Meet Nini & Sebino
I am an Instructional Systems Designer and educator having designed courses for DoD contracts, public school, district level training, and professional training developments. When I became a parent of my own neurodivergent child, I was disappointed in the lack of education in many fields I expected to have specialized training. Worse, I was shocked to see how difficult it is for families to access good services.
Sebino has not only been the inspiration for Infinite Hollow and GoatSense, but as he grows and learns, he teaches me, as well. His interactions with the animals were obvious that more children needed to have the same opportunity and many of his interactions were far more effective than anything being taught in therapy centers. As an educator, these interactions were aligned with what we know from various learning theories.

Our Story
As a single mother, I walked through the fire of post-separation challenges, an uninformed family court system, and a labyrinth of therapists and pediatricians who often misunderstood the unique interplay of autism and trauma. Determined to secure a brighter future for my son—one free from the confines of a group home or worse—I refused to accept the status quo. Too many professionals relied on outdated methods, overlooked evidence-based practices, and missed the nuanced needs of my neurodivergent child. I was shocked to discover how few therapists were trained in autism-specific approaches or connected to educational best practices. Left with no choice, I took matters into my own hands, fueled by fierce love, my roots in equestrian sports, and an academic foundation forged in resilience.
From this struggle, Infinite Hollow was born—a therapeutic farm and a groundbreaking curriculum, GoatSense, designed to empower families navigating the complex worlds of neurodivergence, trauma recovery, and misunderstood diagnoses. While working full-time and homeschooling, I crafted a hands-on, brain-based approach rooted in modern learning theory and real-world experience. This isn’t just a curriculum; it’s a lifeline for parents, educators, and healthcare providers seeking practical, compassionate tools to help children thrive.
Today, Infinite Hollow stands as a sanctuary of healing and growth, where children connect with animals, discover their strengths, and build resilience alongside goats and horses. It’s a beacon for families, showing that with the right resources, advocacy, and community, you can become the strongest voice for your child. Our GoatSense curriculum equips you with evidence-based strategies to support neurodivergent and trauma-affected learners, while our farm offers transformative animal-assisted therapy to spark joy and connection.
