My story
I have an official (late) diagnoses of ADHD, a very strong inkling I am also Autistic, and a history of hormonal and mental health struggles - especially anxiety. It is extremely common for ADHD and ASD to co-exist with other health conditions and this is why I am so passionate about what I do - because I know firsthand how hard it can be to juggle these challenges.
Before I understood my brain and my body, I would go round in circles questioning and researching what could possibly be going on. This is why I turned to learning more about natural health. I was desperate to try and get to the root cause of some of my own symptoms, but also learn a new skill to eventually help others with also.
I studied with the College of Naturopathic Medicine and qualified as a Health Coach in 2022.
Through becoming a health coach, I learnt all about the body and how to manage and improve both my physical and mental health using nutrition, movement, and lifestyle. I know that when I am looking after myself, many of my ND challenges, my hormonal health, and my mental health drastically improves.
After qualifying, and later getting my ADHD diagnoses, I took a deep dive into learning more about neurodiversity - probably my biggest interest.
With my ever expanding knowledge, plus my lived experience, I continue to learn strategies to combat some of the difficulties that come with living with an ND brain, and I now get to incorporate this into my health coaching practice and bring it all together. I can help you understand your brain, and I can also help you with your overall health and wellbeing - in a way that suits you and your specific needs.
I have a (very!) varied work background which includes several care and support roles, busy bars and cafes, and running my own green cleaning business. I still like to keep my work life a little varied and currently work in a lovely independent cafe/plant shop alongside running this coaching business. I am fascinated in the brain, neurodiversity, psychology, menstrual and hormonal health and mental health and am always searching for the next course to further my knowledge - I currently have my eyes on a 2 year ADHD coaching diploma so watch this space!
I live in a wonderfully neurodivergent household with my partner Rich, his son Sonny half the time, Kitty the cat, and Misty the dog. Away from work I love nature, cosy pubs and cafes, delicious food, nesting at home, charity shops, festivals, sunshine and dancing!
Who do I work with?
I specialise in helping ADHD, ASD and AuDHD women - especially those struggling with anxiety, depression, chronic stress, troublesome PMS, overwhelm and frequent burnout. Why? Because I am one myself!
It’s worth saying how common it is for ADHD and ASD to present together and many of the symptoms overlap. So don't worry if you are confused if you have one or the other or maybe even both - You do not need a diagnoses of anything to work with me. I am simply here to help you with your health and wellbeing which in turn will help improve some of your symptoms.
Maybe you resonate with some of the things I've written about, but maybe you don't - that's ok! We are all so different and we know that both ADHD and ASD can look very different from person to person.
PLEASE NOTE: I am not restricted to just helping ND women, I am open to helping any individuals struggling, even if it is a different health issue or those who simply want help with their general health and wellbeing. Please just get in touch and we can have a chat.
I strongly believe that we can improve most health issues by going back to basics and looking at our health and livelihoods through a holistic approach.
