Parenting a Neurodivergent Child in Burnout Is Overwhelming

You don’t have to do it alone…

You’re holding a lot right now.
The meltdowns, the shutdowns, the silent withdrawals.

The school calls, the sleep struggles, the sadness you can’t quite name.

The aching question that never seems resolved: “Am I doing enough? Am I doing it right?”

You’ve found your way here, and that’s no small thing.

This space was created for you.
For the parent who feels overwhelmed, isolated, and unsure.
For the one searching for real answers, gentle guidance, and a way forward that honours your child’s neurodivergence and your own nervous system.

We do things differently here.
I meet you where you are and we walk together through the messy middle, grounding ourselves in nervous system safety, low-demand parenting, self-compassion and community.

You can expect gentle, neuro-affirming support for you and your child, without pressure, shame, or overwhelm.
“Tanya is and does exactly what she claims. Compassionate guidance, support, understanding, empathy, and more. She coached us through some of the toughest challenges we’ve faced with our teen, and we’re all better for it. Highly recommended; if any of what you read on her website resonates with you, contact her.”

Parenting a neurodivergent child in burnout is hard. It can feel like you’re failing them and yourself.

But you don’t have to do it alone, and you don’t have to sacrifice your relationship with them (or yourself) to survive this. My approach is gentle, neuro-affirming, and realistic—because I know you’re already doing your best.
