Parenting a Neurodivergent Child in Burnout Is Overwhelming

You Don’t Have to do it Alone…

You’re holding a lot right now.
The meltdowns, the shutdowns, the silent withdrawals. The school calls, the sleep struggles, the sadness you can’t quite name. The aching question in your chest: “Am I doing enough? Am I doing it right?”

Take a breath, you’ve found your way here, and that’s no small thing.

This space was created for you.
For the parent who feels overwhelmed, isolated, and unsure.
For the one searching for real answers, gentle guidance, and a way forward that honours your child’s neurodivergence and your own nervous system.

Here, we do things differently.
I meet you where you are.
We walk together through the messy middle, centring on nervous system safety, low-demand parenting, repair and reconnection, identity, community, and soul-deep healing.

Gentle, neuro-affirming support for you and your child—without pressure, shame, or overwhelm.

gentle support for parenting autistic children

Parenting a neurodivergent child in burnout is hard. It can feel like you’re failing them and yourself.

But you don’t have to do it alone, and you don’t have to sacrifice your relationship with them (or yourself) to survive this. My approach is gentle, neuro-affirming, and realistic—because I know you’re already doing your best.
