Kristen Santos is a licensed occupational therapist, certified ADHD-Rehabilitation Services Provider (ADHD-RSP), and a professionally trained ADHD coach through the Co-Active Institute. With a Master’s in Leadership and a diverse background spanning direct care, team leadership, and healthcare management, Kristen specializes in coaching adults—both neurotypical and neurodivergent—who seek to navigate life with greater clarity, confidence, and authenticity.

Kristen's journey into coaching was deeply personal. Diagnosed with ADHD later in life, she spent years feeling as though she was climbing uphill with a weighted backpack—until she discovered the power of coaching. The transformation she experienced inspired her to help others understand their unique brains, break unhelpful patterns, and design lives that align with their values.

Outside of her work, Kristen finds joy in knitting, sailing, reading, hiking, and gardening—though not all at once. She also loves spending time with her cats, who are always happy to supervise.

A lifelong explorer, Kristen has called many places home, from Los Angeles to Boston to Atlanta, with a few stops in between.
