Ancient teaching meets modern coaching to support minds that think differently.
Our Story
I was identified as an extremely anxious child, my parents told that it was likely I was autistic when I was 8 and later possibly dyslexic when I fell behind at school. There was no mention of ADHD in the 1980’s and the other ‘names’ associated with my nuances still held stigma so were not explored. My only official diagnosis from childhood to adulthood was of generalised anxiety which I managed with yoga, meditation and nutrition. When my son showed similar difficulties I knew I had to change the narrative. His learning challenges were assessed and supported, four years later we were both diagnosed with ADHD when Magnus was 13 and I was 43! He has learnt how to take advantage of his amazingly creative brain with a hands-on approach to study and work.
Our journey inspired me to extend my nutrition training with Advanced Life Coaching, specialising in ADHD.
Her story
My own experience of anxiety is unique, just as every mind is, so when my daughter experienced her own mental health challenges after moving to secondary school I was careful not to presume. Being highly capable academically, a gifted musician and actor allowed her, like many girls, to mask her challenges and the signs that she, like us, was neurodivergent. Isobel was diagnosed Autistic (Level 1) in 2024 when she was 14. I have learned more in the last year by experiencing the world through her eyes than I have from my huge library of books about neurodiversity. She has inspired recent training in nervous system healing and Autism in girls so that I can offer support as part of my practise.
Our family's story is the reason for stepping into this specialised coaching field. My lived experience and continued training (shared below) gives what I hope to be the best support for you and your family.
