Neurtura 〰️
Some of us were never meant to fit the mold— we are wired for more, and are meant to redesign it.
With a foundation in business (McDonough, Georgetown University) and years working on Wall Street before charting my own path as a founder of multiple businesses, I bring both corporate fluency and hard-won personal wisdom to Neurtura, my neurodivergent coaching practice, available both as a daily app and as a 1:1 relationship.
Two ways to start—
Start Your Daily Practice
Neurtura: a daily app for nervous-system care and capacity-building, made for people ready to stop white-knuckling their way through life.
Work With Me
Seasonal 1:1 coaching for the deeper, longer arc of change, plus speaking, consulting, and workshops for organizations ready to build something different.
“Sara’s coaching has been such a catalyzing force in my journey. She illuminates the path back to yourself. After only a month of working together, I developed more clarity on my goals than I had after years of traditional talk therapy. Her process has really interrupted my limiting thought patterns— teaching me how to nourish myself and center my needs first to manifest the life/career I want.”

The Foundation
Why Neurtura Works
Neurtura draws from nervous-system science, somatic practice, ancestral wisdom, and mystic tradition, alongside Sara Elise’s own lived AuDHD experience. It doesn’t live inside one discipline, because no single discipline was ever built with neurodivergent people in mind.
But the foundation underneath all of it is simple:
Stop bracing against a world that wasn’t built for you.
Society as it exists now was not designed with neurodivergent people in mind, and it was never your job to keep forcing yourself to fit it. The work is building your own framework for an expansive life, on your own terms, instead of waiting for the world to change first.
Expansion starts with knowing what’s actually possible.
Once you see what’s possible for your life, you’re free to apply that to your everyday: not from old stories or limiting beliefs about what you thought you were capable of, but from what you now know to be true.
Which state you’re in determines what you can access.
Mystics across traditions have long described a field of pure information and possibility that exists before anything becomes real in your life. Joy, curiosity, and excitement are high-frequency states that tune you into the ideas and openings that build the life you actually want. Fear, stress, and overwhelm tune you into exactly what you’d expect: more of the same problems. Every possibility already exists in the field: what you have access to depends on where you set the dial.
Your wiring has been recognized as a gift before.
Long before neurodivergence was pathologized, plenty of cultures held space for it as something sacred rather than something to fix. In Plains Cree teaching, there’s a phrase for it: ê-mihkosit pihtos ê-si-waskawiht, “given the gift of moving and being different.” In te reo Māori, takiwātanga, “in one’s own time and space,” and te kura urupare, “the gift of the sensories,” reflect that same understanding. Reclaiming that is part of the work.
The Neurtura Method is a nonlinear, repeatable practice for replacing inherited “how-tos,” the ones handed down by society, by parents, by religion, with something you actually choose. It starts your life from a place of you, instead of a place of reacting to your circumstances.
That’s the power this reclaims: the freedom to actually find yourself.

Corporate, Brand & Interior Consulting
Corporate consulting, entrepreneur/brand consulting, and interior styling for hospitality and neurodivergent accessibility.
“As someone with ADHD, one of the biggest gifts of this work has been learning how to care for myself and my body in ways that actually fit how my brain works. Sara Elise helped me rewire patterns I didn’t know were possible to change. I’ve gone from feeling oppressed by how my brain operates to genuinely thriving because of it. Making time to learn about myself through these sessions has opened up a completely new way of life. I can’t recommend working with her enough.”
