For years, my life was shaped by chronic illness and intense existential struggle, which I now see as a profound gift. Those difficult experiences sent me on a global search for solutions: I studied with shamans, earned a doctorate degree in organizational development and behavior, taught university courses, explored all sorts of wellness modalities, and traveled extensively all in search of deep healing and ways to cultivate lasting well-being.

After all these experiences, I eventually discovered many of my lifelong challenges were deeply rooted in ADHD, neurodivergent thinking, and executive function difficulties. And, after working for nearly a decade with individuals, families, and organizations, it became clear that many of those clients — including high performers, leaders, and teams — shared similar struggles. The more I researched, the more I realized that most of us, regardless of background, intelligence, or capability, can benefit greatly from improving executive function and how we manage our daily lifeway. This realization changed everything.

I came to understand that executive function lies at the heart of how we think, plan, communicate, regulate emotions, build relationships, and pursue meaningful goals. When these skills are underdeveloped or missing, every area of one’s life can suffer. When they are strengthened, it helps create the conditions for greater effectiveness, resilience, and well-being. These insights led me to shift the core focus of my entire coaching and consulting practice, ultimately lead to the creation of Higher Minds. We exist to help people build the strategies, structure, and skills for flourishing.

I believe we all deserve to lead deeply meaningful, wildly enjoyable lives that we truly love. And thanks to my own colorful and circuitous journey, I’ve learned that we must actively create the conditions to flourish by improving executive function, mastering daily life management, and becoming the stewards of our own well-being. This is the work we do at Higher Minds, and we are honored to be a part of your journey.
