The Xploriment began at the intersection of motherhood, movement, and meaning.

As an occupational therapist, I’ve spent years supporting children and adults through moments of growth, recovery, and transition. As a mother to a highly energetic, curious daughter, I’ve experienced firsthand how play isn’t extra — it’s essential. Play is how children regulate, learn, and connect. It’s also how adults stay engaged, adaptable, and resilient as we age.

What started as a sensory-rich space for children grew into a deeper understanding: the same principles that support development in childhood also support independence, dignity, and brain health later in life. Movement, creativity, exploration, and connection matter at every age.

The Xploriment exists to make those tools accessible — through play-based experiences, supportive environments, and community-centered resources. Some offerings are donation-based, allowing families and individuals to participate in a way that works for them while supporting the mission as a whole.

Whether you’re a parent, a caregiver, or simply someone who believes in learning through experience, you’re welcome here.
