Individualized coaching support is offered to adults who are interested in developing mindfulness skills to improve health and wellness, and understanding the interplay between our environments, thoughts, and behaviors. Mindful NS specialized coaching approach is designed for late-identified Autistic / ADHD / AuDHD adults seeking help in creating a life more supportive to their styles and needs.
Mindful Neuro Support is not therapy or counseling. Rather, it is a supportive coaching practice rooted in contextual behavioral science (ACT / DNA-V) that focuses on discovery, strength identification, building acceptance, and helping you work towards self-identified goals.
The Mindfully Divergent coaching approach can be discussed in two parts:
The first part focuses on Discovery in which we will begin with understanding who you are and where you are at in this particular moment in life. To support discovery, the focus will be on learning about the neurodiversity paradigm and the divergent nervous system, a deep dive into Autism and ADHD as well as exploring one’s own unique neuroprofile. As awareness grows, so too can acceptance. This is the foundation.
The second part is Expansion which focuses on developing a mindfulness practice that honors one’s neurotype, how to use present moment awareness to support a divergent nervous system, and living a values-based life as a neurodivergent adult.
Mindfulness is the main component of this coaching approach because it is through the pauses that mindfulness affords us in which we can more efficiently notice what is happening within the body and mind in the present moment. When this space is created, we can make skillful decisions based on what our nervous systems are relaying rather than reacting to unhelpful thoughts and rigid rules we have created for ourselves, or rules that have been imposed upon us. We open ourselves to choices that truly support rather than limiting ourselves through repeating ineffective or harmful behavior repertoires.
-Sessions are delivered remotely through a HIPAA compliant telehealth platform. Services (including mindfulness styles and strategies) and forms of communication will be tailored based on your individual needs and preferences.

Although each family plan is individualized to their unique situation and goals, generally services include: 1) support for the child / children in developing communication skill sets, autonomy, emotion recognition, awareness, effective coping strategies, social connections, etc.; and (2) parent education on the neurodivergent lived experience and collaboration on how to best support your child’s unique profile.
Services are reviewed and led by a neurodivergent analyst, and focused on supporting the neurodivergent child develop skills that will help them grow into a healthy, happy, and thriving neurodivergent adult.
The approach: 1) assent-based- your child’s autonomy and choices are always respected and prioritized, (2) neuroaffirming- strength-based approach, identify necessary accommodations, focus on your child’s self-determination skills, and assist in meaningful areas that increase your child’s access to more joy and peace, (3) naturalistic/play-based teaching strategies, and (4) parental involvement, education, and support.
Consultation/parent support sessions and direct teaching sessions are delivered either through a HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform or in person, decided on a case-by-case basis. At this time, direct in-home services can only be provided for those residing in the front range area of Colorado. If you are out of state, telehealth behavior consultation can be provided.

Why Mindfulness is the Foundation
Mindfulness is a main component because it is through the pauses that mindfulness affords us in which we can open up our choices and options in how we are moving through the world. This is where transformative change can occur. Bhante Gunaratana says it best, “Mindfulness gives us time. Time gives us choices. Choices, skillfully made, lead to freedom.” By improving our mindfulness skill set, we get better at noticing what is happening within our bodies and within our minds in the present moment. When we create this space, we can then make skillful decisions in how we move forward given the context we are presently in, rather than limiting ourselves by repeating ineffective or harmful repertoires that result from unhelpful thoughts and rigid rules we have created for ourselves, or that have been imposed upon us.
