I hate introductions, but here goes…
My name is Rosie and I’m AN ACCREDITED ADHD COACH, PODCASTER, AND YOGA AND PILATES INSTRUCTOR, BUT ULTIMATELY, just a human being who has decided to dedicate her life to supporting the ADHD community in rewriting their story of struggle into strength.
Here’s why?
Have you ever felt the need to change who you are in order to fit in?
me too!
And I’ve spent so many years hectically running around this world trying to be everything and everyone else but my true myself
Party girl, house wife, rebel, addict, yogi…. To name a few
Going from one extreme to another from one extreme to another.
Hoping that eventually, something would work and something would fix me and make me normal…
None of it ever did.
Since I can remember, my life has felt chaotic due to what I describe as having a tangled brain. Married at 24, divorced by 27, with 8 failed driving tests, constantly misplacing my belongings, partying like a rockstar, struggling to accept rejection, and facing difficulties staying motivated in a corporate job while fitting into societal norms.
Nothing in my life has been consistent, apart from one question: "What the hell is wrong with you?" This question has haunted me for decades, leading me to believe I was not enough. This resulted in a desperate hunt from an early age to find my place in this world, determined to be accepted, loved, successful, and happy.
My turning point came when a friend signed me up for the London Marathon, a race I completed in his memory after he tragically took his own life. This experience led me to become a certified yoga teacher in India and a qualified Pilates instructor, teaching movement and meditation for over eight years.
I firmly believe that this re-introduction to movement saved my life by enabling me to overcome my mental health and addiction struggles, as it provided the dopamine my brain constantly craved. This underscores the profound impact of physical activity on those with ADHD.
The misunderstanding of ADHD has already cost many wonderful human beings their lives, and undoubtedly many talented and gifted ones at that, because they got tired of seeking answers to the persistent questions: "What the hell is wrong with me?" "Why do I constantly struggle?" "Will I ever just be normal?"
My diagnosis enabled me to finally stop wasting my story of struggle and instead use it to make a positive impact on the lives of others who have suffered just like me.
My mission now is to do whatever I can to support late-diagnosed individuals with ADHD, helping them realise their worth and take authentic action to live a more meaningful life, through ADHD coaching and movement.
Let’s get Untangled and show the world what we are made of!
