my approach to ADHD one-on-one coaching is tailored to each client’s specific needs. to learn more about co-creating a plan that best supports you, please be in touch.
“epi is a true find for anyone drowning in “stuff”!
She has a calming influence on the daunting task of decluttering. There is no judgement. Just methodical plans in order to whittle down. As a person with ADHD, I could never accomplish these tasks alone. To have her calming presence and regular encouragement (dare i say “cheerleading”) while going through all kinds of paperwork is incredibly helpful. All this is done with a light hand, without making me feel like someone is taking over!”

Our homes and our belongings hold our stories. These spaces and the stories they hold shape our lives and dictate how move through the world. In a culture full of presumed rights and wrongs, shame can be a major player in dictating how we see ourselves and our lives.
My approach is not rooted in cleanliness as moral superiority, rather it is about getting ourselves free from the objects and the thoughts that don’t serve us in our aliveness.
If shame or overwhelm exist between you and piles in your home, you don’t have to face it alone! Believe it or not, we can make it fun, or at the very least tolerable, and on other side there is literally so much more room for joy and ease and engagement.
So often, we hold onto things out of obligation, or what if’s, and meanwhile those things sit without being purposed. This is less about taking something away and more about creating space and ease. This is not only an act of self-care, but it is an act of communal generosity - as I have brought countless loads of treasures to Experienced Goods, where these objects can find new life and use - all the while funding the Brattleboro Hospice. There is also the opportunity for resale, and I am happy to help orchestrate sales through marketplace and craigslist to support you in making money back on your goods! As well as dump and recycling runs, there are many ways we will go about making more space for you in your home, and it is all up to you, I am just here to support you with my experience and thoughtful care.

Swedish Death Cleaning or döstädning has been a part of Swedish and Scandanavian cultures for some time, but has risen in popularity since the concept was presented globally by Margareta Magnusson, author of the book “The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning” (2017).
It is not about dusting or mopping, but rather an act of decluttering your home and getting rid of belongings you no longer need. It is an act of self-love and love for those who will remain and be responsible for our belongings after you pass. Death Cleaning is an act of lightening our burden, and allowing what really matters to come to the surface. It is in essence, making room for more aliveness.
Death Cleaning is for everyone, you don’t need to wait until you’re “old” before you start doing it. You can do it any day, because none of us know when we will pass on. What most struggle about with death is the lack of control any of us have over when and how. What we *do have control over is how we live and what we pass on. This is an opportunity to engage with control where we can, and make decisions for ourselves and our loved ones and all of our treasured belongings.

Helping kids keep up with caring for their spaces and belongings is often a major point of contention. Having a caring, creative, and professional teammate (for both parent and child) can make a big difference in helping the child develop these lifelong skills. I have a background in education and I’ve developed lifelong strategies to thrive with my own ADHD; I offer this service to kids and teens who could benefit from kind and attuned support in developing systems to care for their belongings and take pride in their spaces.
