ADHD Coaching is a relatively newly developing field of professionals who work in collaboration with people who have ADHD or ADHD-like symptoms. Together, the coach and client outline specific areas that need to be addressed and personalized goals.

This is a wonderfully written explanation from the CHADD website:

“Most current ADHD coaching programs acknowledge the biological underpinnings of the disorder in addressing the core symptoms of ADHD (inattention, hyperactivity and impulsivity); however, coaching addresses the academic, vocational, emotional and interpersonal life difficulties that are a result of these symptoms and helps clients find ways to overcome these challenges. Through individualized or group assistance and support, coaches help people concentrate on where they are now, where they want to be and how they can get there.

A coach helps people with ADHD carry out the practical activities of daily life in an organized, goal-oriented and timely fashion. In close partnership, an ADHD coach helps the client learn practical skills and initiate change in his or her daily life. A coach may help an adult with ADHD:

• maintain focus to achieve identified goals
• translate abstract goals into concrete actions
• build motivation and learn to find ways to use concrete and abstract rewards effectively”

*For info on qualifications and credentials, please see “What makes you different from other ADHD coaches?”

ADHD coaching is incredibly unique and can help you in many ways…

• Build self-compassion, care, and understanding to help you carve the path to a successful and fulfilling life
• Understand that your challenges are a result of societal expectations because your brain is wired differently and help you learn effective ways to work with your brain 
• Have a safe space to express yourself
• Identify healthy boundaries and how to implement them
• Balance the heavy load of adulting with ADHD and reduce the stress
• Connect with people who provide you with continuous support
• Learn how to advocate for yourself at home, with friends, colleagues and in the healthcare system
• Unlock the ability to achieve goals and minimize stress
• Learn how to organize, plan, and manage your time effectively
• Create checkpoints to support your emotional regulation 

Everyone’s coaching journey is unique and the ways in which coaching can help you will evolve as you move forward in the process!

Of course! A diagnosis is not required nor necessary. Achieving an ADHD diagnosis can be challenging and I don’t want that to be another obstacle for you. The work we do centers on executive function challenges associated with ADHD, and I’m guessing the reason you landed here is because you’re looking for something along those lines. Which means this is right up your alley!

Let’s be honest, nobody knows anything for sure before they can try it. But I do want you to know that everything we do, and everything that I create to help you, is done uniquely with you in mind. That goes for all of my clients, both private one on ones and group coaching clients. When a group coaching client asks me a specific question and I don’t have something that could help them, I go and create it - I go and do the research. And then I share it with you. I will do everything in my power to support you, and the rest is up to you. 

You achieve the greatest reward when you put in the work, move forward with your actionable steps, and ask questions when you get stuck.

Therapy works on helping people heal pain, dysfunction and conflict that is occurring with the self or in relationships. These challenges are often those that have occurred in the past and are continuing to affect the individual’s emotional functioning in the present. Therapy will work on this to help the individual deal with the present in emotionally healthy ways.

Coaching is future focused. We dive deep into where you are now, where you want to go and set goals to move you in the best direction. All goals are reached by outlining actionable steps and mini-goals between sessions. Emotions are an inevitable part of ADHD coaching and there is an entire section of the program dedicated to helping you garner emotional control using positive strategies. Coaching focuses on an overall connection of action, accountability, and follow through.

Coaching is not a substitute for therapy, however it can be a powerful complement.

Fantabulously ADHD Community & Group coaching:

We have one monthly coaching call AND one monthly workshop (usually live and sometimes pre-recorded). All calls have captions enabled, are recorded, and recordings are uploaded to your membership area with any resources that may have been discussed during the call. 

Private (one-to-one) coaching:

Calls are booked according the schedule discussed when you first begin. All calls are recorded and available to you at your request.

As long as social media is alive, we’re never truly done :)

Fantabulously ADHD clients maintain full access to the Fantabulously ADHD program materials AND access to the private community. 

As long as you follow the house rules you are invited to stay as long as you’d like.

Fantabulously ADHD:

This is a monthly membership and non-refundable. You may cancel at any time and maintain access until the end of your payment period.  

Private Coaching:

If something isn’t working, we have a conversation to address it immediately. From there, I offer a prorated refund (if applicable) and, where possible, a referral to a professional who may be better suited to your current needs.

The Fantabulously ADHD Group Coaching & Community is $120/month. This includes all the features that are listed here.

Private coaching starts at $1500 which includes one 90-minute strategy call and six 60-minute coaching calls. Calls take place weekly or biweekly. I do my best to schedule clients at a standing time so we both know what to expect and you don’t have to think about booking your next appointment. 

You have ADHD or ADHD-like symptoms and it’s affecting your relationships, career, bill payments, emotional health, and overall ability to move forward. You feel stuck and you’re ready to invest in yourself so you can break out of the chaos cycles and reach your goals. 

Group Coaching:

You’re looking for a community of women who will support and welcome you in spite of all your unique qualities. You’re also looking for accountability, support, and guidance as you unravel the inner workings of your ADHD and how you’ll create systems that make sense for you. And you’re ready to get started!

Private Coaching:

Your situation is highly unique and you do better in one-on-one settings. You’re looking to build a partnership with a coach who will be by your side as you create a healthy relationship with your ADHD without it feeling forced or overwhelming. You’re ready to create change and live a more fulfilling and successful life.

Fantabulously ADHD is great for those who are looking to expand their knowledge base of how ADHD shows up in their life, access targeted life coaching, and be part of a supportive community. The coaching calls are designed to be an empowering learning experience for all. We also encourage body doubling sessions, the community to hang out and connect, and of course, join in on our riveting monthly workshops!

Private coaching is uniquely outlined with the client. We meet weekly for 60 minutes on Zoom with the option for unlimited chat support between sessions. You essentially gain access to an ADHD life coach in your pocket! 

This is the beauty of a membership - it's ALWAYS open!

The connection you find with anyone is unique. I’m passionate about ADHD and helping women find healthy and beneficial ways to change how they see themselves so they can create meaningful and lasting changes. 

Like many ADHD coaches, I too have ADHD (combined type). My passion for helping people with ADHD began when I was failing courses in university and it felt like the entire system was actively working against me. 

I’m a wife and mother to two amazingly rambunctious girls (age 2 and 4), an animal lover, explorer, forever learner, and I can get lost in painting for hours!

I have lots of training and education that connects to ADHD:

• Bachelor of Education from McGill University
• Masters in Educational Counselling Psychology with a special project focused on neurodiversity (all-inclusive) from McGill University
• Certified Coach through OLEVI International
• ASSIST certified
• ICF member since 2021
• Credentialed ADHD Life Coach through IACT

I’ve worked in all levels of education (yup, daycare right up to university!), spoken at the ADHD symposium for medical professionals in Ottawa, been a guest speaker for the special care counselling program at Lasalle College in Montreal and provided workshops for ADHD women and parents at the Yamaska Literacy Council. I’ve created handbooks for teachers and professors, worked alongside ADHD expert psychologists, and am actively involved with local professionals to create change. 

After having my second child, I decided that it was time to embark on an adventure fueled by my passion for helping ADHD women. And I wanted to execute all of it to be accessible to anyone who has access to the internet!
