What Is ADHD Coaching?
ADHD Coaching is life coaching that is sensitive to, and takes into account, the framework of neurodivergence. ADHD Coaches help ADHD-impacted clients understand how to work with their brain, navigate around challenges related to organization, relationships, mood management, and motivation in order to find their passion and follow through on their goals.
Working with a coach requires partnership; an ADHD Coach is not your boss or an expert – YOU are the expert of your life. Your coach is there to support you as you find the solutions and outcomes that work for you, to help keep you focused and motivated, and to help you wonder and find possibility, even in challenges.
You’ve got it in you, you just need a little help taking the first steps.

Group Coaching
Group Coaching is anaffordable alternative to 1:1 coaching!
Aside from helping clients master their ADHD and achieve goals, many clients find that group coaching gives them the unintended benefit of validation and connection by being in community with other adults who understand their lived experience.

THE ADHD BOOTCAMP - FALL 2023 - $350 USD
Are you swimming in clutter? Overwhelmed by the prospect of getting organized? ADHD strategies and tips are great, but often in order to implement them you have to be starting from a place of basic organization. How can you remember to check your planner if you can’t even find it?! The ADHD Bootcamp is a 6-session organizing blitz led by master-certified ADHD Coach Dusty Chipura. Over the course of 4 weekends, you’ll do 8-hour “body doubling” sessions with Dusty and the other participants to get your physical space, paperwork and life “reset” and organized! While the focus of the Bootcamp is doing rather than learning, Dusty will be talking with participants as you work about good ADHD management. However, if you are wanting to learn the skills to manage your ADHD, start with Rock Your ADHD first!
Comes with 6 months free access to the ADHD Studio!

Parenting With ADHD Ain’t Easy!

I have chosen to mostly use the terms ‘mom’
Testimonials
“It’s so easy to say something is a “life changer”. Cronuts are a life-changer, priority boarding is a life-changer. But Dusty and her ADHD coaching group are genuinely life changing. Dusty does an amazing job digging deep into the excuses we all make for ourselves. Not just the “why don’t you get this done” excuses but also the “why do you doubt your own brilliance excuses”.

Kristy’s kindness, compassion and creatively is always a job to work with. I always leave feeling more grounded and empowered. I’d highly recommend working with her.”

Not only did she coach me in staying on task in the months leading up to the wedding, she also helped me come up with a plan to ensure that I was present on the day of. My ADHD often causes overstimulation, which can lead to me rushing through and barely remembering a day and my big fear was having that happen on my wedding day.
