Note from the founder

I was the kid whose desk got pulled to the corner of the classroom. The one kicked out of ballet for talking too much. The one constantly told I was too much, not enough, doing it wrong.

When I finally got diagnosed with ADHD, it was like everything snapped into place. My past finally made sense.

But I had no path forward.

Shimmer started from my own need for support. The coaching options I found were confusing, expensive, or out of touch. Nothing felt right. I needed support that was real, personal, and grounded in science.

We built Shimmer for people like us. People who’ve been told they’re too much or not enough. People who are trying, every day, to make life feel a little more manageable and find that path forward.

If that’s you, you’re not alone anymore. You’re in the right place.
