Want to accomplish what matters without masking or burning out?
If you’ve spent your entire life trying to do things the neurotypical way, you've been working way too hard with systems that don't fit your brain.
Let us help you create a life that works with your neurodivergence, not against it, so you can wave goodbye to looping thought cycles, procrastination, emotional exhaustion, and burnout for good.
We know firsthand that managing mental health while keeping up with the demands of life is overwhelming.
And doing it without a full understanding of your needs and how to meet them? Practically impossible.
You don’t have to feel so overwhelmed. Support is here. .
It’s normal to feel the need for space and rest. It can seem incredible that other people are functioning at the level they are, with everything seemingly falling into place. You want to be able to consistently get done what needs to happen. You want to have energy and motivation for your personal goals and taking care of yourself and your community. But how do other people do it?
The secret is… their needs are different from yours. They may not have the sensory sensitivities you do, or burn as much energy with an endless inner monologue. They don’t need as many breaks or as much rest or mental recovery time to be functioning at their best.
What you need are resources tailored to brains that function like yours. Resources written with the understanding that all brains function differently. Resources that meet you with gentle encouragement and acceptance. You don’t need to change the way you think or function – you just need to understand your needs and meet them so you can thrive rather than just survive.
Stop trying to paddle your lifeboat with a teaspoon.
Let us give you tools to navigate burnout, understand your emotions, advocate, and communicate
Check out the way we cover these topics in our blog, and join our newsletter for a free, 16-page Managing Sensory Overwhelm workbook (along with updates about Neurodiverging’s events and new podcast episodes).
Finding a community can feel like trying to fit a round peg into a square hole.
Explore the Neurodiverging Podcast for compassionate support with sensory and emotional regulation challenges, to learn about traits and histories of ADHD and autism, and listen to perspectives from experts and experienced members of our community.
Discover how to understand and meet your needs so that life gets a little easier and reaching your goals feels not only possible, but inevitable.
From our freely accessible blog posts and podcast episodes covering topics like sensory overwhelm, self-advocacy and emotional regulation, to our Patreon exclusive video materials, we’ve got you covered.
Being different – more sensitive, misunderstanding others, finding certain situations overwhelming and unbearable – breeds loneliness. Your community is out there.. And in fact, it’s in here!
You don’t have to navigate this all alone.
Let your community embrace you, and show you the path we’ve forged.
Welcome, I'm glad you made it!
It’s great to meet you. My name is Danielle Sullivan: I’m a gender nonconforming, neurodivergent parent, certified coach, and business owner.
At Neurodiverging, a focus of our coaching is on re-training our brains to release shame, meet ourselves where we are, and rely on tools that actually work for our nervous systems.
Our work together helps you build better relationships, trust in yourself, and live a values-first life.
We want our clients to feel seen, welcomed, cherished, and capable.
If you want to learn patience and flexibility with yourself, we have personalized tools and resources waiting for you.
If you want to learn about your neurodivergence and need help making sense of the chaos – we’re here.
If you’ve tried it all before, and are ready to meet yourself where you are and try something new – we’d love to be your partner in that.
Our staff of coaches have firsthand experience as neurodivergent members of society. We understand the pain and sadness which can come along with neurodivergence in a neurotypical world. We know how it feels to try to fit in and do things the way everyone else is. We’re not here as a director or a judge.
We are a passionate group who value our community and structure our work accordingly…
…from Jenn Beavington (she/her), hailing from British Columbia with a certification from CTI and 15 years of experience, to Jeremy Walker (he/him) who holds several certifications and credentials and discovered his existence on the spectrum at 45.
Or, you might be paired with Lila Hartelius and benefit from her background as a language teacher, and passion for guiding menstruating humans in finding what is most easeful in each stage of their cycle. Maybe you feel most drawn to Dr. Anne Elrod Whitney (she/her) – a coach, author, educator, and believer in the transformative power of words. Or maybe I, Danielle Sullivan, could be the perfect fit for your speaking event, training, or coaching session(s). Learn more about our team here.
Whomever you end up working with, the process is straightforward. Maybe you take our 5 minute survey to find the right next step for you, or maybe you’ll go directly to fill out a brief form with your info and be invited to connect with us further via email so we can each make sure we’re the right fit to work together.
Our work together is highly personalized, flexible, and affirming. These sessions center your needs, your goals, and your capacity. It is tailor-made to ensure you feel supported.
By signing up for our coaching, you receive not only one-on-one coaching with a neurodivergent practitioner, but resources and tools chosen with your needs and learning style in mind. We also offer asynchronous support between sessions so you can reach out between calls for encouragement, reflection, or to adjust what’s not working.
You don’t need to show up already knowing what you want or need. Part of our coaching is discovering that!
Our team also understands the financial barriers to getting help – which is why our tiered pricing for coaching services is so important to us. This means that our clients self-select which tier of payment works for them in order to receive coaching. Using tiered payment structures allow us to offer free or low-cost services to those who need it, while others who are financially comfortable doing so may pay more for their sessions, thus sponsoring other community members. It’s community care in action.

As a parent myself, I understand what parent-specific challenges neurodivergent folks face. We have resources and recommendations for mixed neurotype families, those who are just learning about certain types of neurodivergence, and a free Neurodivergent Parent Affinity Group that meets monthly on Zoom through our community group! We’re here to support, educate, and normalize the challenges our community faces.
You deserve respectful, fact-based support and resources for yourself and your family. Visit our personalized resource recommendation form to receive suggestions tailored to your needs.
Our brains need encouragement, acknowledgement of progress – even small – and rewards along the way for the hard work of getting through. Neurodiverging coaching meets you with the loving encouragement of an older sister – knowing what you’re capable of, and encouraging those steps forward, at your pace and level of functioning.
Our community is thoughtful about how we expect or ask you to show up. We provide live workshops, replays, and coworking time where you can choose your level of participation. Show up as you are: we promise to meet you there.
