HOW I WORK
Besides ADHD coaching I am also trained in Lifestyle Medicine and Health Coaching for complex chronic conditions such as ADHD and its many co-morbidities. This means I have a deep understanding of how every aspect of the way you live your life and the environment you live in affects your ADHD symptoms, but also your personal health and well-being beyond ADHD.
It is my passion to help you connect the dots for your own life and help you understand what you can do to make your brain work more efficiently and make yourself feel and function better.

WHY COMBINE LIFESTYLE MEDICINE WITH HEALTH COACHING & ADHD COACHING?
What is unique about my approach is to combine the insights we have about how lifestyle affects ADHD and other chronic health conditions with health coaching methods that empower you to take your health into your own hands to truly achieve lasting behaviour change. Paired with a deep understanding of the manifold ways in which ADHD can manifest in someone's life, the particular challenges this can pose as well as specific ADHD coaching tools that help you to overcome those difficulties this becomes a great formula for balancing the positive and negative symptoms of ADHD, restoring your health alongside it and building a new lifestyle that you're going to love!
Most people are aware that they feel better if they move more, eat healthier, or get more sleep, for instance. But changing any habit is difficult, if it was easy you'd have done it all along. A coach is trained in techniques that help you bridge this intention-behaviour gap to achieve what you actually want for your well-being.
"Many people struggle with something that is damaging their well-being, e.g. uncontrolled stress, excess weight, life balance, low energy, poor fitness, inadequate levels of positive emotions, or a medical condition. They find it difficult to engage, day in day out, in investing in their health and well-being in order to foster vitality and avoid a preventable illness."
"Health and wellness coaches work with clients to improve their health, vitality, and well-being by engaging in behaviors that have been proven to improve health and prevent disease including weight loss, fitness, nutrition, stress coping, sleep, mind-body and positive psychology interventions."
"Coaches help people overcome the struggle, and build resources such as self-empathy, self-motivation, self-awareness, mindfulness, new insights and perspectives, confidence, optimism, and resilience, and make changes that last. Their new lifestyles become embedded into who they are."

I HAVE ADHD BUT NO OTHER HEALTH CONDITION. WOULD I STILL BENEFIT FROM WORKING WITH YOU?
YES! The severity of ADHD symptoms is hugely influenced by our lifestyle. Developing and SUSTAINING healthy habits is not easy for anyone, throwing executive dysfunction in the mix and it can become a seemingly insurmountable challenge. This is where coaching really shines to support you to set realistic goals for yourself and systematically work towards them to turn them into reality.
