About You and Me
My Coaching Story
A few years ago, one of our daughters was diagnosed with ADHD, and I have to admit that I did not know much about what that means. I started reading about ADHD and quickly realized that I was overwhelmed because there is so much information out there. I didn't know where to start and I felt like I had nobody to really talk to about the challenges my daughter and our family was going thru.
We started with medication, and we thought that was all we had to do. After a few years of trying different strategies (some successful and some not so successful) we saw some changes in our daughter, and I realized that I wanted to learn more about what it means to have ADHD. So, I went back to school to be a student.
I started my journey with ADD Coaching Academy and are now a certified Life Coach with a specialty in ADHD and Family coaching. My adventure with ADDCA has changed me as a person and my knowledge and understanding about what it means to have a uniquely wired ADHD brain. The most important thing I learned is that there is NOTHING TO FIX!!
My Story
My name is Venka and I am originally from Norway. I moved to the USA as a nanny years ago and met my husband. We have been together over 30 years and have two beautiful daughters. After college my husband and I lived in Norway for a few years before we moved back to Nantucket where we lived for 20 years then our journey took us to Boston, MA. Where I work as a Life Coach, specialising in ADHD and Excecutive Functions coaching.
In college I studied travel and hospitality and was a travel consultant for 20 years. We love going on family trips, exploring new countries, cultures and meeting new people. I also love skiing (yup Norwegian's are born with skis on their feet) and being outdoors. We have the best saying in Norway “there is never bad weather just bad clothing”.
