I am from Dublin but moved to Kildare after I got married to start my family. I had two beautiful children born a year and a day apart and was also working full time as an accountant, so life was really busy. Once my children started school I became their voice as I could see how the school system was not helping them to thrive. I began a long battle to access supports and assessments and finally in 2023 both my children and husband were diagnosed with ADHD. What now I thought!
We took it in our strides and once we had the diagnosis I thought that the battle was over! But it appeared it was just the beginning. At this time we had also been fostering children with needs and it was very apparent the lack of supports and education that our country had to offer.
I felt alone in my journey and at times had my parenting questioned, my reasons for all the questions I was asking tested, and I doubted myself. I needed support, understanding, empathy even, but it was no where to be found.
My husband came across ADDCA which is based in New York and their Coaching courses. He said this is what we have been looking for! I enrolled and It was the best thing I have ever done. I felt at home. I found my people.
I made it my mission to share all I was learning with anyone I knew who was struggling with ADHD and finally after a long wait I received my own diagnosis of ADHD in 2024. I felt the pieces had all fit in the jigsaw.
Over the years I had struggled with anxiety, my fast brain creating all sorts of scenarios that kept me frozen at times. Finally I had a reason why and knew the techniques and coaching that I had jumped into myself would made amazing changes.
During my training I lost my beautiful Mommy and I realized that I can not control the world and everything that is happening in it but I can create my own world. I have learned to love my brain, and in doing so I have uncovered all the magic that is me! And I am modeling for my children to do the same.
My values are love, support, kindness and also a bit of humour and I use these to help you uncover what is magic about you through the coaching process so you can become a beautiful butterfly and learn to transform.
