you can’t grow a garden you’ve stopped tending.
Raising a neurodivergent child is its own kind of slow, patient growing. You read the soil, adjust for the weather, anticipate what each day will ask, and somewhere along the way, you stopped leaving anything in the ground for yourself.
That's where I come in. My wellness coaching is for you, the one doing all the tending. As a BCBA, I understand the roots of what your days look like, and as a health and wellness coach, I help you nourish your energy, your health, and your sense of self, because you're not just the gardener here. You're meant to grow too.
A year from now, you could still be running on depleted soil, reacting to whatever comes up… or you could be standing in something rooted and steady, feeling stronger in your body and calmer in your days, with support that sees the whole of who you are. You don't have to choose between helping your child bloom and tending to yourself. And you don't have to do it alone.

MOM health and wellness coaching
This coaching practice was built for one specific woman: the mom who has given everything to her neurodivergent child, and somewhere in the process, lost sight of herself and her own well-being.You are fiercely devoted. You have become a self-taught expert in IEPs, therapies, sensory needs, and advocacy. You have reorganized your entire life around your child's needs, and you would do it again. But the cost has been steep. You are exhausted. Your sense of self has quietly narrowed. Your own health, goals, and quality of life have been put on hold.
This coaching program creates a dedicated space for you to define what you want your well-being and life to look like, and to take meaningful steps toward it.
what makes this different?
There is no shortage of resources for parents of neurodivergent children. What is rare is a health and wellness coaching space dedicated to the parent as an individual.
You are the client. Your child is part of your story, not the subject of our sessions.
The work is client-led. Your coach brings evidence-based wellness strategies and a supportive relationship; you bring your expertise on your own life, needs, and goals.
The unique emotional landscape of parenting a neurodivergent child (the advocacy fatigue, the grief, the isolation, the complicated pride) is understood and respected here without needing extensive explanation
This is a forward-focused space. Sessions are oriented toward where you want to go and the steps to get there.
how this works
three tiers of commitment
Real wellness change takes time, but not every client is starting from the same place, carrying the same capacity, or pursuing the same depth of work. That is why this practice offers three-tiered engagement options, each structured around distinct goals and realistic timelines.
Every tier is built on the same NBHWC-aligned, client-centered framework. The difference is scope, depth, and duration. You choose the tier that matches where you are right now, knowing you can always continue or expand your commitment.
how to choose your tier
Ask yourself: What feels manageable right now, emotionally, financially, and logistically? A shorter commitment is not a lesser one. The 3-month tier produces real, meaningful change. The 6- and 9-month tiers go deeper and wider. Start where you are.
TIER 1: SEED
3-month
commitment
Plant the conditions for change, and watch something take root. Bi-weekly 1:1 sessions, 6 sessions total.
Phases:
Tend (Month 1): Activate the coaching relationship and create the conditions for change. Surface your core wellness values, identify the area of your life you most want to shift, and take your first deliberate action steps toward a self-determined goal.
Bud (Months 2–3): Build early momentum. Pursue your goals with structured accountability, establish at least one sustainable habit, and leave with a clear personal roadmap for carrying your progress forward independently.
Anticipated Outcomes:
❖ A clearly defined personal wellness vision and self-determined goals, so you can stop drifting and start making choices that are actually yours.
❖ At least one new, sustainable habit or self-management practice taking root, so you can stop white-knuckling through each day and start building a life that supports you.
❖ Increased self-awareness of your strengths, values, and what tends to hold you back, so you can stop repeating the same cycles and start moving with intention.
❖ A sustainability roadmap to carry forward after coaching ends, so you can stop being in survival mode and start trusting your ability to keep going.
❖ A meaningful first experience of consistently showing up for yourself, so you can stop feeling like you’re at the bottom of your own list of needs and start feeling like a whole person again
tier 2: bloom
6-month
commitment
Open up across multiple areas of your well-being… and let the change show. Bi-weekly 1:1 sessions, 12 sessions total, plus 1 mid-program check-in session.
Phases:
Tend (Months 1–2): Activate the coaching relationship and build a full wellness vision across multiple life areas. Surface your values, strengths, and what meaningful change looks like on your own terms. Define goals and begin early action.
Blossom (Months 3–4): Open up. Take consistent action across your goals, build new habits, and navigate setbacks with your coach's support. Develop a growing set of self-management strategies that fit your actual life, not an ideal version of it.
Bloom (Months 5–6): Let the work show. Consolidate your progress, address remaining obstacles, and build a personalized sustainability plan designed to hold long after coaching ends.
Anticipated Outcomes:
❖ Meaningful, measurable progress across wellness, lifestyle, and personal goals, so you can stop measuring your worth by your sacrifice and start seeing yourself as your own best investment.
❖ A personalized toolkit of self-management strategies rooted in your real life, so you can stop searching for solutions that don’t fit and start using tools that actually work for you.
❖ Stronger confidence and a growing sense of agency over your own well-being, so you can stop feeling like life is happening to you and start making it happen for you.
❖ Habits and practices anchored in your values, so you can stop succumbing to guilt or perfectionism and start building a rhythm that feels sustainable.
❖ A clear, durable sustainability plan and the skills to continue independently, so you can stop waiting for a crisis to motivate change and make consistent steps to lead yourself forward.
tier 3: flourish
9-month
commitment
Thrive… not just in good seasons, but in all of them.
Bi-weekly 1:1 sessions, 18 sessions, plus monthly check-in phone calls (up to 20 minutes) and 1 deep-dive session mid-program.
Phases:
Tend (Months 1–2): Activate the coaching relationship and build a thorough, whole-life wellness vision. Surface your values, patterns, and goals across every dimension of your well-being. Co-create a personalized roadmap for the full 9 months.
Blossom (Months 3–5): Extended action phase. Pursue goals consistently, build lasting habits, and, crucially, practice your strategies across different seasons and circumstances, not just ideal conditions. This is where real resilience is built.
Bloom (Month 6): A dedicated mid-program deep-dive: reassess your goals, celebrate how far you have come, and recalibrate your vision for the final stretch. Space to breathe, reflect, and redirect with intention.
Flourish (Months 7–9): Expand into lasting change. Address deeper patterns that have surfaced over time. Build a comprehensive, long-term wellness plan. Prepare for full independence: not just with a roadmap, but with the rooted confidence to walk it on your own.
Anticipated Outcomes:
❖ Deep, lasting lifestyle change across multiple dimensions of well-being, so you can stop rebuilding from scratch every time life gets hard and start living from a foundation that holds you.
❖ Resilience: strategies and habits that hold up in hard seasons, not just good ones, so you can stop bracing yourself for the next crisis and start trusting yourself to move through it.
❖ A comprehensive, long-term personal wellness plan built by and for you, so you can stop outsourcing your own care and start owning what it truly means to take care of yourself.
❖ A fundamentally shifted relationship with your own needs, values, and capacity, so you can stop shrinking yourself to fit everyone else’s needs and start taking up the space you deserve.
❖ Leaving coaching as someone who knows (and trusts) how to continue this work independently, so you can stop surviving on autopilot and start feeling like a whole person again.
