Holistic Coaching for Neurodivergent Adults
I’m Arika Rapson, a neurodivergent coach, holistic herbalist, and educator.
I support autistic, ADHD, AuDHD, and otherwise neurodivergent adults who are exhausted from trying to function in a world that doesn’t match their wiring.
Does This Sound Familiar?
Many people I work with arrive feeling depleted, overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves. You might recognize yourself in some of the following:
- You suspect you’re neurodivergent or received a late diagnosis.
- You’ve spent years masking and are now experiencing burnout or loss of capacity.
- You live with chronic health conditions that commonly overlap with neurodivergence.
- Sensory environments are often draining or overwhelming.
- You want support that works with your nervous system, not against it.
1:1 Neurodivergent Coaching
My work is fully integrated. Coaching, nervous system regulation, and chronic health considerations are not treated as separate issues. They are understood as interconnected.
What We Work On
- Preventing and/or recovering from burnout
- Nervous system regulation
- Supporting sensory needs (hyper, hypo or mixed)
- Recognizing and addressing masking and ableism
- Stressors and how they impact health and wellbeing
Common Neurodivergent Co-Morbidities
- MCAS, chemical sensitivities and other mast cell or allergic issues
- Migraines, GI issues, and sleep disruption
- EDS, POTS and other dysautonomia patterns
- Chronic pain and fatigue
- ADHD, dyslexia, other processing differences
Support is always individualized and paced to your actual capacity.
Professional Background & Approach
I am a neurodivergent coach and holistic herbalist, combining a high level of training with my own lived experience as an autistic woman with multiple co-morbidities. My focus is on identifying and supporting the issues that contribute to living with chronic overwhelm, anxiety, nervous system dysregulation, and eventually burnout. As a formally trained herbalist, I am also able to work holistically with clients on common co-occurring conditions and stressors that may be impacting emotional and physical health.
