Build the neurospicy creative life of your dreams!

You deserve to thrive in your life and with your creativity, and it is NOT too late.

Right now, you might feel stuck, and like the kind of life where you’re peaceful, regulated, and creating tons, is not on the cards for you. But I got news for you: IT IS. You can’t even begin to imagine how good it feels on the other side.

It’s not about having it all.

It’s about building a life that works for YOU.

Does any of this sound familiar? 👀

  • You’re late-diagnosed autistic, adhd or AuDhd, whether you self-identify, or got the elusive official diagnosis. Maybe you’re in your 30s or 40s.

  • After years of struggling to find your place in the world, your entire life finally makes sense. But the more you unmask, it the less your life fits you. Not even one bit. You’ve always known it wasn’t right on some level, but now it’s un-fucking-deniable. And you’re ready to burn it all down. Metaphorically, that is.

  • You’re a creative, a storyteller, writer or a poet. When you were young, you used to create like it was the easiest thing in the world. These days, you can’t get a creative routine going again to save your life. Which sucks. You miss it. And you also hate how that feels. Beyond your dreams of getting that manuscript published or writing a poem that goes viral, what you really want is to fall back in love with the process of being creative.

  • You know there’s a better life for you out there. Maybe you’ve been thinking about it for a while. But there are hundreds of possibilities, which is scary, overwhelming, and, frankly, confusing. You don’t know where to start. Applying for jobs fills you with dread,and at this point, staying where you are feels safer. Deep down, it’s also killing you, slowly. The problem is that after years of living a life that never felt like you, you have no idea how to trust your instincts enough to make a start on making a change.

… and is this the future you want?

  • With curiosity, patience, and a lot of time spent embracing your feelings in their intense and complicated glory, you have rebuild a strong relationship with the parts of you that are wise and knowing. You feel confident again - maybe even for the first time ever. Not because you have all the answers, but because you know that you will always know how to listen to yourself so you can find your own way back.

  • Your inner artist is your new best friend. It’s not like you’re suddenly a creativity productivity monster - that’s not the point. The point is you know how to nurture yourself, how to be patient with yourself, how to find flow, and how to trust your voice and your instincts so you can write or create whatever the fuck you want, regardless of what you do with it, and what anyone else thinks of it.

  • Maybe you’ve moved on from the demanding job that sucked the life out of you. Maybe you’ve got the right accommodations in your existiong job. Maybe you’ve made the leap to freelance life. However you’re paying the bills, it still involves some compromises. But you’re no longer compromising on the things that really matter to you, and the things that you really need to feel good as a neurospicy human.

I’m a queer, neurodivergent coach, writer and poet 💜

Prior to starting my own business in 2025, I had a 15-year career as a story producer in scripted TV, making comedy and drama series in the UK. I threw it all out the window when I realised my life had stopped fitting me after being late-diagnosed with autism.

Now everything’s different, and I could not be happier, or more fulfilled.

The heart of my work as a neurodivergent coach for creatives:

I don’t believe there’s a right or wrong way of doing life. But to be honest, most of us neurospicy peeps tend to thrive outside the cookie cutter societal norms where we can embrace the way our brains work and set the tone for our own lives.

I also know that learning to trust our instincts as late-diagnosed neurodivergent folks can be a real ride. How the fuck do you find your way when you’ve spent literal decades pretending to be someone you’re not, draining your batteries like an off-brand duracell bunny?

As a neurodivergent coach, my creative courses and coaching programme all have one single goal: to allow you to tap into your creativity to help you reconnect with yourself, your intuition, your voice, and learn to unmask with yourself, so that you can meet the version of you that knows exactly what you want, what you need, and how to get there.

We all need wildly different things to be happy and thriving, but that’s only possible when you let go of the story you’ve created in your head about what your life should like look like, or even the one you think you’re condemned to, and embrace the weird, alternative, joyful life you actually need.

As your fellow neurospicy writer, poet and big feelings wielder who threw her “normal” into the bin in 2025 and has not looked back for even a second since,I am all about zero judgment, 100% genuine vibes, loads of colours and minimal masking with a sprinkle of chaos, and I am the proof that your best life doesn’t have to be normal - or perfect.

Your best life is the one where you can finally become the writer or artist you’ve always wanted to be, pay the bills, feel peaceful (relative to the insane world we live in ofc) all while listening to your intincts.

All the spaces I run are gentle, nurturing, non-judgemental, and unapologetically neurodivergent-affirming and inclusive.

“Laurie created an incredibly safe environment to be vulnerable.

She was able to make space for the personal, emotional neurodivergent elements that were blocking me, whilst also keeping me on track towards practical solutions. She helped me see how to navigate necessary tasks in my own way, rather than be in a battle with them.

I truly wouldn't have gotten over the hurdles I was facing without Laurie's support.

Allowing her to see my stuckness, and then to be held with such care and support, not only helped me in this particular quest, but also helped melt away a little of a lifetime of failure shame.”
