Why Profoundly Ausome?
What Can Autism Parent Coaching Do for Your Family?
Profoundly Ausome empowers overwhelmed parents to shift their mindset to create harmonious, joyful homes while celebrating the beautiful minds of their profoundly autistic children. The goal is not to change your child - it is to shift your mindset so that the overwhelm is less and the joy is more. You don't need to navigate this journey feeling defeated, exhausted, or alone. Through proven mindset coaching techniques, Profoundly Ausome will guide you toward finding peace, optimism, and genuine happiness in your daily family life—because your child's profound autism is not a barrier to joy, it's a different path to it.
You're Not Alone in This Journey
If you're reading this, chances are you're feeling overwhelmed, maybe even defeated. You love your profoundly autistic child deeply, but some days the challenges and struggle can feel insurmountable. You might be thinking:
​
-
"I'm constantly worried about, not only my child's future, but the future of our whole family, and whether I'm doing enough"
-
"I feel guilty taking time for myself when my child needs so much support"
-
"The behaviors are so intense, and I don't know how to stay calm anymore"
-
"I'm losing myself in the constant caregiving and advocacy"
-
"How am I supposed to do this every single day?"
-
"Other parents don't understand what our family goes through"
These feelings are completely normal—and they don't make you a bad parent. They make you human.
Here's what is known to be true: With the right mindset shifts and tools, you can transform your daily experience from survival mode to thriving mode. You can find joy, peace, and optimism while providing exceptional care for your child. You can create a home filled with harmony instead of constant stress, and a future filled with joy for your whole family. You are strong enough. The universe only entrusts the care of a profoundly autistic child to those who are capable.

What Sets Profoundly Ausome Apart
Profoundly Ausome is different than any other parent coaching program because it is the only one tailored specifically to parents raising profoundly autistic kids. Additionally, my approach isn't about changing your child; it's about shifting your perspective to see the extraordinary within the challenges and to know that not only your future, but your child's and your family's futures are bright! Most importanty, I am lucky enough to live the experience of parenting a beautiful profoundly autistic child every day too!
​
The Profoundly Ausome Philosophy:
Your child's profound autism brings unique gifts to your family and the world. They experience life with an intensity and authenticity that many of us have forgotten. They're incredibly tuned into energy, often sensing what we miss. When we learn to appreciate these qualities instead of fighting against them, and when we achieve perspective change, everything else changes too.
The Profoundly Ausome Focus:
Through mindset coaching and reframing, you can:
-
Shift from surviving to thriving by changing how you view daily challenges
-
Build unshakeable calm even during your child's most intense moments
-
Prioritize your wellbeing without guilt, knowing that a healthy parent creates a healthier family
-
Communicate with your child more effectively, and parent more intentionally, by understanding the "why" behind behaviors
-
Plan proactively so you feel prepared instead of constantly reactive
-
Connect with community so you never feel isolated in this journey

"Before Profoundly Ausome, I was constantly anxious about my son's behaviors and felt like I was failing as a parent. Now I approach each day with curiosity instead of dread. When he has a meltdown, I stay calm and connected instead of falling apart myself. Our whole family dynamic has shifted—there's actually joy in our house again!"
"Profoundly Ausome helped me see my son's autism as a different way of being in the world, not something broken that needed fixing. This mindset shift changed everything. I stopped fighting against his natural rhythms and started working with them. Now we have peaceful mornings, and I actually look forward to our time together."
"I thought taking care of myself was selfish when my child needed so much. Profoundly Ausome showed me that my self-care directly benefits my whole family. I'm a better, more present parent now, and my son responds to my calmer energy. It's like a positive ripple effect through our entire home."
