Are you a professional mum of an autistic/ADHD child who is questioning how to best support your child? Do you feel overwhelmed, isolated, and torn between juggling family needs and your career? Would you love to share it with a fellow mum who gets it?
“Hi, I’m Jo, and I see you – the late nights, the juggling act, the guilt, and the fierce love. You’re doing so much — and you don’t have to do it alone.” When autism was first mentioned, it blew all my family and career expectations out of the water, and that’s when I started working with my coach.
I’m now a Parenting Coach for Mums of Autistic/ADHD Kids (0-11, diagnosis or not), and mum to my bright, autistic son with ADHD. I help you with practical tools to meet and advocate for your child’s needs and manage the juggle.
I know the heartbreak of watching your child struggle. The confusion of wondering “Is it me?”, and the mental load and isolation of holding everything together when you’re crumbling inside.
I help fellow mums rediscover calm, connection, and control, without sacrificing themselves. I’ve been there, and I’ve created a better way forward.
My Story: I know how hard it can feel, my son ‘Bookasaurus’ is bright, and autistic with ADHD. I love my son, but when we were told ‘You might want to look into autism’ it threw all of my career and family expectations out of the water. I was fearful of the future and kept asking myself, ‘Is he or isn’t he autistic?’ I bottled it all up rather than face the judgement of others – until I started working with a coach who helped me see that he just sees things differently.
I realised that I could help fellow mums, while supporting Bookasaurus as we went through the diagnosis and EHCP process. I built productive relationships with everyone around us, and later supported him in the leap up to Junior School. Bookasaurus is now very happy because I know how to parent and support him, he’s in a school that meets his needs, and I am a much more relaxed mum!
I’m here for you, to listen with understanding so you can download fully, and to guide you in finding the best solutions for you and your child, seeing you smile and the whole family thrive. I take you from overwhelm to feeling truly connected and in control. This journey is for your children, relationship, career, and most importantly, you.
