Hey There!

I’m Janine Defontaine – coach, mentor, and your biggest cheerleader on this journey we call life.

Diagnosed at 45 with severe burnout, AuDHD, and complex PTSD after years of burnout, anxiety and overwhelm, I know what it’s like to feel lost in a neurotypical world.

Now, I help late-diagnosed ADHD & AuDHD folks like you to find clarity, confidence, good health and more joy – on your terms.

As a Certified ADHD Practitioner and Advanced ADHD Coach, I blend evidence-based strategies with real-life experience to support your journey.

My approach focuses on empowering you to embrace your neurodivergent identity and live differently. Together, we’ll find strategies that work for you so you can live your best life on your terms.

I believe in finding joy in the every day, celebrating the small wins (because they matter), and keeping things practical, honest, and real. Together, we’ll find what works for you.

BTW – I try not to take myself too seriously, and I believe a good laugh can work wonders! You’ll also get to meet my assitant along the way, Freya the Doberman.

Janine is the first person that I turn to.

“Janine is an effective communicator, educator, mentor, and friend, but most of all, she saw I had the potential I didn’t realise I had. Janine is the first person that I turn to when I have an issue or need a problem resolved.”

I am feeling more sure of myself and my strengths.

I just found out this afternoon that I won one of the permanent positions! I am very excited – it makes me feel positive and excited for the future. I have stability now. I am feeling more sure of myself and my strengths. I still have anxiety, of course, but I am going to try and accept that as normal.”
