NEURODIVERGENT WELLNESS

Neurodiversity describes the idea that people experience and interact with the world around them in many different ways; there is no one "right" way of thinking, learning, and behaving, and differences are not viewed as deficits.

Harvard Medical School
Diversity, including neurodiversity, is what makes each of us unique, and gives our species the remarkable capacity to invent and adapt to changing circumstances.

Psychology Today
The basis of neurodivergent-affirming care comes from the neurodiversity paradigm. The idea behind the neurodiversity paradigm is that neurodivergent conditions like ADHD, Autism, Dyslexia, and others are normal variations in the human condition.

Dr. Megan Anna Neff, Neurodivergent Insights
Neurodivergent isn’t a medical term. Instead, it’s a way to describe people using words other than “normal” and “abnormal.” That’s important because there’s no single definition of “normal” for how the human brain works.

Neurodivergent Wellness Circles

Self care is not a one-size-fits-all approach.

Wellness is not about comparing and forcing other people’s methods on yourself for “optimal” health.

So, what does it mean to live well? We’ll explore this question and more in our seasonal Neurodivergent Wellness Circles.

If you desire to deepen your relationship with yourself and design compassionate strategies for energy, flow, creativity, and resilience in community, these highly curated learning and coaching containers are for you. Read below for information on our current offerings.

Here you will find a rotating theme of neurodivergent affirming support circles designed for non-linear thinkers, sensitive people, and creatives.

Neurodivergent Wellness Circle: Redefining Productivity & Self-Worth

Neurodivergent Wellness Circle: Redefining Productivity & Self-Worth

$90.00 $100.00

Course Description

Many highly sensitive and neurodivergent adults live under the weight of productivity myths: the pressure to “do more,” perform perfectly, or keep up with systems that weren’t designed for their nervous systems. For those who discover their ADHD or Autism later in life, this pressure can feel especially heavy—layered with years of masking, self-criticism, and the belief that rest must be earned.

This circle offers a divergent approach to wellness: one grounded in compassion, community, and trust. Together we’ll explore what it means to loosen the grip of perfectionism, challenge internalized ableism, and reframe productivity in ways that actually support neurodivergent bodies and minds. Through guided reflection, somatic practices, and the wisdom of seasonal cycles, you’ll learn to define success on your own terms and prepare for a winter of rest.

We’ll spend four weeks exploring how to recognize and release old patterns, practice self-compassion, and imagine new possibilities for balance and belonging. You’ll receive practical tools, interactive exercises, group coaching, and the support of a like-minded community along the way.

Week 1 - Naming the Productivity Myths

“This course was so insightful! Not only did it teach me so much about neurodivergence in general, Kaylyn also taught us in a way that continually invited us to listen to our own bodies, hearts, minds, and souls to identify our own wants and needs. I feel so empowered and am already making beautiful changes in my life to choose a life that brings me joy. So grateful!”
