About me
I'm Ola, a somatic coach and nervous system guide for neurodivergent women. I'm ADHD myself and for years I tried to think, research and project-manage my way into an easier family life. I read everything I could find on my son's specific condition (and he's a rare mix of ADHD, ASD and PDA), probably enough to earn a PhD in it. And he still went into autistic burnout anyway.
That was the moment I stopped looking for the next technique and started actually learning how my own nervous system worked, and how much it had been shaping his, just as much as his was shaping mine. What followed changed everything, how I parent, how I work, how I live. My work now combines deep future-focused coaching (Mind) nervous system and somatic principles (Body) and embodied action.
I hold a Level 7 executive coaching qualification and I'm trained in somatic coaching and attend regular supervision. I want to be upfront that I'm not a trauma specialist and I'm not pretending to be one. What I am is someone who's actually lived through the dysregulation, the shame and the exhaustion in my own home, with my own intense, explosive, wonderful kid.
I don't think the goal was ever to become a calmer mother. I think it's to become an alive one. Regulated enough to be present. Expressed enough to be real. Fierce enough to be exactly what my child needs, whenever he needs it.
