I’m Kristen Santos.
I help adults with ADHD,AuDHD & Autism build lives that fit.
I work with adults who are tired of trying to squeeze themselves into systems that weren't made for them. We explore how your brain works, what you actually need, and how to create a life that aligns with your values and your nervous system.
Who are you, really?
Together we’ll uncover how your brain works, why certain patterns keep showing up, and what it means for you to live in a way that actually works.
What do you care about?
We’ll explore your values and priorities—not the ones others expect of you—and use them as a foundation for designing your life.
Gain the skills and strategies to thrive.
Instead of one-size-fits-all fixes, you’ll craft tools and approaches that match your wiring, so you can move through life with more confidence and ease.
about kristen
I'm a licensed occupational therapist, certified ADHD-Rehabilitation Services Provider (ADHD-RSP), and Co-Active trained life coach with a Master's in Leadership. My background includes hands-on patient care, team leadership, and healthcare management.
Through Kristen Coached Me, I combine my professional expertise with my personal experience as someone with AuDHD to help adults with ADHD, AuDHD, and autism create lives that feel both authentic and sustainable.
No medication, planner, or app will help if you’re still trying to change who you are.
Why I Coach
I spent years undiagnosed, believing something was wrong with me, pushing through exhaustion until I finally burned out.
Learning about my AuDHD changed everything—I realized I didn’t need to fit into others’ expectations but to build a life that fit me best. Now I help others do the same.

A structured yet flexible group where you’ll explore the “why” behind ADHD/AuDHD struggles, connect with others who get it, and try out new strategies together.

Online group coaching sessions with occasional custom resources and handouts to support your growth.

Group coaching helps ADHD and autistic employees (and everyone else) build strategies for focus, communication, and collaboration—while giving managers tools for inclusive leadership.

Coaching works when the fit feels right.
The most important factor in coaching isn’t the coach’s skills—it’s whether you feel understood and aligned.
