Gem Kennedy (they/them)

Based in England. Support in English.

Gem's AuDHD, queer, non-binary and witchy.

In 2016, they discovered deschooling and consent-based education while home-educating their two awesome kids. Like Alice, they fell into the rabbit hole and never left because it’s their wonderland.

Systems like the patriarchy, capitalism and colonialism have all shaped what "normal" is. But "normal" doesn't work for most of us. In fact, marginalised folk know this the most.

Once we see that, everything starts to look different. It gets clearer. We can finally see what we actually want to keep in our lives.

Based in Northern Ireland. Support in English.

Nuala is an ICF PCC-credentialed coach, specialising in leadership, wellbeing and neurodiversity coaching. Her style and approach reflect who she is as a person and a professional: warm, curious, inclusive and honest.

Whatever the context or starting point, the work is done in partnership to explore your hopes and how to make them a reality. It doesn't end there: the 'value-add' from coaching is in the deep learning and insights that will empower you long after our final session.
