Calm Travel Starts Here.
Strategic, Sensory-Aware Travel Planning.
Designed for Neurodivergent Families Who Deserve to Actually Rest.
I specialize in strategy-first travel planning for overwhelmed moms navigating sensory needs, rigid routines, and burnout.
No chaos. No survival mode.
Just thoughtful, structured vacations that work for your family.
Travel Shouldn’t Cost You Your Nervous System.
You love your family.
You want the memories.
But vacations feel like:
• Sensory overload
• Meltdowns by day two
• Exhaustion instead of rest
• Endless logistics and second-guessing
• Spending thousands only to feel regret
When you or your child is neurodivergent, travel isn’t just about booking a resort.
It requires strategy.
Travel should not feel like crisis management.
It should feel like connection.
If you are carrying the mental load, managing sensory needs, or recovering from burnout, you do not need more ideas.
You need a plan that protects your energy.
~You are not bad at vacations.
~You are carrying too much.
• You research for weeks and still feel unsure
• You manage sensory overload in real time
• You anticipate every possible meltdown
• You come home more exhausted than when you left

From Overwhelmed to Confident
“Planning our first Disney trip with our AuDHD son felt high stakes. We wanted the magic, but we also needed a strategy.
Heather helped us proactively plan for sensory needs, identify calming spaces, and anticipate challenges before they happened. Her structured guidance through the DAS interview process helped us clearly articulate our son’s needs and feel fully prepared.
Our son received a DAS pass, and we entered the parks with clarity and confidence.
What could have been overwhelming became peaceful, joyful, and truly magical for our entire family.”
~ Sami, mom of 3 teens
Investment & Planning Structure
When you book Disney, cruises, or resort destinations, the travel supplier pays a standard commission. That commission is already built into the public price, whether you use an advisor or not.
Calm Travel Design services are separate.
They reflect the custom itinerary design, sensory-aware pacing, advocacy strategy, and thoughtful preparation that make your trip feel different.
You are not simply reserving a vacation.
You are investing in clarity, energy protection, and strategic planning designed around your family.
