Coaching for Neurodivergent Couples & Individuals

You love each other. And you're exhausted. The same argument keeps coming back, nobody feels heard, and you're starting to wonder if this is just how it is. It isn't, and coaching gives you practical tools to work through it, starting now.

"I've lived enough of this to know that the gap between two people isn't always about love. Sometimes it's just about wiring. And that can be worked with."

When two brains work differently, love isn't always enough.

ADHD, autism, and other forms of neurodivergence aren't deficits to overcome, they're a different way of moving through the world. Coaching gives you and your partner practical tools to work with that difference, not against it.

Guidance for What Comes Next

Coaching is practical support for the challenges you're facing right now, as a couple, or as an individual navigating your own neurodivergence. How to communicate differently. How to understand each other's wiring. How to move forward together.

Coaching focuses on your present and future: concrete strategies, action steps, and real-world application. Therapy is where you process the past. Coaching is where you build what comes next.

And because coaching isn't a clinical service, it's available to anyone, anywhere. No licensing restrictions. Wherever you are in the world, we work together over video call.

This isn't advice from the outside. It's real tools, built around your relationship specifically.

Coaching Is For You If…

01

Neurodivergent Couples

You're navigating ADHD + neurotypical, autism + partner, or dual neurodivergent relationships. You love each other but struggle to understand each other's brains, and want to communicate without blame and build systems that work for both.

02

Partners With Cassandra Syndrome

You're experiencing caregiver burnout, emotional disconnection, or feeling unsupported. Coaching helps you name what you're experiencing, set boundaries that hold, and decide what you want moving forward.

03

Individuals Navigating Neurodiversity

You're neurodivergent and want support understanding your brain, managing executive function, or processing your identity in relationships. Late diagnosis welcome.

04

Your relationship is strained. You're disconnected and not sure how to fix it. Coaching gives you expert guidance and real tools to reconnect, rebuild trust, and learn a different approach.

Available Online, Worldwide

All coaching is virtual via video call, no commute, no waiting room, no licensing restrictions. Wherever you are, we work together.

Goal-Oriented Work

Most couples start with 6-8 sessions to see real shifts. When you reach your goals or feel ready to continue on your own, we wrap up.

Maring Higa, neurodivergent relationship coach

I've Lived a Lot of This Myself

I'm a coach, a former acupuncturist of 17 years, a mom of two, and someone who got her own ADHD diagnosis as an adult, which reframed a lot of things. I've been in relationships where the love was real and the connection was hard. I know what that costs.

I bring all of that into coaching. Not as a script, but as someone who genuinely gets it, and who has done enough of her own work to sit with yours without flinching.

I'm not here to fix you or your relationship. I'm here to help you understand what's actually happening, and to walk alongside you while you figure out what comes next.
