Neurocomplexity is a term coined by Lindsey Mackereth, a Neurodivergent LPCC, LADC.

Neurocomplexity: the gestalt interplay of neurodivergent wiring that includes increased complexity in the areas of cognition, sensory receptivity, cellular response, attention, creativity, and/or intuition. (Mackereth, 2023)

Neurocomplex Nervous Systems often have traits or identification of:

• Giftedness

• Autism (Highly Masked, self-identified, and later diagnosed included)

• ADHD

• Learning differences (dyslexia, dyscalculia, etc)

• Synesthesia

• Gender fluidity

• Chronic illness

No. The Rewire and Rewild process can bring healing, freedom and expansion to anyone with the intention of growth. I teach from experience, education and example in a trauma informed way.

The more you put into this work, the more you will get out of it. You can read testimonials on the Rewire & Rewild homepage from people I’ve worked with who had immediate results after one session and incredible results after 30-60 days. Research shows that it takes our brains 6-7 months to create and strengthen a new neural pathway.

Result timelines vary depending on your level of commitment, your brain’s current level of plasticity and the level of external stress in your life. The safer you feel in general, the faster your brain can rewire. In the first few weeks of my own brain rewiring journey, I encountered every situation that Neurotypical brain retraining programs identify as “bad times” to start this work (emergency surgery, a traumatic breakup, moving). I was determined, I was devoted to the process, I leaned into ALL my tools and I healed anyway! I share my struggle to inspire you! Even if you are completely alone in life right now, void of hope, isolated, ill, or struggling with a toxic living situation, you CAN take back your life! The world needs your light! Please do not give up! There will be many chapters of hard work and I am honored to support you through them. I will celebrate with you when you are free and realize you have changed your story!

I specialize in Neurocomplexity/Neurodiversity coaching for late diagnosed AuDHD adults and adults navigating chronic illness, depression or anxiety. I love working with middle school aged children and teenagers as well.

I offer Meditation and Yoga Instruction to ages 4 and up as well as families. Please contact me if you would like to have weekly yoga or meditation instruction in your home in the Bend, OR area or on Zoom.

Yes! Neurodivergent minds are brilliant minds that can make amazing contributions to companies willing to understand and accommodate them! A vast majority of the Neurodivergent adult community is unemployed simply because we become disabled when we are forced to live and work by Neurotypical standards. I am passionate about helping both small and corporate businesses adjust their work environments and policies to support Neurodivergent wellness and productivity.

A psychologist or licensed therapist helps you verbally process trauma and unpack your life history in a clinical setting with clinical and behavioral health training. A psychiatrist has the additional ability to prescribe medication. As a Neurocomplexity/Neurodivergent Coach, I teach you tools to navigate life using your Neurospicy brain to overcome obstacles to well-being. I am supplying you with tools as someone who has walked the path of being late diagnosed Autistic and ADHD, healed CPTSD and Chronic Illness and has figured out the wellness recipes we need to thrive. I am a Meditation and Mindfulness expert who has studied a field of Neuroscience called Neuroplasticity (which is the brain’s ability to adapt, rewire and change). I do not verbally process trauma with you. I am not trained to do this and doing so would be harmful to me as an Empath and someone with an Eidetic Memory.

We will connect via phone prior to our first session to get to know each other a little and discuss your questions, goals and expectations. If we both feel the connection aligns we will schedule a first session on Zoom. Together we will cultivate an empowering wellness practice tailored to your specific goals/needs.

Sessions are 50 minutes long, relaxed and flow organically. In our first session together we will get to know each other a little. I will ask you to share your goals as well as areas you are seeking healing/improvement/help in. I will actively listen to how you express yourself and communicate to discern the best ways to teach you the tools you need to thrive. I will ask you questions about how you identify yourself, your special interests, thought and behavior patterns, strengths, weaknesses, sensory bliss and sensory aversions to gain an understanding of how YOU are wired. We will talk about your Neurospicy traits, how you perceive them at this time and how you self-regulate. I’ll share a little about myself as an example of what these conversations include:

I am a high masking AuDHD woman and a Universal Empath. I was labeled “gifted” in writing and the arts as a child and experienced disabling perfectionism. I worked as a professional singer/songwriter and actress in Los Angeles for a decade before major Autistic burnout, CPTSD and chronic illnesses took over. My learning gaps are in math and technology. I have Synesthesia, Hyperphantasia, an Eidetic Memory, extreme Pattern Recognition skills and Self Awareness - I feel these Neurospicy traits are my strengths and the source of my magic.

I express myself and communicate best through songwriting, poetry, storytelling and dance. Some of the ways I experience sensory bliss and nervous system regulation are through time in nature, standing in big warms winds with my arms stretched out like a bird, water/the sensation of swimming, the hug of a hammock, petting my cat Gingi, working with flowers, watching slow soft color changing lights, a cup of cacao or herbal tea, and exercise (hiking, dancing Brazilian Zouk or Hoop Dance). I actively work to shut down perfectionism (it no longer dominates my life). I have a sensory aversion to leaf blowers, power tools and extremely bright fluorescent/LED lights. Before rewiring my brain these aversions were crippling - I could not leave the house or think if apartment gardeners were outside, I would sit in a corner with headphones on shaking and crying. Now it’s just annoying and I can’t write well with the noise. I smile the biggest smile now when I leave the house and walk right by someone with a leaf blower (without headphones or earplugs)! I remember people’s names the first time I meet them and will recognize their face and call them by name from that point forward. I have memorized names going around in a circle for introductions at events of up to 40 people. I have also scared the hell out of people I’ve run into as an adult that I played with on the playground as a little kid by calling them by their name and remembering what they were wearing when we were 6 years old that day. It took me a long time to realize not everyone’s memory worked this way!

You get the idea! As our sessions progress, I will explain in detail how the Limbic System works, share mindfulness tools, rituals and exercises, and lead you in short guided meditations. We will spend the first few minutes of each session discussing your progress, how you implemented what you’ve learned so far, what your experience was like implementing these tools and what challenges surfaced in your process. This is about diving deep into self discovery and holding space for connection! We will honor every little milestone you achieve! I am open to partnerships that range from weekly or biweekly each month. I recommend a minimum 6 month partnership to accommodate the 6 month minimum it takes our brains to develop and strengthen new neural pathways. Meeting once a week is ideal for optimal progress and adequate support.

My intention is to reconnect people to their intuition and the land, to free the wild within and to heal trauma and neurological imbalances by restoring balance to both the nervous system and the soul. The healing I share was born of my own personal 20 year journey to heal a long list of “genetic” “incurable” diseases, CPTSD, “chronic” pain and a “permanent” brain injury. On this epic journey, I explored many forms of natural healing and over many years combined the practices that in my experience were the most potent in achieving a “miraculous recovery.” The healing I share is rooted equally in the spiritual and the scientific. On a scientific level it integrates the psychology of how animals in the wild release trauma, neuroplasticity and the brain’s lateral, cross over functionality. On a spiritual level it utilizes energy healing, restores prana/chi/life force, nurtures spiritual awakening and the discovery of your authentic Self through meditation, ritual and connecting with spirit animals and plant allies.
