Finding My Path

The Core Truth
I created Living Lotus Holistics because I needed frameworks that didn't exist—ones that honored neurodivergence as natural variation, bridged scientific and traditional knowledge, and gave me tools to understand my patterns deeply enough to show up whole for my daughter.
After years of medical dismissal, undiagnosed neurodivergence, chronic illness, and questioning my worth as a mother, I went searching across disciplines: neuroscience, Ayurveda, Traditional Chinese Medicine, genetics, educational philosophy, trauma-informed care.
What I found were threads—patterns that showed up again and again, in different languages, across different traditions. Patterns that explained why one-size-fits-all approaches fail people like me. And my daughter. And probably you.

The Discovery
I learned that my 'alphabet soup' of diagnoses—ADHD, autism, EDS, POTS, digestive issues, sensory processing differences—weren't separate problems randomly occurring in one unlucky body.
They were predictable patterns of a specific constitutional type under decades of chronic stress, trauma, and being forced into systems that couldn't accommodate my nervous system's actual needs.
Ancient medicine had observed these patterns for millennia. Modern science was validating them through neuroscience, genetics, and nervous system research. But nobody was translating between the languages. Nobody was showing families how to USE this understanding practically.
So I did.

The Mission
Living Lotus Holistics teaches pattern literacy—the ability to observe and understand constitutional differences in yourself, your children, and your learning environments.
This isn't about finding your 'type' and following a protocol. It's about developing fluency in reading energy patterns through multiple lenses (scientific, traditional, experiential) and learning to work WITH your nature instead of constantly fighting it.
I bridge disciplines that mainstream thinking keeps separate—neuroscience and ancient wisdom, individual biology and collective systems, human patterns and natural rhythms. I look for threads of truth that run through multiple traditions, because reality is complex enough to need multiple perspectives.
The frameworks I've built serve anyone who's been dismissed by medical systems, anyone raising neurodivergent kids, anyone tired of being told they're broken, anyone sensing that the answers we need are scattered across disciplines—waiting to be woven together.
My daughter gave me the reason to do this work. What I discovered is for anyone trying to understand themselves deeply enough to live authentically, parent consciously, and honor difference instead of pathologizing it.

The Approach
I work from one foundational premise: everything is energy, manifesting in observable patterns. Beyond that, I hold frameworks lightly.
What I offer isn't THE truth—it's a methodology for observing patterns in yourself, finding threads across multiple knowledge systems, and developing the literacy to make choices based on YOUR direct experience, not someone else's prescription.
This is living, evolving work—being tested by real families (starting with mine) in real life. It's not finished. It's not perfect. But it's coherent, useful, and honest about its limits.

The Invitation
If you're here because nothing else has worked, because you're tired of being dismissed, because you're seeking alternatives to pathologization, because you sense your differences are expressions of natural variation—not disorders to fix—welcome.
This is for the pattern-seekers, the bridge-builders, the parents navigating complexity, the humans who don't fit the molds and are done trying to.
