Coaching Exploration Call: Finding the Right Fit Together

Sarah is very approachable; her demeanor put me at ease in our very first meeting. I was able to share openly (without feeling judged) my struggles with my son, his struggles, as well as the challenges we face at school. Sarah not only coached me, she also provided me with lots of resources that empowered me to approach the school with confidence. Having just left Asia and moved to a new country (UK), I struggled to adjust to how the school was managing ND students like my son. Sarah played a huge part, from across the globe, and helped me through the process. Even though there were challenges with the school, Sarah remained committed and saw me through the process. Sarah’s coaching has been empowering. Her passion to help ND families thrive is indisputable. Thank you, Sarah!

I have learned so much in the last few years about how to help our neurodivergent students and in a large part that comes from Sarah. Her passion and knowledge about the subject makes her an amazing resource and her willingness to vulnerably share in the work, understanding that we are all learning and growing together makes it a wonderful partnership. The fact that Sarah understands neurodivergent people from so many different perspectives makes her in my opinion the perfect resource and the coach I would recommend for anyone wanting to learn and grow in this area.

Sarah is a fantastic coach and advocate! My family moves every couple of years and one of our recent moves was particularly difficult, especially for our neurodivergent children. We were navigating a new culture and school. I heard about a parent support group through my friend network and instantly joined. It was such a relief to be with parents who understood some of the challenges we face. Sarah was leading the support group, she made me feel welcomed and heard. She arranged a wide range of guest speakers who spoke on various topics around parenting strategies for families with neurodivergent kids. She was proactive and regularly shared relevant articles, websites, and other resources with parents. I highly recommend Sarah.

Sarah provided me and my family with a shelter from the storm. She is intelligent, incredibly informed and, as a librarian, full of perfect resources about neurodivergent students and the dynamics surrounding those students within a school or home environment. However, what made her our lifesaver went above and beyond. Thanks to the safety and empathy I felt while working with Sarah, I was able to see my entire child again and experience all that is incredible about him and his future. Relief. Hope. Trust. She was exactly what we needed in the beginning, middle and end of our process to help our child receive the support he needed to thrive. She was my oxygen mask so that I could do all the many things I needed to do, like testing, meeting with school administrators, negotiating resources, etc., and to do it, eventually, with grace and confidence.

Sarah is an amazing coach and advocate. When I first received my child's ADHD diagnosis, there was so much to learn and understand. Sarah helped me through these days. She asked me questions and helped me set goals for our sessions, so each meet was tailored to the needs of our family. She demonstrated deep listening and fed back to me, as I processed and determined my own child's needs. Through our sessions, I was able to learn how to navigate IEP's, psychiatrists, and side effects from medicine. Sarah's kindness, compassion, knowledge and continued education helped me to become a much stronger ADHD advocate for my child and her specific learning needs. Thank you, Sarah!
