What is Parent coaching?

Tuning in to Kids® and Tuning in to Teens® are evidence-based parenting programs that teach practical Emotion Coaching skills, helping parents understand and respond to emotions, strengthen connection, support emotional regulation and navigate challenging behaviour. Programs are offered one-to-one or in groups.

ADHD coaching is practical support for how ADHD actually shows up in daily life.

It's a collaborative process - understanding how your brain works, then building routines, systems and strategies around it, instead of forcing it into ones that don't fit.

What is ADHD coaching?

  • ADHD and Neurodivergent coaching helps to understand why things that "should" be easy feel so hard

  • Build routines that actually stick, because they're designed for your brain, not against it

  • Get support without needing a diagnosis first

  • Learn strategies for daily life, work, or parenting that hold up outside a session

I'm Fi Waters - a late-diagnosed ADHDer, a parent of neurodivergent kids, and a former teacher and assistant principal with 25 years in education. I also hold a certified ADHD coaching accreditation and Tuning in to Kids and Teens facilitator qualification.

Meet Fi

Fi Waters stands in front of the Messy Minds logo. She is smiling and wearing glasses.

As a trained Tuning in to Kids® and Tuning in to Teens® facilitator, I bring both professional training and lived experience to parent coaching. Parenting my own children has taught me that knowing the theory and living it are two very different things. I understand the challenges, the second-guessing and the moments when nothing seems to work. I use the lessons I’ve learnt—personally and professionally—to help other parents better understand their child, strengthen connection and find practical ways forward that feel achievable for their family.

Support that meets you where you are.
