Meet Donae

As an occupational therapist, professionally trained coach, and a fellow ADHD brain I understand how ADHD can impact all of life; relationships, careers, finances, self care, and even self trust.

I've seen how the shame of past failures (and the fear of experiencing more) can shut us down and make it hard to know what to do next.  

If the techniques that work for typical brains haven't worked for you, it's time to try something new. Designing a life with more ease, self trust, and peace is possible. I can help you learn to work with your brain so you can make the changes that matter to you!
