Lorna McInnes

Hi, Lorna here.

 

My passion is in helping women and children to become healthier, happier and kicking their developmental, educational, independence, health & wellbeing or personal life goals through counselling, life coaching and wellbeing.

 

My forte is in supporting others with ASD, ADHD, anxiety, MTHFR, digestive disorders, allergy, intolerance, thyroid and auto immune challenges.

 

On my own colourful journey I have learned and experienced first hand how inter-related these disorders are, the influence nutrition, gut health and toxins have on them and the overwhelm that can occur without the guidance and support of a practitioner who "gets it".

Yes, I also have had my own challenges living with my ASD and ADHD and I strongly believe in the importance of individualised early intervention plans to include connection, nutrition, self awareness, practical strategies and support for each unique child, individual and family to move forward, feel empowered and improve their lives.

 

My mission is to help women and children decrease their toxic load and increase their nutrition, to cleanse and nourish their body and brain, and to help them learn new life skills and reach new goals, one step at a time.

I do understand the many challenges and strengths of being a child or woman with ASD/ ADHD, chronic anxiety and trauma, how confusing and soul destroying it can be and how exhausting it is to continually mask and fit in, when we cant even get our basic needs in order. Yes,  "high functioning" can be a very contradictory and painful label to stand up to. Sometimes it's just plain insulting, especially when it comes to getting support or even a diagnosis. I feel very strongly about advocating for us so called  " high functioners" and have decided to restructure my business to share exactly what works for myself and my previous  clients, especially since there is very limited funding, never mind understanding or knowledge to support our needs. I always explain it to people as having a full time job to do, before we even get to work or school. 

I had no support really growing up in Scotland and luckily my path from age 6 when I knew I was "different" led me on a never ending journey of gathering information, working on being a good person and Im very grateful that it led me to " now". I truly believe that, given the right strategies and supports, everyone can improve their life.  If I did it, so can you my friend.
