"Danelle has been a critical lifeline to managing ADHD's challenges, not only for my daughter but for me."

"As a parent of an ADHD teen that was diagnosed late, I can say with all honesty that Danelle has been a critical lifeline to managing ADHD's challenges, not only for my daughter but for me. My daughter identified as gifted at eight years old, and diagnosed with ADHD at 15. She had excelled and was on her school's honor roll every year until eighth grade when suddenly, she was failing nearly every subject. After a year and a half of trying various medications and spending thousands on tutors and doctors that produced little results, I was at the end of the line with no options left. As someone that considers no obstacle too challenging, this was one of the lowest times I've experienced as a parent. My neighbor found me lost in grief and suggested a life coach for my daughter and Danelle was the first coach I called. Danelle agreed to start coaching immediately and within three months, my daughter's grades shot from failing to As and Bs; it was truly impressive. Danelle applies a personal approach, building trust while working with my daughter on her executive functioning challenges. They've gotten to know each other very well and this, coupled with Danelle's ADHD expertise, has substantially improved my daughter's skills steadily month by month. Besides the assistance Danelle provides my daughter, she is also a strong foundation for me, a parent who came to this with little understanding of what my ADHD child needs. Her wealth of knowledge is of considerable help in determining what more I can do to help my daughter succeed in these especially important high school years. I could not be more pleased with the results Danelle has provided - my daughter is excelling in every single one of her classes again, many of them IB level, and the future is again full of promise. I highly recommend Danelle's coaching to anyone that wants to see solid and meaningful results, it has changed our lives immensely."

"Danelle helped me learn many things that make a big difference in my everyday life - both in school and out."

"Before working with Danelle I didn’t realize how many of my everyday struggles could be attributed to having ADHD. Danelle helped me learn many things that make a big difference in my everyday life - both in school and out. I learned how to organize study plans and stick to them. That was a big one. Another way Danelle has helped me is by encouraging me to find different learning techniques that work for me. She shared that everybody has their own way of learning and just because my way of learning is different from other students’, it doesn’t make me less smart. Danelle also coached me on replacing my negative thoughts with positivity. I can now have a bad day and instead of jumping to the negative and letting it derail me, I can point out the positive and believe myself when I say it. She has helped me recognize my strengths and use them to move forward. I couldn’t ask for a better coach."
