🧠 Coaching & Lived Experience Training
Real support from someone who's lived it, not just studied it.
I don't offer one-size-fits-all coaching. What I offer is lived-experience support, grounded in two decades of masking, burnout, creative obsession, and finally…clarity.
Whether you're neurodivergent and trying to figure out who you are beneath the pressure, or you're part of a team trying to build real inclusion and understanding, I bring practical tools and honest perspective to the table.

Why Work With Me?
I’ve lived it. I’ve masked through it. I’ve broken down, rebuilt, and written my way out of survival mode.
This isn’t coaching by the book. This is support that meets you where you are, without pressure to “fix” yourself. Whether you're an individual seeking clarity or a team building understanding, I bring lived insight, humour, tools that work, and zero pretence.
