Frequently Asked Questions

No. Neuromystics™ does not provide therapy, crisis support, diagnosis, or clinical treatment. This is not a medical or mental health practice. Neuromystics™ offers present- and future-focused coaching and healing arts spaces for self-discovery, integration, and growth.

All Neuromystics™ offerings are trauma-informed. This means we recognize that trauma lives in the body and may surface while exploring identity, nervous system patterns, boundaries, or belonging. We hold space for what arises with care, curiosity, and without pathologizing. 

If you need deeper trauma processing or clinical mental health support, we are happy to refer you to skilled and affirming therapists. Coaching and therapy can work well together, as each supports different facets of healing and self-attunement. With your permission, we can also coordinate with your therapist.

Neuromystics™ offers individual and group coaching for divergent minds and sensitive souls–including but not limited to neurodivergent, highly sensitive, gifted, queer, disabled, or chronically ill teens and adults. Coaching is trauma-informed, adaptive, and grounded in liberatory frameworks.

✧ Individual Coaching
1:1 sessions are tailored to your lived experience, sensory needs, and rhythms. Sessions may focus on:

  • ADHD Support – Task initiation, time blindness, working memory, and self-trust (from a fellow ADHDer).

  • Autistic & Sensory-Aware Coaching – Mask-free space to explore communication, boundaries, identity, and regulation.

  • Executive Function – Organizing life around energy and values, not just productivity.

  • Creative Expansion – Support for artists, writers, and idea-generators moving through blocks, burnout, or transitions.

  • Times of Transition – Holding space for liminality, nonlinear healing, and neuro-emotional shifts.

  • Leadership & Visionary Work – Coaching for sensitive leaders, entrepreneurs, and changemakers who want to lead with integrity, clarity, and nervous system awareness.

More about Individual Coaching

✧ Group Coaching
Small group coaching containers (maximum of 8 participants) for those seeking shared learning, reflection, and co-tending the nervous system. Themes vary by season and may include:

  • Identity & Liberation – Exploring neurodivergence, queerness, and authentic self-expression.

  • Creative Practice – Building rhythm, focus, and support for artists and makers.

  • Nature & Somatics – Deepening connection to the body, earth, and sensory awareness.

  • Relationships & Community Care – Circles for parents, partners, and those navigating intimacy or caregiving.

  • Leadership & Professional Growth – Support for inclusive, sensitive leaders, clinicians, and changemakers.

  • Life Stages – Spaces for teens, those living with chronic conditions, and later in life identified autistic adults 55+.

More About Group Coaching

No. You don’t need a diagnosis to access Neuromystics™ offerings. Self-diagnosis, exploration, and lived experience are fully valid and respected here.

All Neuromystics™ coaching and healing arts sessions, except in-person retreats, are virtual. Sessions can be recorded (with your consent) for review and reflection. Each session is collaborative, adaptive, and shaped by your needs, intentions, and access preferences.

You can expect:

  • Personalized flow – no prep required unless you wish.

  • Adaptive tools – conversation, somatic practices, ritual, visualization, or sensory tools.

  • Consent-based space – you choose what feels supportive.

Comfort – you’re free to stim, move, lie down, take breaks or keep your camera off.

Yes. Neurodivergence—including but not limited to ADHD, autism, dyslexia, dyspraxia, OCD, Tourette’s, sensory processing differences—is understood here as a natural variation in human neurology, not something to fix or cure.¹²

In Neuromystics™ spaces, you do not need to mask, over-explain, or adapt yourself to dominant cultural norms. Tangents, stimming, info dumps, silence, self-accommodation, and non-linear thinking are all welcome. 

We define “neurodivergent” as a liberatory term for those whose sensory, cognitive, social, or emotional processing differs from culturally constructed ideas of “normal.” This includes both formally diagnosed and self-identified individuals, as well as those whose neurology has shifted due to trauma, grief, or chronic illness.³⁴

We also recognize that “neurotypical” is not a biological baseline, but a cultural ideal based on systems such as white supremacy, settler colonialism, and ableism.⁵ Naming oneself as neurodivergent in this context can be an act of resistance.

Yes. Neuromystics™ is a queer owned business and LGBTQIA+ affirming space. We honor gender, sexual, and relational diversity. 

Yes. This practice is grounded in a commitment to anti-racism and decentering whiteness—not just in theory, but in practice.

As a white practitioner, I work with humility, accountability, and openness, recognizing both my privilege and my responsibility to dismantle harmful belief systems. I collaborate with clients from diverse backgrounds, including BIPOC clients/people of the global majority, with care and attention to power dynamics.

Conversations about race, ethnicity, identity, and systemic injustice are not only welcome; they are vital to our collective healing. Trust is built, not assumed. If I’m not the right fit, I will gladly refer you to BIPOC-led spaces and practitioners.

About the Founder

Yes. Neuromystics™ is a body-positive and fat-affirming space that honors all body shapes, abilities, and lived experiences.

We do not promote weight loss, diet culture, or appearance-based ideals of health or wellness. Instead, we invite reconnection with the body as a wise, trustworthy guide. This includes honoring sensory needs, capacity changes, cycles of rest, and the body’s natural rhythms as valid ways of knowing and being.

Yes. Neuromystics™ affirms the full spectrum of consensual sexual and relational expression—including kink/BDSM, ethical non-monogamy, celibacy, asexuality, and more. Coaching here is guided by consent, confidentiality, and zero shame.

This is not sex therapy, but coaching can support exploration around identity, pleasure, relationships, and intimacy—especially where they intersect with safety, agency, embodiment, or self-trust. If you need specialized sex therapy or medical care, we’ll refer you to affirming providers.

Yes, with care and clarity around scope.

Coaching is not a replacement for therapy, diagnosis, or treatment for eating disorders such as Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa, Binge Eating Disorder, or Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID). If you are in acute distress, at medical risk, or need nutritional or psychiatric care, we’ll refer you to qualified professionals.

That said, coaching can be a valuable space to explore how food, body image, and nourishment relate to your lived experience, especially if you're neurodivergent.

Research shows that disordered eating—including ARFID, sensory-based aversions, executive functioning challenges, and interoceptive confusion—is more common for autistic folks.¹²³

No. Spirituality is not required.

Here spiritual means a sense of connection with something greater, nature, community, intuition, vaster self, or meaning. It does not have to involve religion or mystical beliefs. Neuromystics™ offers coaching and healing practices that center nature, embodiment, and relational awareness. For some, this may feel spiritual; for others, it may feel grounding or creative. Both are welcome.

We are not a religion or belief system. We work with people across the spectrum of beliefs, secular, scientific, religious, agnostic. Openness and curiosity are encouraged and nurtured.

No. “Woo-woo” often describes things dismissed as ungrounded or unscientific.

At Neuromystics™, we honor the mystical as embodied and evidence-based. Contemporary physics, as well as ancient indigenous knowledge, confirms that everything in the universe—including you—is made of energy and vibration. Resonance and frequency aren’t just poetic metaphors; they’re measurable realities. From this lens, healing can be understood as a process of re-attunement—with your body, your relationships, and the wider world around you. Our work draws on frameworks that bridge science and cultural healing traditions:



  • Somatic psychology & embodiment studies¹

  • Polyvagal Theory²

  • Environmental psychology³

  • Medical anthropology⁴

  • Ecopsychology⁵

  • Disability justice⁶

  • Queer ecology⁷

Nope. But I get the question. I do walk barefoot outside, occasionally twerk on hikes, and talk to plants like family. To me, that’s not strange; it’s relational joy.

I’m not a “hippie” and this is not a cult. There are no gurus here. No robes, no dogma, no dietary requirements, no secret handshake. Just real people gathering and navigating real life, together.

What I am is a coach, guide, and trauma-informed space holder, drawing on academic training, DEI research, somatics, and ecological healing.

It means we honor the Earth as a co-collaborator in our daily lives.  The planet is not simply a resource; it's a living relative that offers life, inspiration, and wisdom. You might be invited to notice your body as part of the larger ecosystem, explore seasonal rhythms, or connect with elements. No hiking required.
