Neuro-Affirming Movement Support

Why traditional exercise often doesn’t work

I see this a lot. Traditional exercise programs are usually built around rigid structures, fixed expectations, and one “right” way to move. For many neurodivergent people, that doesn’t land. Instead, it can lead to frustration, shutdown, boredom, overwhelm, or the sense that movement just isn’t for you.

That isn’t a personal failure. The model was never built with different brains in mind.

How I work differently

I support neurodivergent people to find ways of moving that actually fit their brain, body, energy, and life. We work with your nervous system, attention, sensory needs, and capacity on the day, not against them.

Many people come to me feeling like they’ve tried everything and “can’t stick to exercise”. What I usually see is someone who’s been asked to fit into systems that were never accomodating or supportive enough to begin with.

Lived experience matters

I’m auDHD, the wonderful combination of having ADHD and being autisitc. I know what it’s like to want movement to help, but to find the usual approaches inaccessible, dysregulating, or unsustainable.

My work is informed by my own lived experience and by listening closely to the lived experiences of the people I work with. You don’t need a formal diagnosis to work with me. Self-identification is very much valid and respected.

A flexible, supportive space

Sessions are adapted to you. That might mean changing plans on the day, using external cues, reducing decision load, keeping things predictable, or making room for rest, variation, or play.

The goal isn’t discipline or consistency for its own sake. It’s building a relationship with movement that feels safer, more neutral, and more doable over time.
