About Ellie

Hi, I'm Ellie.
I've been where you are.

I'm a certified life coach, AuADHD, and in perimenopause. For years I felt crazy, exhausted and alone. Now I help women find the answers I wish I'd found sooner.

My story, the short version

The girl who pushed through
From childhood, I was told what I felt was normal. Hormone problems from age 11. Sensory overload. Always a bit different. So I pushed through. For decades.
The crash
In 2019 I was running my own business and working on the side. One day the rumble strip woke me up. I'd fallen asleep at the wheel. Soon after, my body made me stop.
The wrong answers
Fibromyalgia. Chronic fatigue. Antidepressants that made me feel worse. Doctors kept telling me it was normal. It wasn't.
The videos that changed everything
A video about ADHD in women and a reel about menopause. OMG, that's me. I went looking for answers, and found practitioners who finally listened.
The answers
ADHD. Autism. Perimenopause. Later, C‑PTSD. None of it was separate. Once I understood my brain and my body, everything made sense.
Now
I sleep seven to nine hours instead of two or three. I've stopped pushing through until I crash. I'm letting the real me show. And I've written it all down, so you don't have to work it out alone.

How I coach

No judgement. Just someone who gets it.

I listen first

You talk. I ask questions. Nothing gets fixed until I understand what's really going on.

I share what I've lived

With your permission, I bring in my own story, so you know you're not the only one.

We name the pattern

We look at why it keeps happening, and the beliefs you were handed that might not be true.

You leave with a next step

One small, practical thing that fits your brain and your body.

I'm a certified life coach, not a doctor. I'll help you understand what's going on and advocate for yourself with your practitioners.

Outside of coaching

Pets, places and photos

Since losing my soul dog Monty, I've been house and pet sitting all over WA. It lets me travel, work from anywhere and explore new places on a budget.

I love hiking and exploring the South West. There's so much in such a small space. And I'm always learning something new.

Photography is my biggest passion. When I travel, I take photos and sell them on stock photo sites.

My memoir, Everything I Know About Love, I Learned From My Soul Dog Monty, is coming soon.
