The PRIMED™ Difference
PRIMED six-pillar mind-body system for thriving with ADHD
PRIMED™ helps identify what’s draining your energy or throwing your system out of balance. It helps you get your shit together when you’re spiralling.
We don’t start with “fixing” your productivity. We start with you.
Each letter in PRIMED™ stands for one of the six areas we evaluate and adjust.
P – Physical Exercise
ADHD brains need movement to function well. This doesn’t mean hardcore workouts; it can be as simple as stretching, walking, or dancing in your kitchen. The goal is to incorporate daily movement that enhances focus and stabilizes mood.
R – Routine
Creating predictable patterns reduces mental clutter and decision fatigue. However, rigid schedules often backfire for those with ADHD, so you and I develop a flexible structure—something that supports you without confining you.
I – Intake
Food, hydration, supplements, caffeine—what you take in affects your brain's performance. And no, fat isn’t bad. Your brain needs healthy fat to function. Together, we look at how to fuel yourself in a way that supports focus and energy.
M – Mental State
Your thoughts shape your reality. Stress, shame, and overstimulation make everything harder. We (you and I) use tools like coaching, mindfulness, journaling, and nervous system regulation to shift your thoughts and emotions.
E – Environment
Your space impacts your brain. Your environment can support or sabotage your focus, whether it’s visual clutter, sound sensitivity, or tech distractions. We adjust it to work with you.
D – Downtime
Rest isn’t optional. ADHD brains burn through energy quickly, and without recovery time, you crash. We incorporate guilt-free rest so you can recharge and perform at your best.
Why it works
This isn’t just a coaching framework; it’s a recovery system and a permission slip, a better way to navigate a world that wasn’t designed for your brain. Unlike traditional methods, this is not a one-size-fits-all approach; rather, it serves as a lens through which to view your unique challenges.
Many people try to address ADHD challenges by focusing on productivity. But productivity is the outcome, not the starting point.
By assessing and adjusting these six key areas, you stop spinning and start feeling grounded. Instead of trying to fit yourself into productivity systems that don't accommodate your needs, you can begin to create a life that genuinely supports the way your brain works.
Many of my clients tell me (and I’m paraphrasing), “I didn’t realize how off I was until I looked at each area on its own.”
International Coaching Federation informed
I follow the International Coaching Federation's framework, which defines the essential skills and behaviours required for professional coaching. These include (among others) active listening, facilitating your insights and growth, and encouraging you to reflect. I will validate what needs to be validated and I will hold you accountable. I will be your partner.
