Life raising a child with Down Syndrome, Autism or ADHD is exhausting. I know because my son has all three.

You no longer have to do it alone.

You love your child more than anything, but some days feel like pure survival mode.
Here, you don’t have to hide that truth. This is a space where you’ll find support, validation, tools, and connection from someone who is living the same life.

You don’t need to earn rest. You don’t need permission to care for yourself. You are allowed to take up space, mama, even when life is hard.

A Special Needs Mom with her son who has Down Syndrome Autism & ADHD

I’m a certified life coach and fellow special needs mom to my amazing son Derek who has Down syndrome, Autism, and ADHD. I like to call him my triple threat 🙃

I know what it feels like to live in fight or flight mode 24/7, juggling therapies, navigating meltdowns, advocating at school, and carrying the kind of exhaustion that never seems to let up. I know what it’s like to pour every ounce of yourself into your child and still feel like you’re falling short.

Through compassionate coaching, powerful mindset tools, and emotional support, I help special needs moms like us feel grounded, clear, and full again. Especially on the days where you feel like you want to run away and never come back.

We don’t wait for the chaos to calm down. We learn to rise within it. Because let’s be real. It may never calm down and we may never have an empty nest.

That’s exactly why I created this space: to give moms like us a place to exhale. To feel seen, supported and validated. To finally see that you actually aren’t alone in the guilt you feel. To find real tools and strategies that fit into this life not some picture perfect version of motherhood.

You don’t have to keep pushing through alone anymore. 💜

— Jessica, special needs mom of 2

Amy makes me feel like I’m not broken. That I’m not a bad mom — I’m just exhausted. Her voice is the one I didn’t know I needed.”
