ABOUT NATHALIE
Doesn't it feel great when someone truly "gets you"?
They appreciate that your head is full of ideas and you are a creative individual.
They get where your thought process is going and you don't need to explain why.

Nathalie wants to live in a world where highly creative individuals and divergent thinkers (including those with ADHD) are recognized as geniuses, where asking questions and challenging the status quo is a good thing and where nature is respected and appreciated.
With over 25 years organizing people, events and places, she’s been a featured speaker at leading international conferences training other Professional Organizers at NAPO, Coaches at the International ADHD Conference (hosted by CHADD, ADDA & ACO) or Health Care Practitioners at CADDRA, on how organization helps people with ADHD live a less chaotic, less stressful and more productive life. She's currently working on becoming Canada's first Certified ADHD Organizer Coach (CAOC).
When she’s not rescuing another creative entrepreneur’s office from mayhem or saving a neurologically diverse couple from divorce, you can find Nathalie learning the flags and capitals of the world, indulging in the latest sci-fi fantasy TV series or weeding and pruning in her garden.
I'VE WALKED IN YOUR SHOES.
10 years ago, I noticed my child's grades had been slipping over the past couple of years. The school told me it was "low self-esteem and lack of motivation". I refused to accept this as an explanation so I had my child tested by a professional. Diagnosis: ADHD.
Like a good mom, I did my research only to realize that:
-
I did not speak fast and using my hands because of my Italian heritage…
-
I did not get impatient waiting in lines because I had a bad temper…
-
I did not interrupt people because of a bad habit…
-
I wasn't often late because I didn’t care…
It was because I had ADHD!
GOODBYE CHAOS. HELLO CALM, EASE, & RELIEF!
Many products or activities have been promoted to help ease the symptoms of ADHD: regular exercise, meditation, medication, essential oils & nutrition. However, most ADHD experts agree that personal organization is one of the single most determining factors in whether or not someone with ADHD lives a productive and happy life. As they say: “Pills don’t teach skills.”
I help creative individuals like you with:
-
optimizing your space so you can find your things quickly & work more efficiently.
-
creating an energizing work space that inspires you to work.
-
using your time more effectively so you get more done in a day.
-
simplifying your daily family management & those sanity killing “rush hours”.
-
planning and making healthy meals.
-
clearing out that “dump & run” room (which sadly is often is your home office).
-
tackling those piles of paperwork.
-
streamlining your recurring tasks so you have less to remember.
-
improving your ability to reach your goals.
-
learning how to self-advocate.
-
communicating better with your spouse and co-workers.
-
working smarter, not harder.
