Reiki, Tarot, & Neurodivergent Coaching

The Face Behind Octopus Coaching

I'm Caren, a neurodiverse creator, educator, Tarot reader, Reiki Master Level Practitioner, letterpress enthusiast, and bread baker.

As a late diagnosis AuDHD'r (at 47) I understand the challenges of being neurodiverse in a neurotypical world. Especially when supports, routines, strategies, or systems aren't provided with the diagnosis... just the meds.

My decision to start Octopus Coaching came out of multiple conversations with other late diagnosed AuDHD and ADHD'rs who are struggling because they lack day to day strategies, supports, or routines. As a result they hold the misbelief they are broken, when that is the furthest from the truth.

How I Got Here

Listen to my conversation with Karen Cringoli, owner of Frequency Wellness Space, about who I am, what I do, and the winding path that led me to today.

”Do this, really, even just to bounce things off with some who will back you up and tell you the truth and make you feel stronger all at once. You will not regret it”

”What stood out most was her ability to create a space that felt safe for vulnerability. Her reading wasn’t about prediction—it was about connection to spirits, and to the subtle energies. If you’re seeking clarity, emotional alignment, or simply a moment of quiet introspection, Caren’s intuitive approach offers powerful insight.”
