What is coaching and why would you need it?

Coaching is not therapy.

A coaching relationship is much more like a mentor-mentee relationship. As we work together, I will help you explore and discover how your neurodivergence shows up in life and co-create with you - building strategies and teaching you tools that will be beneficial FOR YOU. Just as you’re a unique individual, the approach to assisting you will be just as unique.

Through coaching you can begin to better understand your brain and how your neurotype can be seen as a strength instead of a deficit.

I do not believe ADHD is a superpower, but I do believe by embracing how we’re wired and beginning to work with our brains, instead of against them, we can find more ease in life and get off the struggle bus.

As we gain better awareness of your challenges, we can also develop systems that harness your strengths.

A holistic approach…

Evidence-based, science-backed. While “holistic” is a term often coopted by the “woo” crowd, I mean it in the purest sense of the word - our parts are interconnected.

For example, perhaps your goal is to start your day with movement. While we will of course look at scaffolding and building supports around making that decision a reality; we will also look at a full picture and consider other areas that may impact this choice. If you’re staying up ‘til the wee hours of the night (perhaps due to a non-existent bedtime routine and poor sleep hygiene) it is going to feel, and really be, impossible to get up and start that movement routine. Buy, if we can develop a plan to support your evening routine better, suddenly the morning routine and movement goal becomes much easier.

Or another example- let’s say you’re like me and really struggle with emotional regulation. This may come out in your mothering and you spend half your time apologising and the other half beating yourself up for not “acting” how you really want. We know in those moments of dysregulation our “default mode” takes over. We can work together to find tools and strategies that you can practice when you’re regulated that will re-write that default programming and get you steps closer to being the more regulated mother you really want to be. But again, we’ll do this holistically and part of that may also be looking at your child’s regulation and ways we can increase or decrease sensory input for both of you.

Practical and realistic!

I’m a mom. I know the limited time and capacity that comes with that role. My commitment to you is to always strive for our solutions to be as practical and realistic as possible. Would a 20 relaxation and 5-step self care routine be great? Probably. Is that something that we can realistically include in our day every day? Probably not. So let’s work together to find small, doable things we can do that make a big difference.

A friend on the path…

First and foremost, let me validate that MOTHERHOOD IS HARD! With that sentiment, let me reassure you that I never “preach from on high”, instead I am in the mud and the muck with you. Like you, some days I struggle, and some days I’m nailing it, and that’s life as a mother.

I don’t have it all figured out… but I have spent years learning how to traverse this rocky road.

Whether it’s helping you understand your sensory needs and how to manage them, or untangling the paralysis that can come with overwhelm, or assisting you in creating a sustainable rhythm for your family - I’m ready to hold your hand through the process and share knowledge with you along the way.

My goal is to empower and educate you.

To help you understand that a late diagnosis or realisation isn’t the end of the world, but the beginning of a new one - and that’s a good thing.
