I don't even know where to begin! Working with Vidya has honestly changed my life for the better! As a mother of not one but two kids with ADHD, I was completely at a loss with how to manage all of the stress and intensity in our home life. In addition to the behavioral and academic challenges that accompany ADHD, there was the stress of navigating different parenting philosophies with my husband. It seemed that getting anyone in our home on the same page was an impossible dream. After doing some of my own research on the topic, I came across a recommendation to find an ADHD coach (an option that I never even knew existed). That proved to be the best "advice" that I ever received. I immediately began my online search, and that's when I found Calm Seas Coaching, LLC. :D

I have been working with Vidya now since March 2018 and have learned so much as a result. In addition to learning more about ADHD and the unique wiring of the ADHD brain, I have become more skilled at setting up my kids (and even my marriage) for greater success. While I initially reached out to Vidya to coach my children, I've seen such incredible value in her expertise that I "stole" her for myself. :D She is absolutely amazing!!! She learns about you as an individual, your strengths and processing styles, what motivates you, the areas in your life that you consider to be your biggest challenges, and then makes observations and/or asks questions that allow you to formulate your own solutions/answers.

Since working with her, my focus has shifted from "my failures as a parent" to my evidence-based history of successes. I have learned to recognize and respond to my own triggers and counterproductive thought patterns (thinking traps) that have gotten in the way of more positive outcomes. In simplest terms, coaching has been about making the shift away from the typical "negative" mindset of what we DON'T want towards the more positive mindset of what we DO want! That positive mindset has always been more authentically me, but with the stress of life, it had become increasingly easier to get emotionally hijacked. Thanks to Vidya, not only have I improved my skills in seeing the world through a lens of positivity, but I have been able to pass that knowledge on to my kids, family, and friends. I highly recommend her services!! Whether it's individual coaching, group coaching or her monthly meet-ups, you won't regret investing in YOU!
