Hi, I'm Adi.
I've helped 100s of humans become confident changemakers and compassionate action-takers in their lives and in the world.
I've been there, too.
Before I burned out, I was teaching 10-15 yoga classes per week, co-managing a yoga studio and doing my damndest to look like the perfect mom.
I tried to look like I had it all, by doing it all.
The whole time, I was waiting for the impostor police, the day I'd be "found out" and everything I worked for, taken away.
It was overwhelming and paralyzing at the same time: I'd show up, but always looking over my shoulder, waiting to make that final mistake that would reveal just how imperfect I was.
But I was waiting, too, to feel something. For it to all mean something.
Where it all began...
A 5-year old & a 3-year old, teaching & managing full time, sooooo busy with no time to think.
Exhausted, moody, angry, resentful. Yelling at my kids, snapping at my spouse...
But of course I could do it all! I had to, otherwise what kind of feminist was I?
Life was really hard. But it looked perfect from the outside!
Burnout & a breakdown forced me to slow down & re-evaluate.
I thought that if I ran fast enough and worked hard enough, anxiety & depression couldn't catch me.
My son was diagnosed with ASD and ADHD at age 6.
He was struggling, and I had to learn to help him. Get to know him. Meet him exactly where he was.
Which meant I had to get to know myself, learn to help myself, meet myself exactly where I was.
To show up for him authentically with integrity, compassion, and unconditional love every day.
Time for deep re-evaluation.
Who was I:
As a mom?
A feminist?
A human?
What about my ambition?
What do I stand for? Care about? Value?
What makes my life meaningful? What legacy am I leaving?
2020:
Life coach training during a global pandemic punctuated by social justice protests and racism-motivated police violence while homeschooling small children.
Intense catalyst.
I was introduced to Human Design and learned I'm a Projector, here to guide and teach. I felt seen, validated & understood in a way I'd always craved: Who I know myself to be is who I'm meant to be.
Now:
I work full-time as a mental health coach, yoga teacher & full-time mom to my 2 neuro-spicy kiddos and partner to my neuro-spicy husband
I'm strong, resilient and joyful (most of the time).
I'm confident the choices I make are the right choices right now.
I don't believe in "mistakes" or "failure" -- only in opportunities to learn.
Like every relationship, your relationship with yourself needs support. Like watering a garden and watching it grow.

Testimonial:
"I have always been afraid to speak my mind, worried about how it would be received. Adi is the first coach I've worked with in which that fear was dissolved immediately. She has the gift of seeing right through to the heart of the matter, not only pinpointing where I'm stuck but reflecting back the worth, power, and wisdom I already possess so I can use it to get myself moving forward again...She has reminded me that I'm worth investing in myself and has continually guided me into fully embodying my highest self."
