About our C.E.O Kayla

Kayla's journey highlights the resilience and strength found in community support and personal experience. Having dedicated years to education in California, she transitioned to Vancouver, Washington, where she found a new purpose in sharing her own story of trauma and triumph. This transition was not just geographical; it marked the beginning of a mission to provide peer-to-peer support for those navigating similar challenges.

As a neurodivergent individual, Kayla possesses a unique understanding of the complexities faced by her community. Her experiences with various mental health challenges have equipped her with valuable insights and coping strategies, which she now shares with others. Through workshops, support groups, and one-on-one conversations, Kayla fosters an environment where individuals feel understood and empowered.

Her commitment to the neurodivergent community is evident in the safe spaces she creates, offering a platform for dialogue and healing. Kayla's approach emphasizes the importance of connection and validation, reminding those she supports that they are not alone in their struggles. Through her work, she continues to inspire hope and resilience, proving that even in the face of adversity, it is possible to thrive.
