Speaker Bio (200 words)
Evelyn is a coach and peer support specialist who believes growth happens through collaboration, compassion, and shared human experience. Living with chronic illness and ADHD herself, she understands the exhaustion, unpredictability, and emotional labor that often come with self-advocacy and navigating complex systems.

In her work through Brave Spaces Coaching, Evelyn supports both individuals and couples navigating ADHD, neurodivergence, chronic illness, and chronic pain. She helps clients make sense of what their bodies are doing, how they feel about it, and how to create practical, sustainable systems that align with their values and daily realities.

Her approach is collaborative, trauma-informed, and infused with curiosity and humor. Known for her pattern recognition and inventive problem-solving, Evelyn blends evidence-based tools with lived experience to help clients reimagine how they organize their lives, approach appointments with less dread, and care for their relationships when everyone’s running on empty.

Brave Spaces Coaching offers an alternative to the "push harder" mindset—creating non-clinical, human-centered spaces where people can show up unmasked, be truly seen, and build lives that work with their unique wiring instead of against it. Evelyn’s mission is to foster the kind of safety and clarity that make real, lasting change possible.
