A Space Designed for Neurodivergent Minds
A Space Designed for Neurodivergent Minds
Neurodivergence is a rich spectrum—encompassing Autism, ADHD, Dyslexia, Tics, Dyspraxia, and more. While every individual experience is unique, many of us share common threads: heightened sensory sensitivities, vibrant (or perhaps less visual) inner landscapes, and distinct ways of experiencing our bodies and emotions.
Many in our community also navigate the weight of "masking," burnout, and the challenges of a world not built for our nervous systems.
In these sessions, I invite you to show up exactly as you are. As a doctor, researcher, and practitioner, I have intentionally adapted these mindfulness practices to honor the way neurodivergent minds actually work.
This is a low-demand space:
Complete Agency: There is no pressure to share, speak, or keep your camera on.
Freedom of Movement: You are never expected to sit still or stay quiet. Stimming, fidgeting, and moving are welcomed forms of presence.
Affirming Practice: We don't "fix" neurodivergence, there is nothing to "fix"; we co-create a supportive environment where your way of being is valued and understood.
Why Adapted Mindfulness?
Why Adapted Mindfulness?
When facilitated with care and flexibility, mindfulness offers powerful tools for the neurodivergent nervous system. We move away from "traditional" rigid structures and toward a practice that supports:
🌱 Self-Compassion over Judgment: Building a kinder, more curious relationship with your unique mind and moving away from internalized shame.
🌬️ Nervous System Regulation: Creating a "buffer" between a stimulus and your response, providing vital tools to navigate overwhelm and emotional intensity.
🛑 Burnout Prevention: Learning to recognize the subtle signals of exhaustion early, supporting rest and recovery.
🎧 Sensory Attunement: Tuning into your body and environment in a way that feels safe, empowering, and grounded.
💡 Cognitive Ease: Offering gentle grounding tools that support executive functioning, helping you pause and reset when things feel cluttered.
🤝 Shared Belonging: Connecting with a community that honors your lived experience, reducing the isolation that often accompanies neurodivergence.
