What Is a High Sensory Coach?
A High Sensory Coach is someone born with High Sensory Intelligence, also known as Sensory Processing Sensitivity, a genetic personality trait found in 20–30% of the human population and across over 100 animal species.
It’s not a disorder. It’s a different operating system.
And when trained and embodied, it becomes a superpower.
As High Sensory Coaches, we’re wired to create deep transformation, often faster and more intuitively than traditional coaches or therapists. Why? Because we feel everything.
We are empaths, intuitives, and sensitives who absorb the emotional, energetic, and sensory data in our environment on a scale most people can’t comprehend.
I personally sit at the high end of this spectrum. I feel people’s emotions, pain, joy, nervous system state, and unspoken beliefs. I sense energy shifts in a room before anyone else. I pick up on subtle cues, patterns, and truths long before they’re expressed in words.
At times, this trait can feel like a curse; especially when misunderstood. Growing up, I was labelled “too sensitive,” “too much,” “overly emotional,” or even “awkward.” In truth, I was just responding to a world that was too fast, too loud, too disconnected, for someone as attuned as me.
The truth?
🧠 Our brains are like supercomputers.
🧘♀️ Our nervous systems process 100 cups of data where most process three.
🌱 We need quiet, nature, beauty, and space to thrive.
High Sensory individuals often show up as:
Deeply empathetic and intuitive
Overwhelmed by sensory input (lights, noise, crowds)
Prone to people-pleasing or perfectionism
Creatively brilliant in solitude
Emotionally affected by injustice, cruelty, or disconnection
Many of us suffer in silence, from chronic fatigue, depression, anxiety, or burnout, simply because we were never taught how to work with our system instead of against it.
Why Coaching?
When we’re trained and supported, High Sensory individuals become natural facilitators of transformation. We can sense the root of someone’s emotional pain, the unspoken beliefs that are holding them back, or the trauma loops that keep them stuck.
We don’t push people into growth, we tune their system back into coherence.
That’s what I do. I work with high-sensory, soul-led humans who are ready to stop abandoning themselves and finally return to the truth of who they really are.
My Journey
I trained as a High Sensory Coach with Willow McIntosh, the founder of High Sensory Intelligence™; a pioneering global program designed specifically for those of us with this trait.
That training helped me make sense of my life. It validated my gifts. And it gave me the tools to help others reclaim theirs.
Now, I support those navigating:
Trauma, burnout, or emotional intensity
Feeling misunderstood, too much, or out of place
The deep call to live with more purpose, peace, and power
This work is sacred. It’s also urgently needed.
Because sensitives were never meant to shrink.
We were born to lead. To feel. To heal.
And we do it differently.
