Get to know Sam…
At my core, I’ve always wanted to help people.
Now, I’m focused on helping fellow neurodivergent mothers navigate life with more ease and intention.
In 2021 I became a mother… and while there were definitely joys in that time, it also brought the hardest year of my life. As my baby daughter grew bigger (and slept less) over the first few months of her life, I struggled more and more each day. As each new milestone - starting solids, crawling, walking- came I felt myself drowning in dysfunction and it left me feeling utterly inept as a mother.
What I didn’t realise then, was each of those new milestones brought more executive functioning requirements… and I was undiagnosed ADHD.
After my ADHD realisation around November 2021, I dove deep into the rabbit hole of understanding my brain. Learning as much as I could from research, neuroscience courses, podcasts, books, others’ sharing their lived experience, and any other way I could get my hands on information. Finally my whole life made sense. Why I had jumped from career to career. Why I had made what seemed like impulsive decisions and moves (one even landing me in another country, half way around the world from where I grew up).
It all made sense!
While I strongly suspected I was autistic before having my daughter, the research I was doing around ADHD also helped me understand the nuance of my autism even more.
Nearly three years (and after a very validating diagnosis) on from that life-changing realisation and I’ve been sharing my story and trying to help others on a similar journey.
Bringing it all together…
I’ve harnessed all of my previous life experience and learning to assist others who feel like they could live better.
Life is harder for us as neurodivergent mothers, but it doesn’t have to feel impossible.
Looking at a fully holistic approach to life and wellness- highlighting areas like self, movement, connection, sensory, nourishment- I want to help mothers bring more ease and wellness into their life.
I’m not a guru, I don’t have it all figured out, and I struggle a lot of the time. I’ll be the first to admit that. But I have learned a thing or two and I want to share that with people with the aim of you being able to avoid the struggle I learned from.
I will offer evidence-based, science back solutions without the “woo”. You can count on guidance that is straight forward and easy to apply to your life.
