Neurodiversity Peer-Mentorship
& Coaching
What I Offer
As The Unmasked Apothecary, my mentoring practice is built on the belief that support should be deeply individualized, collaborative, and inherently neuroaffirming. Working from within each client’s unique worldview, I center autonomy, creativity, curiosity and compassion through three structured containers designed to help you build rituals, cultivate resilience, and navigate the world on your own terms.
While each program follows a clear roadmap with defined milestones from beginning to end, the journey itself is entirely collaborative. We will co-create every step of your pathway to ensure it honors your unique nervous system and dismantles the masks a neurotypical world has forced you to wear. This isn't about rigid compliance, it is a supportive structure that meets you exactly where you are, leaving you with a living archive of personalized tools, practices, rituals, and take-home resources to sustain your unmasked self.
All sessions are virtual via Zoom, 60-90 minutes in length, and center neuroaffirming safety such as no necessary eye-contact or cameras, utilizing colors, shapes, and modalities that meet your needs, space to move and stimm as needed, supportive beginning and ending rituals, and regular/as needed breaks.

A Note on Working with Youth & Young Learners
While the packages detailed below are structured primarily for adult self-advocates, I also accept a limited number of children and adolescents on a case-by-case basis.
Working with youth requires a deeper, multi-layered approach, including parent/guardian co-regulation alignment, customized sensory tools for school and home environments, and additional processing time. Because of the extra care, ongoing communication, and tailored resource creation involved, mentoring for young clients carries a higher investment.
Youth fit, container structures, and custom pricing are evaluated and finalized during our initial alignment consultation.

A dedicated six-session curriculum designed for deep self-exploration and practical skill-building. Together, we will unpack your unique neurodivergent profile, dismantle internalized masking, and develop sustainable, real-world strategies that honor your natural energy patterns and strengths.
While the outline below paints a broad picture, each client receives an entirely personalized experience. How each topic is approached, what tools and resources are utilized, and what we create as we go will align with your unique profile, including your preferences and needs in respect to communication style, learning style, sensory sensitivities, and so on. Our virtual space will center your comfort and meet you where you are, building upon your own strengths and gifts to chart a course forward that is all your own.
With each session, we’ll work together to create a living library of personalized resources, tools, and practical support, from yogic regulation techniques to connecting you to necessary services in your community, to support the next steps in your journey.
Part 1: Deconstructing the Mask
We begin by identifying where and how you have learned to alter yourself to fit into standardized systems. We safely map out your history of masking, examine internalized neurotypical expectations, and begin the vital process of unlearning compliance.Part 2: Mapping the Nervous System Landscape
True support begins with the body. In this session, we deeply explore your unique sensory profile, identifying your somatic triggers, energetic "glimmers," and safety anchors. We establish a physical foundation that honors how your brain processes the world.Part 3: Boundaries & Authentic Self-Advocacy
In this session, we focus on translating your self-knowledge into the real world. We practice setting firm boundaries around your time and energy, navigating neuroaffirming communication, and learning how to articulate your needs to others without apology.Part 4: Tailoring Executive Function Tools
We reclaim structure on your terms. Instead of looking at executive functioning as a deficit, we treat it as a system requiring its own custom tools. We co-create highly personalized, low-demand strategies for task initiation, focus, and sustainable energy management.Part 5: Curating Sustainable Daily Rhythms
Integration happens in daily life. Here, we weave your strategies into flexible, supportive daily rhythms. We build personalized routines that sustain your baseline executive function and protect your energy, ensuring they feel nourishing rather than restrictive.Part 6: Grounding Your Authority
In our final session, you step fully into ownership of your unmasked life. We solidify your long-term toolkit, establish a plan for maintaining your momentum, and celebrate the deep commitment you have made to living authentically on your own terms.Financial investment: $750 | Flexible payment plans available (3 monthly installments of $250).

Loss and grief can be extraordinarily different for neurodivergent people, whether the loss of a comfort object, safe food, pet, plant, or person. This specialized, three-part offering provides a gentle, fiercely supportive space to process loss, transition, and heavy grief without the pressure to perform “typical” emotional responses. Together, we hold space for your unique expression without judgement, co-create rituals to honor and memorialize, and holistically approach self-care after loss.
Part 1: Expression & Co-Regulation A safe, unmasked space to give words, silence, or somatic expression to your grief. We focus heavily on nervous system co-regulation, honoring the unique sensory and emotional intensity that loss brings to a neurodivergent mind.
Part 2: Co-Creation of Ritual Grief needs a physical home. Together, we will co-create a deeply personalized ritual, memorial, or physical gesture to honor, witness, and memorialize your specific loss in a way that feels authentic to your spiritual world.
Part 3: Sustainable Self-Care After Loss We transition toward the quiet days that follow. We will build practical, holistic tools and low-demand self-care routines tailored to support your executive functioning, sensory needs, and energy levels as you move forward.
Financial investment: $400 | Flexible payment plans available (2 monthly installments of $200).

For many neurodivergent individuals, organized or mainstream spiritual spaces can become just another layer of masking, demanding sensory compliance, social performance, or adherence to rigid hierarchies. This six-session journey is designed for those who want to dismantle those barriers and cultivate an authentic, neuroaffirming spiritual life. Working entirely within your existing religious or spiritual worldview, we focus on moving away from spiritual consumerism and toward a practice deeply rooted in personal sovereignty, collective interconnection, and a beautiful balance of theory and lived action.
Part 1: Deconstructing Spiritual Masking We begin by identifying where spiritual practices or communities have caused sensory overload, forced compliance, or moral injury. We actively unpack internalized shame around "doing it wrong" and begin stripping away the performance of spirituality to find what feels genuinely sacred to you.
Part 2: Radical Autonomy & Bodily Sovereignty Your body is the ultimate authority on its own experience. In this session, we center your physical and neurological needs, establishing a spiritual baseline that honors your sensory profile. We explore how to adapt mindfulness, meditation, or prayer so that it protects, rather than drains, your nervous system.
Part 3: Disrupting Systems of Harm & Consumption Spirituality should not be a commodity to consume. We will look critically at modern "wellness" and spiritual spaces that exploit or cause harm. Together, we look at how to move away from trendy, consumer-driven tools and instead ground your practice in ancestral, reciprocal, and ethical ways of engaging with the sacred.
Part 4: Uplifting Neurodivergent Mysticism Neurodivergent brains naturally interact with the world through deep hyper-focus, intense pattern recognition, profound empathy, and unique sensory translation. In this session, we actively celebrate these traits as spiritual strengths, reframing your natural ways of being as profound portals for connection and insight.
Part 5: Sacred Interconnection & Lived Action True spirituality bridges the internal world with the collective. Here, we balance theory with action. We explore how your unique spiritual worldview informs your relationship with the earth, your community, and social justice, transforming your personal practice into a sustainable foundation for collective care.
Part 6: Initiating Your Living Practice In our final session, we weave your insights into a flexible, low-demand daily or seasonal rhythm. We solidify a spiritual practice that is uniquely yours, one that adapts to your energy shifts, honors your absolute autonomy, and serves as a true sanctuary for your unmasked self.
Financial investment: $750 | Flexible payment plans available (3 monthly installments of $250).

Yes, though I accept young clients on a case-by-case basis to ensure I have the proper capacity and that our approach is a strong fit for the child's needs.
In these cases, direct sessions with the child are $100 per session, as working with youth involves significant time and care outside our direct meeting, including parent/guardian communication, family alignment, and highly customized sensory and visual tool creation. Additional sessions for parents, teachers, and other adults in that child’s world are billed at the standard $50 per session rate.
