"I've worked with organizers in the past, but Ariane is different. She doesn't impose a one-size-fits-all organizational stategy, but develops one tailored to who you are and how you work. Ariane is not only interested in getting you organized, but in making sure that she leaves you with a system that helps you to stay organized. With her help, I'm more productive than I've been in years!" R.D.

If you often feel like you have flashes of brilliance and high potential, but are also often "stuck" and unable to make progress, or if you feel that you know what to do, but just can't make yourself do it, you have come to the right place. Welcome to the "tribe." You are not alone!
What you are going through is not just "procrastination." It's a physical and chemical difference in the way your brain works that can lead to chronic, cyclical overwhelm, disorganization and "stuckness." It can be caused by ADD, past emotional trauma, abuse, depression, brain injury, and more. Whatever the cause, when you don't understand what's happening to you, and you don't know what to do about it, it is incredibly frustrating and painful. Well-meaning people often give you advice and tips that just don't work for you and that makes you feel even worse. It's a vicious cycle. If you often feel like the part of you that "wants to do things" is completely disconnected from the part of you that "does things", you know exactly what I mean.
About Personal Coaching
Personal Coaching is a highly effective and PROVEN approach for creating true lasting change and for optimizing your ability to apply what you learn to your life.
"Wow! Ariane is so compassionate and caring and seems to know intuitively where I am coming from. I tend to be negative about myself and my abilities, but Ariane helped me see strengths that I wasn't even aware I had.... She also helped me see that it IS POSSIBLE to change and that some of my "negative" traits and habits can actually be positive. I look forward to more sessions with her. She is such a motivator and encourager! Susan S. |
It's like the difference between attending a lecture or being immersed in hands-on experiential learning that is completely customized to you. When you need to learn a new language, would you prefer to read a book? or visit the country with a guide that can translate for you and help you practice the new language?
My coaching approach is like helping you learn a new language for functioning in the world. Coaching is completely centered around your unique needs and respects your natural abilities and preferences. It's not about learning any particular system - it's about learning to "design" systems that truly work for you.
As a Life coach, I listen to your needs with a holistic perspective. Whether your challenge is ADD or not, if you struggle with time management, getting daily tasks done, taking care of yourself, compulsive overspending, disorganization, excessive clutter, inconsistent energy, procrastination, low self-worth, it is affecting your whole life. It may be showing in struggles or tension at work, in your marriage, with your kids. You may have difficulty with saying no, setting boundaries, high sensitivity, difficulty following through on commitments, listening, and/or communicating. As a life coach, I help you identify the true source of the tension and develop the skills needed to create more peace, satisfaction, and confidence. My background includes teaching people how to buld emotional intelligence skills, communication and listening skills, relationship skills, dealing with difficult people and much more.
As an ADD ADHD and Creative Personality Coach, I help you understand how brain chemistry affects your ability to act on your intentions and how to "reintegrate" your left / right brain (AKA your "logical planner"and your "emotional brain.") I also help you understand why much of the conventional wisdom out there simply does not apply to you. Messages like "try harder" or "set up a routine" or "just follow this system" simply don't work in the long term for people like us! But there is hope. When you learn how to appreciate the way your brain works, stand up for your right to be different, prioritize without getting overwhelmed by decision stress, and focus on getting consistent results using systems you design for yourself that are tailored to your needs and preferences, your life will be transformed.
As an Organizing coach and professional organizer, I teach you how to assess your own needs, and set up ultra-simple systems that inspire you and make organizing a source of stress relief - not agony - so that you can more easily manage your life, home, actions, finances, work, and paper. I support you in making the tough decisions needed to make room for what you really want in life -- like a home you enjoy being in, a job or career you love, relationships that nourish you, better health, less stress, and feeling safe to be your authentic self in the world.
"Working with you has changed my whole life and saved my marriage. My husband says it was the best money we ever spent. My kids are so happy we aren't fighting all the time now... It's actually easy to clean now. You are AWESOME! Thanks for giving me and my family a chance at a better life." Sandra C.

Wondering where to start?
Before you do anything else, if you resonate with my message so far I suggest getting on my mailing list so that you will start receiving occasional emails from me with free articles, classes, and other resources I make available. don't worry, I won't start sending pushy emails every day after you sign up. I hate that myself so I can't bring myself to do it to people.
