Awareness is the first step. Our "symptoms" flare when we are in a state of unrest. Environments, co-existing conditions, sleep, nutrition, lack of exercise, and many other reasons can trigger these. Our support is guided by finding where the unrest lies, unpacking it, and then co-creating strategic solutions for each client's unique characteristics and situations. I use a variety of tools for reflection, discovery of strengths/challenges, meditation, and even exercise. One of the most important tools we bring is having a trained ADHD lens to look through when supporting one with ADHD.
Along with my own life experiences, & years of coaching & teaching, I have a Master's in Special Education & am a graduate of an extensive ADHD Coaching/Specialist program. It's amazing to see the positive ripple effect around clients when they gain awareness & tools with their ADHD. "Progress over perfection” is a powerful reminder of what’s truly important
Every client's uniqueness is our guiding light. I didn’t need to "suck it up" throughout my life struggles. I needed a partner who could help navigate the complexities &​ provide positive support tailored to my unique needs. This is how we support.
