Come What May Coaching

About

I am a mental health life coach for individuals and parents or caregivers of loved ones with special needs. I understand first hand how important mental health is and how that can effect every aspect of your life!

For the past 28 years I have been a parent of 3 children with special needs. My first child was diagnosed with Autism at age 2. This was back in 1994 when there was such a stigma around Autism that I was still being told that I had done something to make my son like this! This sparked a fight deep inside me. A fight that went against what every parent like I was being told. So, I went to work. I went to work to educate myself on special needs from every possible angle that a parent would have to approach.
As I learned more and more, I had the opportunity to support new parents as a liaison for my local regional center working with those parents and their local school districts. I have worked with parents and with support groups for over 18 years. There were so many people that I connected with which gave me the opportunity to learn and grow with not only my own support needs; but by being in service to help and support others as well. This gave me a real insight into how a diagnosis, whether developmental, mental or emotional can literally shift the brain into a completely different mindset as a parent.
Then I stumbled across some of the most profound work I have ever been able to do in my life. I discovered the grace of mental thought work with knowing how to process and move through feelings. Being able to work on my brain and my thoughts not only helped me from living in overwhelm and worry for my children, but I was also able to turn the tables to create possibilities and opportunities for my children and more importantly for myself!
I fully understand the struggles of parents of special needs children and what they go through because I live it! I live it with 3 of my children! As they are now adults, I have had the chance to experience it in different ways depending on each child’s different nature of the struggles that came come daily. I understand how these things can affect the mind and feelings of a parent and how it changes the very structure of the internal nature of who we are.
I have worked for years on understanding how our thoughts and feelings can put us either at odds with the world or bring us peace and joy even through the circumstances that are beyond our control. I have been certified with a high-level coaching program that delves into rewiring your brain to bring you exactly what you want and even more importantly what you need as a parent of special needs.
What parent doesn’t want peace? What parent doesn’t want the assured strength of their abilities? What parent doesn’t want confidence in their approach to education, development, services and whatever else needs to be fought for and found for? What parent doesn’t want strong relationships that bring them support and fulfillment? We ALL want those things! And more importantly, we NEED all those things!
I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that if you are looking for those things, I can help you find them! I can help you develop the tools to have them! I can walk you through not only getting what you need for your child but what you need for yourself! And you don’t have to do it alone! I can be there to help you every step of the way! ALL of those things are possible! I am living proof of that!

I offer 1-on-1 personal weekly coaching for a 6 month period.
