Best way for potential clients to contact you

Email: Maria@mariasoledad.ca

I provide specialized ADHD coaching for families and adults, informed by my firsthand experience living alongside three wonderfully neurodiverse loved ones. This unique perspective helps me truly understand the everyday ups and downs, seeing the world through both ADHDer and non-ADHDer lenses.
My coaching approach is rooted in compassion, science, and practical growth: we’ll deepen your understanding of how your brain works, uncover and celebrate your strengths, and nurture genuine self- acceptance.

What is a superpower folks with ADHD have?

I don’t like the word superpower because that means that the person is a superhero…I like to say that ADHDers are amazing at seeing what most of us don’t see hence coming up with very creative ways to see the world.

What do you recommend to help clients focus on their work?

Loosing focus, interest, and procrastination. Finding systems that work, not forcing to “do it” like everyone else. Understanding you and what works!

What do you love about working with your clients?

Seeing the growth and the aha moments along the way.

How would you describe your unique style of working with clients?

Client centered, co-creation, real!

What does mental wellbeing mean to you?

Everything! I have a phrase that I use during hard times, “I am light” it helps me find my inner strength and look after myself.
