About Amanda
Passionate About Inspiring Others
Living in a neurotypical world, I freely admit that ADHD can be a challenge. I live with and successfully manage its symptoms every day. Additionally, I am a wife, daughter, and entrepreneur who has all the life experiences these roles bring.
I've struggled with the symptoms of ADHD my entire life but didn't know what was wrong. Feeling like I had a 'fatal flaw,' I searched for answers for years until I was finally diagnosed with ADHD in adulthood. Getting that diagnosis was both happy and a huge relief.
Labelling my ADHD and learning about the diagnostic features helped me understand the unique "instructions" that my brain needs to succeed. Through hyperfocused investigation and trial and error, I began to learn what ADHD looks like for me. I can now help other people with ADHD do the same.
Harnessing and leveraging my ADHD was and still is empowering. It has helped me excel in both Master of ceremony and academics. My ADHD's resilience, hyperactivity and excessive talking helped me win the very first Hong Kong Masters of Ceremony Competition Champion and start a related business. After being diagnosed and treated for my ADHD, I made my brain operate at its fullest potential and completed a Master of Science by self-study.
I have been interested in ADHD's "unique" brain for a while now. I studied neuroscience and became a certified ADHD coach so that I could understand it better. I want to help people with ADHD, so I also tried to apply that knowledge by working with brains like ours directly.
Now I help adults who are passionate to manage their ADHD and get successful shorter. My clients become empowered to bring about the changes they have always hoped for so they can be clear, confident, productive, and happy.
