What is coaching?
Coaching is guided, direct, here-and-now support that is specific to your goals with your neurodivergent brain. You may benefit from coaching if you want a direct and shame-free approach to support and skill-building. This is entirely customizable by you and your coach—it may look like body doubling to get work done, developing plans for workplace support, learning how to ask for what you need from your care team, or getting help with those pesky executive functioning skills.
What coaching isn’t:
Coaching isn’t therapy, it isn’t a way to get a diagnosis, and it isn’t crisis support (though we’ll make sure you’ve got those resources, too). Coaching isn’t appropriate for everyone. Though we recommend coaching in addition to therapy for deeper emotional work, we’re available to consult and make sure this service will support your needs regardless of your therapeutic experience.

ADHD coaching, peer-support style. We start by getting to know one another and how your ADHD impacts you. We provide psychoeducation about the parts of ADHD you may not have learned before.

Body Doubling: Completing tasks with another person. Body doubling offers completely shame-free support when you’re trying to complete a task—cleaning your room, making doctor appointments, sending emails… if it feels like you haven’t been able to do it on your own (even if you want to), then maybe you don’t have to.
Body doubling can be booked for 30-minute or 1 hour sessions.

This coaching utilizes a whole body frame of reference to help autistic individuals (wherever they are on their diagnostic journey) to better understand their sensory system, build skills to optimize self regulation, and optimize their body’s growth and recovery throughout the perinatal process. You don’t have to imagine navigating pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and the transition to parenthood as a neurodivergent individual without the sensory, socioemotional, and neurological insights afforded by a coach who has been there and gets it.

Not sure what a Microenterprise is?
No problem, let’s start there:
A Microenterprise is a small business with 5 or less employees. But really, it could only be one employee….you!
They start with limited capital/startup funds (we have a resource for this!) and usually serve a local market with their products or services.
Microenterprise Coaching looks at how to support your small business venture based on what you’re most interested in doing—on your own schedule, as your own boss.
Still confused as to what this could look like? Past microenterprises Michelle has helped start include t-shirt printing, jewelry making , local art, farm stands, lawn care, digital animation, and dog treats.
