Our Mission

At The Calming Canvas, our mission is to create a safe, inclusive, and engaging sensory gym for all children ages 2-10 with special focus to children with autism and other sensory disabilities. Inspired by my son Christian Henderson, who was diagnosed with autism at age 6, I, Brittany Coleman, am dedicated to providing a space where kids can explore, play, and grow through sensory activities tailored to their unique needs. I strive to foster confidence, joy, and development in every child. My goal is to support both children and their families, offering a compassionate and empowering environment for growth and connection.
