About
Meet Sara
I’m not your typical coach—I’m a Board Chair, Non-Executive Director, ex CEO and a proud neurodivergent thinker.
As a kid, I was one of those "smart" kids—talented at academic work, piano, dance, and anything that involved a creative spark.
But I was also highly anxious, hypervigilant, and overwhelmed by things most people wouldn’t notice—fabrics, foods, smells, sounds, and the constant intensity of the world around me. Criticism felt excruciating, both mentally and physically, and sometimes my voice just disappeared. I became non verbal, once, for a whole year. Being smart helped me earn people’s approval, and for a while, that gave me something to hold onto.
Then high school hit, and everything I’d relied on fell apart. I worked hard but couldn’t make sense of the words teachers were saying. The work didn’t come naturally anymore, and teachers suggested I switch to “easier” classes for students who didn’t have much academic aptitude. I got angry, which sparked something in me. I dissected how the school system worked, figured out how exams were set and marked, and blitzed through senior year—not because I understood the work, but because I figured out how to work the system.
After school, I felt directionless and ended up in a career where I was quickly eaten alive by bullies. In my late twenties, I discovered the corporate world and leadership, and for the first time, I felt alive and at home. My career took me across roles, sectors and industries—and I found I could master anything I set my mind to. What I didn’t fully realise was the toll these high-stress roles took on my health and wellbeing, mostly because I wasn’t well connected to my inner signals and needs.
When two of my children were diagnosed with ADHD, a lightbulb went on for me. I threw myself into research, diving deep into the science and lived experiences of neurodivergence, and quickly realised my own neurodivergent identity. It turned out I was an Autistic ADHDer with auditory processing challenges. That discovery led me to make changes and head down a new path. I left my executive career to pursue my passions as a Coach, Facilitator and Board Director. Now, I get to combine my love for advocacy, evidence based learning and coaching with my professional skills, supporting individuals and teams to create neuroinclusive environments where every mind can thrive.
My Approach
I’m a straight shooter, and I don’t believe in rigid coaching formulas or pre-set agendas. When we work together, it’s about you. I’m here to help you clarify what matters most, and we’ll shape the journey around that. My natural style is direct, energising, and grounded in the real world, but I’m also a “chameleon”—adapting my approach to match what each person needs. I’ll meet you where you are, with no lock-in contracts, rigid programs, or pressure to fit into a mould. We create the space for honest growth, practical insight, and genuine success.
Who I Work With
I work with neurodivergent leaders, professionals, entrepreneurs, Boards and teams who are ready to leverage their differences as strengths. My coaching clients often come to me with challenges like difficult transitions, strained work relationships, people-pleasing tendencies, productivity struggles, sensory challenges, burnout, or a desire to find their true leadership style. You don’t need a formal diagnosis to work with me—if you feel your brain works a little differently or you suspect you are neurodivergent, this is a place where you’re welcome and understood.
My clients also include organisations who recognise they have neurodivergent team members but feel out of their depth when it comes to supporting them. They often face challenges in bridging the gap between neurodivergent and neurotypical team members, and they know that fostering a collaborative, inclusive environment requires insight and practical strategies. I help these organisations create neuroinclusive cultures where everyone—regardless of neurotype—can work together effectively and thrive.
My Why
I believe deeply in the power of neurodivergent minds and the power of all minds working together. I know from experience that the world wasn’t built for neurodivergent people, but with the right support, we have the potential to achieve incredible things. My “why” is simple: I want to see neurodivergent people thrive. I’ve seen what happens when we’re understood, supported, and given the space to bring our best selves forward. It’s my mission to help more people achieve that, to create environments where our unique brains can flourish rather than fight to fit in.
My Mission
My mission is to empower neurodivergent individuals to thrive in ways that align with who they truly are while supporting organisations to create environments where people with different cognitives styles can work together successfully. I bridge the gap between neurotypical and neurodivergent experiences, helping individuals tap into their unique strengths and helping organisations foster a culture of understanding, inclusion, and synergy. When neurodivergent people are empowered and organisations embrace neuroinclusion, the results are transformative—for individuals, teams, and entire workplaces.
