About In Their Rhythm
We all have our own rhythm: different brains, nervous systems, and bodies that shape how we communicate, process, and move through the world. That variation is at the heart of neurodiversity. To thrive, we need to understand our rhythm and build practices that support it. As parents, we do this for our children and gradually hand the skill off, so they can eventually do it for themselves.
Much of the world is built on neurotypical assumptions. When we or our children are neurodivergent, our experience will be different, and it helps to build expectations and practices that honor that.

I’m a certified neurodiversity coach who supports parents of neurodivergent children, and anyone ready to reassess their own rhythm and design supportive practices. Both come from the same belief: when we understand how we’re wired, we can build a life that fits.
When my family was navigating neurodivergence, I felt a profound gap between what we were facing and the support available to us. Clear information, someone to talk things through with, and a way to work toward change made a real difference for me, and I want you to feel seen, heard, and resourced too.
That gap is why I became a neurodiversity coach. Along the way, I realized this kind of support shouldn’t be limited to parents, so I also offer life design coaching to anyone ready to rethink how they want to live.
My work draws on a psychology background, a PhD in communication studies, a certification in ICF-accredited neurodiversity coaching, and over a decade of lived experience parenting a neurodivergent child.
I believe how we speak about ourselves and others shapes who we become, and our mindset, language and tone can move us from a focus on limits to an appreciation of strengths and possibility. I bring deep listening, evidence-informed insight, and practical strategies to every conversation.
