Why You Feel Overwhelmed (Even When You’re Doing Everything Right)
You may not realise it, but your sensory system could be driving:
- Constant stress or low-level overwhelm you can’t explain
- Difficulty focusing, even when you’re trying your best
- Energy crashes after meetings, screens, or social interactions
- Feeling irritable, distracted, or mentally foggy
- Burnout that seems to “creep up” despite good self-care
- Strained communication at work or at home
- Productivity struggles in hybrid or fast-paced environments
- Feeling misunderstood, especially if you are neurodivergent
Most people blame themselves.
Few realise their sensory identity™ may be the missing piece.

How is the Sensory Matrix™ different?
- The Sensory Matrix™ is a science-backed online assessment that measures your unique sensory processing style — revealing how you are neurologically wired to respond to the world around you
- Unlike traditional personality or productivity tools, it examines attention, emotion, and behaviour from a bottom-up, nervous-system perspective — identifying how sensory thresholds shape your stress, focus, energy, and interactions
- You receive a comprehensive, customised report that includes:
- Detailed sensory threshold results across all seven senses
- Clear explanations of how your brain unconsciously responds to sensory input
- Practical, easy-to-implement strategies tailored to your profile
- Insights that translate directly into stress management tools, workplace performance, wellbeing, and relationships
- Developed by Dr Annemarie Lombard, PhD (Occupational Therapy, Health Sciences), the Sensory Matrix™ is grounded in more than 30 years of clinical practice, research, and professional training

We’ve helped thousands of people and organisations be healthier, happier and more productive
Dear Annemarie. My colleague at USB-ED introduced me to your book, Sensory Intelligence®. I read it tonight. I wanted to personally thank you for releasing this book. 5 years ago, I discovered that I am sensory sensitive. Since then I have not been able to gather proper information regarding the subject for better understanding. And then I started reading your book… It is the best book with the most valuable information I have ever come across as a human being. Throughout my life, I have been classified as over-sensitive and people have often taunted me for reacting differently to sensory stimuli. And all it was, is what you classify as “sensitive/defensive”. Thank you for your book’s accuracy. Not only did it help me understand myself even better, but also to understand other people and their levels of sensory tolerance/intolerance.
