We strive to serve those with a need to chew & pride ourselves on helping you find the right chew for your needs.
We want to spread the word that SPD does not mean alienation, that difference is not an oddity – it makes us unique. We recognize that this is not always easy, it is a bumpy road having a disability. Our goal is to support that journey, smash through glass ceilings, get out in the open those things that are unspoken. We aim to spread the word that different is positive.
Jenny & Stuart started the journey way back in 2010 in Scotland when Chewigem found them. Having originally launched as a baby product, it became apparent that the need for quality products in the sensory world was much in demand. Chewigem now has years of experience in designing, adapting and creating a range of chewing, fidget and sensory aids for children and adults. The Chewigem brand operates under parent company Gemious.
Carla & Linda started operating Chewigem Canada in 2015 after Carla was searching for high quality chewelry. We had lots of chats with Jenny who was looking to expand into Canada at the time, and she chose us!!
Yes, we sell products, but we aim to have Chewigem synonymous with more than just our exceptional sensory products. With our ever-expanding group of private members we are connecting like-minded individuals for peer support and an ever expanding sense of community. By bringing together experts related to the Chewigem mission, we provide top quality content and support for your sensory needs beyond that of chewing.
