Meet Alice

Hi, I'm Alice — an Occupational Therapist, ADHD-er, parent, sensory-seeker, and the founder of The Shift.

I've spent 20 years working as an OT, supporting neurodivergent clients through life transitions, identity exploration, and recovery. But I've also lived the experience of masking, burnout, and late diagnosis firsthand.

After years of chasing "professionalism" in all the wrong ways, I realised something had to change. So I stopped pretending to be a perfectly regulated, always-productive OT... and started building a life and practice that actually works for my brain.

Now I help ADHD health professionals (like you) do the same—through honest conversations, embodied tools, and neuroaffirming support.

I'm not here to fix you. I'm here to hold space while you make the shift back to yourself.
