hi, I’m Teena!

I spent most of my life trying to squeeze myself into the box that society expected me to fit. When that didn’t work, I figured I must belong in some other box labeled Elsewhere. I had a closet full of abandoned projects, a resume full of seemingly random short-term jobs, and an active mind full of brilliant ideas with no idea how to pick which one to focus on.

I was constantly looking for answers by reading, attending workshops and silent meditation retreats, and practicing everyday awareness. Then, after decades of struggling without knowing why, I was diagnosed with PMDD in my mid-30s and ADHD in my early 40s — finally, it all made sense.

Feeling called to help others like me, I studied at an accredited ADHD coaching program. Now I pair this professional training with my personal experience to support others as they navigate their own journeys with ADHD and PMDD.

I spent many years feeling lost and alone, and learning about these conditions and finding the right support taught me to celebrate who I am, exactly as I am. I don’t need fixing.

Instead, I lean into my natural tendencies and build around my unique needs. I can live life at my own pace and stay true to my North, my values.

this is Flowing North

Flowing North represents how we navigate life:

Flowing is about embracing our natural rhythms and moving forward in ways that work for us, whether we're managing ADHD, PMDD, or just trying to get through the day.

North represents our authentic selves and what guides us, like our core values, strengths, and priorities.

After years of trying to “find” it, I eventually figured out my North was quietly guiding me as best it could — while deeply buried under societal and cultural expectations, inherited beliefs that were no longer serving me, and self-doubt. Learning to recognize and honor my North allowed me to live with more ease and intention.

Flowing North is a reminder to prioritize what matters most to us. Some of us already know our direction, while others may feel like we're still looking. Either way, North is always within you.

Whether your North is expansive (advocating for a cause you believe in) or personal (managing daily tasks), I’d be honored to be part of your journey.

I am committed to providing an environment that supports, appreciates, and respects the race, color, culture, religion, spiritual practices, sex, age, socioeconomic status, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression, relationship status or configuration, national origin, and physical and mental abilities of all person. I recognize that my understanding of inclusiveness and social justice is an ongoing endeavor that requires continued training, professional development, and action on my part.
