sore as previously, because the shoulder wrap stops me from hunching my shoulders. I’ve also used the shoulder wrap as a lap pad which also works wonderfully well. Thank you for the love and detail that went into creating my wrap, it’s truly made an enormous difference.”
