There are all sorts of ways
to navigate life with a brain
that works a little differently.

Let’s find the way that works best for you.

You’re smart and creative and successful and you’re good at a lot of things. And you know your brain works differently. You’ve watched others sail through ordinary tasks that trip you up regularly!

You’ve thumbed through the books, listened to the podcasts, or sat in on webinars about how ADHD brains work, and while a lot of that stuff has been useful, you’re at a point where it’s simply not enough. There are still a lot of things that present challenges for you.

You have so many ideas, and want to make the best ones happen.

You’ve got lots of projects, and need better ways of visualizing your time.

You need more structure for creativity and passion projects, so there’s space in your days and weeks for what feeds your soul.

The paperwork, deadlines, and expectations of your work are driving you bananas, and you know there’s got to be a better way (even though you haven’t found it yet).

Hi, I’m Anne Marie Nantais.

I collaborate with smart professionals, helping them find their own creative ways of successfully navigating their ADHD.

The people who benefit most from partnering with me are highly creative, visual, and resilient. I work with my clients to hone how they use specific ADHD strategies, tools, and techniques.

Together, we’ll take a strengths-based approach. We’ll look at your unique ways of doing and being. We’ll consider your goals and ambitions. We’ll look at what’s been a challenge. And then? We’ll collaborate—considering, creating, and experimenting together—to come up with novel ways to use your strengths to handle your challenges.

And then, you’ll experiment some more. You’ll try out a new way of doing things. And you’ll notice what works (and how it feels). Together, we’ll finesse it until you feel like the king or queen of the universe. Then, we’ll work on the next thing. Before long, you’ll notice that you’re having a different experience. And the things that used to trip you up will be easy as pie. Because you’ll know what works for you.

How
can I
help
you?

If the idea of working together intrigues you, the first step is to have a conversation. You can tell me what’s going on, and if we’re a fit to work together, great! We can talk about that, too.

LET'S TALK

You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.

Anne Marie is warm, reassuring, and accessible.

Anne Marie is warm, reassuring, and accessible. She is a really excellent listener… such a good listener in fact, that she will rewind our conversation to pull out something I’ve expressed, such as a perception or feeling- sometimes without realizing the significance of it- to pause over and explore a bit for deeper insight. She believes in taking the time to assess your personal values in order to help you align your actions to those which matter to you most. She has many tools in her back pocket from her training but is also great at spontaneously generating totally new and creative solutions to try.

She helps me see what pieces are missing

Anne Marie has been so much more than a coach. Slowly but surely she is helping me put all my puzzle pieces together. She helps me determine what I want my big picture to be, what brings joy to my heart and makes me come alive. She helps me see what pieces are missing, which ones are lost – and through a process of experimentation – how they all fit together to support who I am as I am. Her intuition and true tender loving care are parallel to none and sure to give the space to allow the masterpiece that is each of us to unfold.

Her coaching has really helped me find myself again.

Anne Marie was great to work with. She made me feel comfortable and was very easy to open up to. She brought a great amount of perspective and helped me channel my energy in a more positive way. Her coaching has really helped me find myself again.

Her coaching is tailored to you as a unique individual…

Anne Marie is practical, compassionate, creative, and intuitive. She has fantastic insight and will truly tailor her coaching to you as a unique individual. Anne Marie worked with me to develop practical strategies as well as to un-learn some of the negative coping mechanisms and thought processes that had accumulated over the years. If you are looking for positive, warm, and exceptionally effective coaching, I cannot recommend Anne Marie highly enough.

Anne Marie helped me establish a better work/life balance

Our coaching to prioritize a better work/life balance was very valuable. Over time, I was able to align my work schedule with my values for quality-of-life. We did a great deal of work on structuring work/life activities to suit my needs better, developing better accountability, all while making time for vacations and unstructured time. I was very impressed with her clarity and thoughtfulness, and organized, systematic, strengths-based approach. Anne Marie structured each session so we not only covered a lot of specific ground but always had time to review and highlight a few take-away points.
