About
Oak & Hive Consulting was born out of a deeply personal journey. As a parent of an autistic child, I found myself overwhelmed and alone in the early stages of diagnosis, navigating a sea of information without a clear guide. I realized there was a gap—a bridge needed for families like mine who are looking for neuro-affirming support, understanding, and a community that embraces their child’s differences. What started as a search for answers turned into a passion for creating a space where parents feel seen, supported, and empowered. Oak represents the strength and stability we offer, while the Hive symbolizes the collective power of community. Together, we help families build strong, neuro-affirming pathways, making sure no one has to navigate this journey alone.
Guidance not just information
Navigating the Post-Diagnosis Journey Shouldn’t Feel This Hard
When your child is diagnosed as autistic, you’re suddenly handed a long list of therapies, specialists, and next steps—but no one tells you how to actually put it all together. You’re left scrambling, making endless phone calls, filling out mountains of paperwork, and second-guessing every decision.
I get it. Because I lived it.
You Don’t Have to Navigate This Alone
Navigating the post-diagnosis journey can feel overwhelming, like trying to plan a trip to somewhere you've never been. There are endless options, countless decisions, and so much uncertainty about what’s actually the right fit for your family. I’ve been there, and I know how confusing and exhausting it can be. That’s why I’m here—to guide you through the noise, help you find what works best for your child, and create a clear and manageable plan.
Facebook groups and Google can give you information, but they can’t provide the understanding or clarity you need. They don’t know your child, your family, or the unique nuances of your journey. I do. I don’t just hand you a list of resources—I help you make sense of them.
With over a decade of experience in coaching, I guide you through the overwhelm, help you build a plan tailored to your child’s needs, and provide the tools and confidence to advocate for them. My work goes beyond connecting you with therapists or schools—it’s about empowering you in this process, ensuring you have a clear path forward, and supporting you in making decisions that feel right for your family.
