Amazing morning with the ladies from Mana Wahine in Motueka this morning, and a beautiful testimonial 🥰
That was my favourite workshop by far it was powerful, impactful and informative.
I loved, loved Kirsty's passion and desire to pass on important and valuable information.
I loved that she knew stats and had real depth and insight.

Would absolutely love an Ext course with her and see her again!

Definitely a Māna Enhancer, thanku.

Adhd coaching helps you find your autonomy 🥰 Autonomy is about our who, what, where and when. I help clients with their autonomy through:

Support: Being able to make choices, communicate, and have a safe environment
Structure: Predictability and routine can help people with ASD feel regulated
Understanding: Learning to understand how people with ASD communicate, and giving them time to process information
Accommodations: Considering their individual needs when arranging contexts, such as in the workplace
