Holistic Occupational Therapy for All Abilities
Supporting neurodiverse children, teens, and adults, as well as expecting mothers and families, specializing in emotional regulation, sensory processing, interoception, and overall well-being.
Navigating overwhelming feelings and emotions can be challenging at any stage of life. This struggle may begin to affect the quality of your daily life, making seemingly simple tasks feel daunting or even impossible to accomplish on your own.
At Eighth Sense Wellness, we support children, teens, adults, expecting mamas and families facing:
Emotional Dysregulation
Sensory Processing Challenges
Anxiety and Stress
Difficulty Connecting with Body Signals and Emotions
Our goal is to empower you with the tools and support needed to navigate these challenges and enhance your overall well-being.

Our Unique Approach
We have created a unique and innovative blend of care through both occupational therapy and yoga practices to promote greater connection, restoration, resilience, and regulation. Our holistic methods emphasize interoception, helping individuals better understand their body signals and emotional states while also focusing on nervous system regulation through sensory processing. We take a comprehensive view of each individual, considering both recognized and unrecognized facets of their being through a strength-based lens to tailor our support to their unique needs. By creating a safe and supportive environment, we empower individuals to feel confident in themselves, knowing they are valued and worthy. This foundational belief serves as the cornerstone for personal growth and future opportunities, empowering you to navigate daily life with confidence and turn challenges into avenues for development.
Who We Are
Empowering Wellness for All Abilities.
Eighth Sense Wellness is founded by Graziana Zito, OTR/L, RYT, who specializes in supporting neurodivergent individuals, including those with autism and ADHD, as well as expectant moms navigating identity shifts and mental health challenges during pregnancy.
Graziana is passionate about understanding the whole person rather than focusing on fixing perceived "missing pieces." Her holistic approach blends occupational therapy and yoga to create personalized experiences that promote emotional regulation, sensory awareness, and interoceptive understanding. She believes that everyone deserves to feel valued and worthy just as they are.
Her goal is to help you adapt to the world around you, rather than adapting you to the world, empowering you to connect with yourself and navigate life with confidence. Graziana strives to create a supportive environment where you can explore your strengths, embrace your unique journey, and reach your fullest potential without judgment or pressure.
