I coach Mamas raising neurodiverse kids (Autism, ADHD, Down Syndrome, etc.) who are often overwhelmed and  exhausted by their day-to-day responsibilities. 

Who Cares for the Caregiver? 

Most of us spend our days racing from one appointment to the next - visits with doctors and specialists, therapy sessions, and after school activities so our kids get that extra boost. 

By the time they doze off to sleep at night, we’re exhausted.  And there is zero time for self care; in fact, most of us have forgotten what it even feels like to relax. 

But here’s the raw truth - 

Constant exhaustion leads to burn out. And we cannot care for our kids or ourselves stuck within this continuous cycle.  As parent caregivers, we must come off autopilot and into present moment awareness - understanding how to best support ourselves and our families. 

I came to mindfulness several years ago, but connect most deeply to Mindful Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and most recently, TSD Mindfulness which helps us reduce stress, move through grief, navigate crisis, and heal from trauma. Teachings and practices are rooted in resilience, acceptance, self-compassion, and being present.

l support Mamas of neurodiverse kids in one-to-one sessions by unpacking their unique stress type, and what mindful tools are helpful with coping despite the challenges. 

During our sessions, we focus on -

• Identifying your unique stress type, and how this determines the ways you experience stress in your mind and body. 

• Exploring which mindfulness tools are most supportive for you. 

• Mapping out an accessible plan to help you maintain a consistent  mindfulness practice. This includes identifying your well-being anchors (those wellness practices which help you feel most supported and grounded throughout the day).
