“I realized we needed tools that honoured both our children’s needs and our own emotional survival. That’s when everything changed.”
Now, Resilient Essence exists to pass that calm forward.
Resilient Essence began as a whisper in the chaos, a mother’s voice trying to stay calm in the middle of meltdowns, diagnoses, therapy appointments, and the uncertainty of each day.
It didn’t start as a business.
It started as survival.
Through tears, trial, and persistence, we learned what actually works—not just for our children, but for us as parents. From those lived lessons came visual tools, calm scripts, boundary strategies, and emotional safety techniques, not from a textbook, but from real life.
“You don’t see what we’ve been through, but you can feel what we’ve built.”
From Personal to Professional
Sherene’s background in primary teaching, ABA, psychology, and special education, combined with her lived experience as a parent, has created a unique perspective that bridges theory and reality.
Today, she collaborates with families, schools, and professionals across Ireland, sharing tools that have been tested in real kitchens, classrooms, and moments of crisis.
