Our Purpose

Why We Exist

Our Mission

To create a place where therapy, family-centred support, and sensory play belong together where every space is informed by therapy, mindful of sensory differences, and created to honour how each child experiences, engages with, and makes sense of their world.

Our Vision

To create the kind of sensory-informed space we wish had existed when we were children a place that embraces both our similarities and differences, where children and families feel welcome just as they are.

Portrait of Katherine 'Kay' Samiano, Registered Occupational Therapist

Katherine โ€œKayโ€ Samiano

Registered Occupational Therapist

20+ Years of Experience

Kay is a registered Occupational Therapist with the Alberta College of Occupational Therapists (ACOT). First licensed in the Philippines in 2003 and in Alberta in 2008; she brings extensive international and Canadian experience supporting children and families across school, clinical, and community settings.

Her journey is both professional and deeply personal. As someone who experienced the world differently growing up, and now as a mom of a child with sensory needs, Kay understands firsthand how overwhelming it can feel when support systems don't make sense.

YWH was born from a deep personal passion and a lifelong commitment to create the space she wished had existed for every child, every family, no exceptions.

I wanted to build a place where no family ever feels like they have to justify their child's needs, a place where you are truly welcomed, exactly as you are.

โ€” Kay Samiano, OT
