We're building a world where every mind belongs
A sensory-friendly gym, a community hub, and a place where stimming is celebrated — not silenced. Based in Nogales, Arizona, serving families across Santa Cruz County and beyond.
Our Story
Born from a simple belief
The Stimming Co. was founded on the belief that every individual — regardless of ability, diagnosis, or background — deserves a space where they can move, play, and connect freely.
As parents, family members, and friends of individuals with autism, ADHD, and sensory processing differences, we saw a clear gap in our community: there were few truly inclusive, judgment-free spaces where families could simply be together. Spaces where stimming wasn't shushed. Where the music was the right volume. Where every body was welcome.
So we built one. The Stimming Co. is the result of community listening, dreaming, and showing up. It's a 501(c)(3) nonprofit powered by volunteers, donors, and a deep love for every member of our community.

What We Believe
Our core values
These principles guide every decision we make — from how we design our space to how we welcome a new family.
Inclusion First
Every person, every ability, every background. We design our space and programs to welcome all.
Stimming is Welcome
Movement, sound, and self-expression aren't problems to solve — they're part of being human.
Family Centered
When one family member is supported, the whole family thrives. We serve the whole family unit.
Community Driven
Built by the community, for the community. We listen first, then create.
Our Community
Built by community
The Stimming Co. is powered by a passionate team of staff, volunteers, board members, and community partners — all working together to make our vision a reality.
