Language around mindbodies/neurodiversity (in English) has developed based on a pathology paradigm - the idea that there is an ideal way to exist and that difference is a deficit. In order to break free from this, we need decolonised terms. Here are three that I use in my work to help the depathologising, decolonising , dismantling process:

Neuro-performative: Ways of existing that align with the construct of normal, but require an individual to move away from their own unique baseline of normal. 

Neuro-embodiment: The process of finding our own baseline of 'normal' and learning to recognise when we are and aren't operating from it.

Neuro-normal: Ways of existing that align with your specific mindbody, and that are the 'normal' baseline for you as an individual.

If you resonate with the experiences listed under ‘I can help you’, yes, I can.

Appropriated, white-wellness industry ‘yoga’ is inaccessible, focuses on and elevates Asana (positions) above other aspects of yoga, and promotes fatphobia, ableism, racism, and reinforces capitalist and colonial concepts around success, individualism and perfectionism. True yoga is a mind-body-spirit science, philosophy and practice that can support you to grow, heal and connect. Neuro Embodied Yoga is accessible for neurodivergents and is about connecting you to your most compassionate, decolonised self. When processing the often challenging and uncomfortable content around ableism and racism, yoga can support you to integrate your learning and look after your nervous system as it adjusts to new ways of thinking, being and doing. I also offer a coaching-only programme if you don't feel like yoga is for you.

Yes, my Global Majority clients get a great deal from our work together. If you want to heal from internalised ableism and racism and to take a decolonial approach to your life, I can support you.

White supremacy is one of the colonial systems that is harming all of us. When people who have been racialised as white, or who have some access to whiteness (through being a light-skinned member of the Global Majority, for example) engage in social justice work without understanding the way white supremacy pervades our reality and the connections between the systems of harm that cause ableism and racism, they are unable to contextualise their own experience and therefore unable to be effective in dismantling those systems. Autistics and ADHDers are the most visible within Neurodiversity advocacy and activism and therefore have the most influence. In order for Autistics and ADHDers with access to whiteness to be powerful forces for change, they need to be able to locate themselves within intersectionality and hold themselves accountable while navigating their neurodivergent features with compassion and needs-based support. This is where I position myself - to provide one on one support and neurodivergent feature-specific frameworks to support this journey of unlearning, relearning and arrival into agency and change-making. 

Depending on availability, I can offer one-off or as needed sessions to support you in your onward journey. There is no time limit on this work.

No. I do not hold any qualifications that would enable me to diagnose, prescribe or recommend treatment plans. I use my academic knowledge of Neuroscience, my professional experience in People & Culture and Social Justice, my yoga teaching experience and my lived experience as a Global Majority, Autistic, ADHDer to provide frameworks and support for personal growth.
