Frequently Asked Questions

What is the SOFT™ Sensory Wellbeing Programme?

The SOFT™ Sensory Wellbeing Programme is a six-week, email-based facilitation programme using the SOFT™ method — a sensory-informed framework developed by Annette Friar. It combines aromatherapy, sensory inclusion strategies, and personalised planning to support your wellbeing at a pace that works for you.

Who is the programme for?

We offer two programme pathways: one for adults seeking support for their own sensory wellbeing, and one for parents and carers supporting a neurodivergent child or family member. Both are delivered entirely by email.

Is this a clinical service?

No. The SOFT™ Sensory Wellbeing Programme is a non-clinical sensory wellbeing facilitation service. It does not constitute medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. If you have medical concerns, please consult your GP or relevant healthcare professional.

Is this suitable for neurodivergent individuals?

Yes — it is designed specifically with neurodivergent nervous systems in mind. Annette brings both professional qualifications and lived experience as an autistic and ADHD person to every programme. The email format is intentionally chosen to be low-pressure and sensory-friendly.

What is included in the programme?

Each programme includes a detailed intake assessment, six weeks of structured email-based facilitation using the SOFT™ method, weekly check-ins, a progressively built Sensory Wellbeing Plan, and aromatherapy and sensory product recommendations embedded at the right stage of your journey.

What happens after I book?

Once your booking is confirmed, you will receive an intake assessment link by email within one business day. Your programme begins within 3–5 business days of your completed intake. Each week you will receive a facilitation email and a check-in form to complete at your own pace.

Can I reschedule or cancel?

Please contact us as soon as possible if your circumstances change. As this is a personalised email-based programme, cancellation terms will depend on how far into the programme you are. Please refer to our terms or get in touch for more information.

What if I have allergies or sensitivities?

Please share any known allergies, skin sensitivities, or medical conditions in your intake assessment. All aromatherapy recommendations are reviewed for safety and tailored to your sensory profile.

Is my personal information kept confidential?

Yes. All personal information shared during your programme — including health history and sensory profile — is treated with complete respect and kept strictly confidential.

How the SOFT Framework™ Supports Co-occurring Conditions

Many neurodivergent individuals live with more than one condition — and each combination brings its own unique sensory, emotional, and physiological profile. The Burnt Orchid Organics SOFT Framework™ can help you navigate these complexities, guiding you to aromatherapy blends that are safe, effective and unique to the specific needs of the different nervous systems.
