Associate Coach

Hello! I am excited to be an Associate coach for Kelly Baums ADHD Coaching.

I believe that coaching is such a powerful way to build momentum and take action in our lives! “Impossible change” is actually possible!

I started my coaching journey after years of being a working mom, tolerating 50 hour weeks at a ‘golden-handcuff’ job – one that had great parts but really frustrating parts – bureaucracy, lack of vision, solutions that didn’t serve everyone, and inflexibility. My soul was getting sucked dry and I had to make a change, but how!?! I had worked as a mental health counselor, academic advisor, mid-level leader, and career coach in a variety of settings and yet found myself really feeling trapped in my own mid-career options. Coaching became both the means for personal change and a way to use all of my past experience to help others in even more powerful ways than a single role could ever do.

I completed my coaching training at CoActive Training Institute and became a ICF certified coach. In addition, I have added additional coach training in areas like parenting, neurodiversity, trauma, leadership, employee wellbeing, and career strategy that I utilize throughout my coaching practice. Besides my work with Kelly Baums ADHD Coaching, I also support employers with workplace wellbeing and visioning as well as mid-career women who are wanting to find more peace, calm, and confidence despite the endless juggle of work, life, and parenting.

As for me personally, I am a person with ADHD, with the added mystery of being in the perimenopause season of life. I use she/her pronouns, am a parent of two daughters, Willa (15) and Sylvie (10) and have been married to my husband, Josh, for almost 25 years. I live in Michigan, wistfully waiting for the sunny months between March and November!

Hey there! I’m Liz, and I’m thrilled to be a part of your ADHD journey. As a certified Life and ADHD Coach, I love helping neurodiverse individuals discover the tools, mindset shifts, and confidence to make like feel more like a joyful adventure rather than an uphill battle.

It wasn’t always smooth sailing for me. From the outside, everything looked picture-perfect, I had collected multiple masters degrees and had a decade long career in cancer research. But behind the scenes? I was totally wrestling with the daily chaos of disorganization, overwhelming to-do lists, and that sneaky perfectionism that just wouldn’t quit.

Despite reading every book on productivity, trying every new system, and trying every productivity hack under the sun (not to mention becoming a life coach!), something just wasn’t clicking.

Then came my “aha!” moment – an unexpected ADHD diagnosis in March 2020. Finally, the puzzle pieces started falling into place! While the world was pressing pause, I dove headfirst into learning everything I could about ADHD and its impact on my daily life.

I learned to work with my brain to create sustainable strategies and systems that actually work. Now I’ve got systems that actually stick, more free time than ever, and a life that makes me smile every single day. That’s why I became an ADHD coach — to help you shed the shame that often comes with ADHD, and work with your unique brain rather than against it.

Outside of coaching, you’ll find me soaking up sunshine and salt water, geeking out over the latest ADHD research, flowing through yoga poses, exploring new places, playing with my Notion setup (because who doesn’t love a good system?), or adventuring with my energetic sidekick, Luna! 🐾

Associate Coach

Hi lovely people, I’m Ying, a first-generation Asian immigrant woman with a late ADHD diagnosis. Having worked with hundreds of clients, my approach centers on helping you achieve more by doing less – through prioritizing what matters, making progress with good enough steps, and growing through tiny experiments. Some of the ways my past clients have described my coaching style: resourceful, empathetic, compassionate, and integrating knowledge & tools across domains.

The question of how people live happy, meaning-driven lives has fascinated me for as long as I can remember – leading me to meditate for over 7 years, try countless evidence-based strategies, and eventually discover my own ADHD at age 26.

My coaching blends strength-based strategies with science-backed approaches and lived experience. While I’ll offer tools and insights, YOU decide what resonates, what to experiment with, and how to craft a life that feels authentically yours.

Together, we’ll honor your natural energy patterns, envision success that feels meaningful to you, and celebrate progress that actually sticks. Within a safe, judgment-free space guided by gentle curiosity, we’ll explore what’s working, what needs adjustment, and how to build the fulfilling life your beautiful brain deserves.

Before ADHD coaching, I worked at a mindfulness startup, completed Positive Psychology training through University of Pennsylvania, and became a certified meditation teacher through a two-year program with Jack Kornfield and Tara Brach.

When I’m not coaching or leading meditation, you’ll find me baking bread (kneading is totally meditation!), hiking in nature with my partner and our pup Jade, dancing to reset my nervous system, or having layered conversations with close friends.

Associate Coach

Hi, I’m Saskia, joining the team from Amsterdam, the Netherlands. I’m so grateful that -thanks to the wonders of the internet and remote working- I can work with people all over the planet!

Like many with ADHD I have a colourful work background. I have a background in Media Studies, Video Production, Learning Design, Change Management and last but not least: Strengths-Based Life Coaching. After getting my own diagnosis in my late thirties and benefitting SO much from Neurodiversity-informed coaching I decided to specialize in working with neurodivergent people, mostly ADHD & AuDHD. College age, mid career or elderly, I like working with all adults that feel they can benefit from coaching support and are willing to put in the work of self discovery and experimentation that coaching takes.

Outside of this I am also a mom (of a very Neurodiverse family), a wife, a lifelong learner, and a volunteer at the Neurodiversity Foundation, co-founding their educational arm: the Neurodiversity Education Academy.

I adore learning new things, interacting in communities of practice (like the ADHD coaches organization), and collaborating with people who have similar interests and values, especially when it comes to co-creating a more neurodiversity-friendly future that can lift up the next generations into solving the problems of the future together.

In coaching, I like to focus on client needs, strengths, values, and co-designing personal strategies with the client. I’m trained in several evidence-based coaching techniques as well some more creative, strengths-based ones. I’ve learned there are many common threads and potentially helpful strategies, but the best coaching is often tailor made for YOU. Which also keeps it so interesting for an ADHD brain to do!

Associate Coach

I have over 15 years of experience in psychology, mental health, counseling, and coaching. For the past five years, I’ve focused specifically on working with ADHD and neurodivergent individuals. I utilize an eclectic coaching approach with clients pulling from positive psychology, CBT, Solution-Focused, and ACT. I’m passionate about creating a supportive space where clients can explore how ADHD uniquely shows up in their lives, while building tools to thrive with more clarity, compassion, and confidence.

Like many with ADHD, I wear many hats. I’m a licensed mental health and marriage and family therapist, and I also serve as a wellness director for Google and YouTube, supporting the well-being of employees in content moderation roles. These experiences have deepened my understanding of stress, emotional regulation, and focus, especially in fast-paced or high-demand environments.

I enjoy working with clients on executive functioning, self-compassion, confidence, mindfulness, parenting, anxiety, motivation, and focus. I also enjoy supporting entrepreneurs and professionals as they navigate the complexities of life and work. My approach is grounded, collaborative, and strengths-based, with an emphasis on wellbeing and self-care. Whether you’re building routines, learning to pause, or navigating change, I’m here to support you or anything ADHD you’d like information on or would like to talk about more. I’m here to help you find the systems and strategies that work best for your brain.

Some of the things that help me manage my own ADHD include digital systems like Google Calendar, alarms and reminders, whiteboards, getting outside, exercise, and connecting with friends and meeting new people. When I’m not working, I’m coaching youth basketball and football, spending time with family, traveling, and I’m a big foodie, so I’m always trying new restaurants.
