Lynn is a certified graduate of the ADD Coach Academy (ADDCA), successfully completing all of ADDCA’s coursework and in 2017 was among the first 16 coaches in the world to complete ADDCA’s inaugural course, Fundamentals of ADHD Coaching for Families. Lynn trained as a Relax Kids coach to include mindfulness into her coaching repertoire.

She consults frequently with schools and provides input for IEPs and 504 plans for students with ADHD, as well as classroom accommodations.

As a coach, her great insight and intuition help guide her understanding of you during the coaching process. Her teaching background helps her understand how people think, their strengths and how to enhance their deficits. She also understands the difficulties teachers face in managing their own lives. She tremendously enjoys working with individuals and couples facing life changes or challenges. She understands first hand the impact a disability can have on family members. She promises you, her fullest attention, resources and personal connection.

Her first hand experiences with ADHD in her family coupled with her classroom teaching, created the perfect combination to become an insightful, knowledgeable coach.

  • Adults who wish to take their lives and careers to the next level.
  • Educators who desire to understand how ADHD impacts both them and their students, gaining strategies and a new understanding of how the ADHD brain works.

  • Adults diagnosed later in life, navigating life transitions and self- acceptance.
