IN THE RIGHT ENVIRONMENT, WE ALL THRIVE

  • My experience with Sense-ational Spaces was absolutely wonderful! Alexi and Marlee were professional, knowledgeable, and having their expertise is exactly what my family needed. They worked within my budget and transformed a space specifically tailored to my daughters needs. My daughter now LOVES to play and explore and we couldn’t be happier! Thank you SO much Alexi and Marlee!!

  • If I could give them 100 stars, I would. Words cannot express how great of a company this is! From the very beginning of the process, it was a really, really great experience. I would highly recommend this company to ANYONE with a kiddo with special needs and with sensory issues... They are so pleasurable to work with, extremely professional & knowledgeable in their fields (both therapists), fantastic communicators and highly creative when it comes to the space. I will tell anyone I know with a special needs kiddo to call them! It will be the best decision you will make!

  • Marlee and Alexi are THE BEES KNEES when it comes to planning, designing, creating, and crafting your Sensational Space!!! They pay attention to every single detail and provide the best service and delivery. I will be sending them to everyone I know who needs a sensory space in their home. My son - with ASD - is in love with this space, and its now somewhere that we ALL want to hang out as a family. If I could give 100 stars, I would - but for now its a 5+ star rating from me :). THANK YOU, SENSE-ational Spaces!!!

  • SENSE-ational Spaces gave a fabulous presentation to our early childhood parents in our parent education classes. Marlee and Alexi are doing amazing work!

  • Our family has experienced such joy working with Alexi and Marlee!!! We felt we needed a space for our daughter Isla to have a place dedicated for her that she could retreat to when feeling overwhelmed, anxious, and needing her time without question. Working with SENSE-ational Spaces went above the expectations of this goal. Through a simple interview, communication of needs, and experiences our daughter received a space that was made for her personal needs. Isla's energy has changed and her increase of confidence shows!! She has a space that allows her to feel independent and proud! her increase of confidence shows!!
