About me
My name is Samantha and as an expat, AuDHD-er, mother, eldest daughter, career-switcher and burnout recovery-er, I get it.
10 years into my career in marketing, I burned out. During that time, I received my ADHD diagnosis and learned that marketing was not a career I could return to. Thanks to the wonder of coincidence, I was offered an opportunity to join a Neurodiversity Coach Training at the same time as learning through career-coaching that psycho-social counseling would be a good path for me. And so began my new adventure as a Neurodiversity Coach.
My later-in-life ADHD discovery explained so many things about who I am and what was challenging in my life. It opened the door to self-acceptance and self-compassion, which would have been much harder without the space and support to reflect on my experience and unmask.
I connect with my clients through shared lived experience, non-judgmental understanding and empathy.
