About me
Why I do this
A few years ago I went to a neurologist about migraines and burnout. It was the first time anyone had mentioned ADHD to me, and I left that appointment with a lot of questions about myself.
I started with an ADHD coaching course, mostly to understand my own brain. The biggest thing I took from it was that strategies only really work when your nervous system is calm enough to use them.
I wanted to know why, so I went on to study neuroscience coaching and kept applying everything back to ADHD. The more I learned, the more I saw how much of our behaviour is the nervous system responding to what's around us. That's what brought me to ACT, and to how I work now, looking at ADHD as both mind and body.
I've also been through assessment and starting medication myself, and that's where the Pathway to Diagnosis and the Medication Integration Programme came from.
I've been hooked on this since the start, and I still am.
Neuro is the brain, and bloom is what happens when it gets the right support.
My job is to explain what's going on inside your brain in a way that makes sense, so you can understand yourself and be a bit kinder to yourself too.
Before coaching
My background is in social care, working with adults with intellectual disabilities, and I'm qualified in intellectual disabilities too. I also run children's art classes at Littleblooms Art Studio.
What keeps me going
I'm always learning, and I research something every day. Along the way I've realised that a big part of my work is bridging the gap between patients and the doctors treating them, helping each side understand the other. It's become close to a calling.
I'm also proud of the community on my TikTok, @neurobloomcoaching. The hundreds of comments people share with me have taught me more than any course about where people really are and what they need next.
