About Octopus Coaching

At Octopus Coaching, we know what it feels like to be diagnosed with ADHD or AuDHD as an adult and left without the tools to navigate a neurotypical world.That’s why we offer support for neurodiverse adults who want strategies and systems tailored to their own ways of thinking and being.Our mission is to shift the narrative: your brain isn’t broken — you were just never taught how to tap into your gifts. Together, we co-create structures that work with your natural rhythms, so life feels more manageable, more meaningful, and more yours.Guided by the values of liberation, equity, and care, we affirm that Black Lives Matter, stand with the LGBTQIA+ community, recognize that we live on stolen land, and believe that Palestine will be free.

Meet Caren

Caren Calamita is a neurodiverse creator, educator, Tarot reader, Reiki Master Level Practitioner, letterpress enthusiast, and bread baker.As a late diagnosis ADHD'r (at 47) she feels the challenges of being neurospicy in a neurotypical world. Especially when routines, strategies, and systems aren't provided with the diagnosis... just the meds.Grateful for her background in Special Education to help her create her own systems and routines, she knows there are others out there who may not be in the same position.The decision to start Octopus Coaching came out of multiple conversations with other late diagnosed neurospicies who are struggling because they lack day to day strategies, supports, or routines. As a result they hold the misbelief that their brains are broken.It is her hope that in working with other neurodiverse adults they'll be able to see how beautiful it is to be neurodiverse.
