Hi, I'm Vivian (she/her), founder of Tuesday Coaching

I work with neurodivergent adults who are thoughtful and capable yet still find daily life harder than it should be.

What they’re missing is not insight, but a clear way to respond when specific patterns show up in real life.

Tuesday Coaching philosophy

My philosophy is simple: We are people before we are pathologies. Labels can offer clarity, but they are tools to use, not definitions to contain us.

This belief is reflected in the name itself. Tuesday is often considered the most productive day of the week. When energy increases and momentum builds. The day after orientation and scattering, when things settle into more clarity.

But your "Tuesday" might not fall on a specific calendar day. It might come after a creative burst, a quiet moment of insight, or when everything you’ve been working toward clicks together.

My role is to help you recognize your own Tuesday and co-create a life that moves with you, not against you.

Who I work with

This work is most effective for people who share a few key traits:

• Reflective: You’ve done serious reflection, and may have built up some good habits but you're hitting the same walls now.

• Capable in one domain, struggling in others: you might excel at work while your home is chaos. Or maybe your friendships are great but your romantic relationships are rocky at best. You want integration, not just isolated wins.

• Looking for systems, not willpower: you're done with advice that assumes you just need to try harder. You need sustainable solutions that honor how you actually function.

We work together with the understanding that you do not need to be fixed. The goal is to return to your true self, and then let that clarity guide what comes next.

I also work with partners, family members, and colleagues of neurodivergent adults who want to create more supportive, neurodivergent-affirming relationships and environments. Neurodivergence doesn't exist in isolation. It shapes households, partnerships, and workplaces.

My approach is neurodivergent-affirming and somatic-leaning

Many neurodivergent adults understand their patterns cognitively. They’ve analyzed, researched, and reflected deeply. But when everything stays in the head, signals get overridden until overwhelm, shutdown, or burnout forces a stop.

Why the body matters

I believe our bodies hold the wisdom we need to come home to ourselves. How we sense, react, and move offers powerful clues to our well-being. In my 30s, a series of traumatic events changed how I related to my body. My nervous system stopped letting me move through the world on autopilot, and I could no longer push through by intellect alone.

I had to learn to listen to my body to function. Through somatic awareness, I learned how to track safety, capacity, and limits in real time. I began navigating life by what my body signaled was possible, not by what I thought I should be able to do.

That experience shapes how I work with clients. I integrate somatic awareness with research-based strategies for managing neurodivergent burnout. Many people know what they think, but struggle to access what they feel. When I ask, 'How does this feel in your body?' and it doesn't make sense yet, I understand why. Somatic awareness is a skill that can be learned. It matters especially for neurodivergent people, whose bodies often carry information long before language catches up.
