Case Study: The 7-Year-Old, the “ADHD?” Mystery and a Mother’s Big Exhale

When this client reached out, she was at her wit’s end.

Her 7-year-old son had been having meltdowns, anxiety about school, tantrums,

The whole emotional rollercoaster. She suspected ADHD, but something wasn’t sitting right.

This wasn’t our first time working together. A while back, I had done a remote energy clearingon their home because her son was terrified to go into certain areas.

After the clearing?

He walked right in with no fear.

So when she asked if I could work on him again, this time through her, I knew we could get to the root of things.


Step One: The Parent Always Holds the Key

When she arrived, I could immediately feelthe tension she was carrying.

It was in her voice, her posture, the way she exhaled just a little too hard when she sat down.

This wasn’t just about her son; her own stress was amplifying the situation; as the eldest, he was creating ripples of stress through the whole family unit.

So, before anything, we took a breath.

Then I got curious.

“What if it’s not ADHD?” I asked.


Step Two: Let’s Look at the Blueprint

Before jumping into energy work, I wanted to see what was actually happening beneath the surface. Energy patterns don’t lie. They show us the deeper truth, often beyond what our minds can explain.

I pulled up his Human Design chart, and it was like reading a cosmic instruction manual for this little guy.

Everything she described, his struggles, his overwhelm, his resistance to certain things, wasn’t disorder, it was misalignment.

He was expected to fit into a mould that didn’t suit his design.

Lightbulbs went off.

  • His energy wasn’t meant to be “contained” in the way school demanded.
  • The way he processed emotions was completely different from what was being reinforced at home.
  • The more he was pushed to be “normal,” the more anxious he became.

He wasn’t “misbehaving” at all.

His behaviours were actually his natural design, trying to self-correct in an environment that wasn’t built for him.

His emotional outbursts? Not defiance, just his way of trying to regulate without the right tools.

His struggles with school?

Not a lack of ability, just a system not built for his energy type or learning style.

When I explained this, her reaction was a mix of shock, relief, and that deep, motherly knowing when something just clicks.

“This makes so much sense! I’ve actually tried some of these things before, and when I do, they work!” she said, eyes widening.

Bingo. So we built on that.

Instead of focusing on how to change him, we focused on how to support him in being himself.


Step Three: Practical Shifts + Energetic Clearing

We put together small, practicaltweaks:

✅ How to shift his daily routines in a way that supported his natural flow

✅ How to hold spacewhen he had big emotions, instead of resisting them

✅ How to work with his design instead of against it

Then, I did an energetic reach-out healing, because stress, tension, and overwhelm leave an imprint, and if left unchecked, they can solidify into conditioning (or even trauma) that later needs to be undone.

Not on my watch.

I worked to clear out the energetic tension that had been building in both him and his mother.

When we were done?

  • Her throat pain was gone.
  • Her stomach pain was gone.
  • She exhaled for real this time.

And most importantly, she knew her child wasn’t broken.

He was just being raised in a system that didn’t understand him.


Step Four: Family Dynamics & Long-Term Harmony

We took it further.

I looked at the family dynamicsand how their human design charts interacted—siblings, cousins, and the whole energetic dance.

Because, It’s never about just one child.

When you understand how everyone’s energy interplays, you don’t just create ease for one person. You create a quantum ripple effect of harmony in the whole family.


The Results? Pure Magic

A few days later, I checked in.

Her son?

  • Little to no anxiety about going to school.
  • More comfortable at home and with his friends.
  • Emotions are still big, but now manageable.
  • And lastly, she told me that their mornings, which before were a battlefield of wills and fights over breakfast, were a calm, peaceful joy because of just one tweak….(I’ll give you this one… a simple switch from breakfast upon waking to a hot chocolate with a mid-morning snack later on…yes, his chart told me this!!)

And her?

  • Relaxed. Because now, instead of trying to control him, she could support him in being himself.

Of course, he’s 7. There’s still a journey ahead.

But now she has the tools, the understanding, and the confidence to help him navigate it in a way that works for him, not against him.


This is why I love what I do.

One session. Multiple disciplines, energy healing, psychology, neuroscience, relationship dynamics, and Human Design, working together.

One child’s entire trajectory changed before conditioning had a chance to set in.

And one very, very relieved mama.

This is the work that opens my heart so fully.

Helping a child be seen, helping a mother breathe easier, helping a family find its rhythm.

Because when we heal we create a foundation for a life that’s truly aligned.

And if that’s not bang for her buck, I don’t know what is.


The Ripple Effect: More Than Just One Child

The beauty of this kind of work is that it doesn’t stop with just one person.

When a child feels seen, understood, and honoured for who they are, it changes everything.

  • Their confidence grows because they no longer feel like something is “wrong” with them.
  • Their nervous system settles because they aren’t constantly fighting against invisible expectations.
  • They learn how to self-regulate, not because they’re forced to, but because they’re given the space and tools to do so naturally.

And when a parent learns to trust their own instincts, when they stop feeling like they’re constantly failing or doing something wrong and when they have clarity on how to support their child in a way that actually works?

That’s when the real magic happens.


A New Way to Parent: Beyond Labels, Beyond Conditioning

This session wasn’t just about helping a child with meltdowns.

It was about giving a mother permission to stop forcing a square peg into a round hole.

It was about removing unnecessary labels that, once slapped onto a child, can define their entire identity if they aren’t careful.

It was about understanding how energy, psychology, neuroscience, and family dynamics all weave together, and how, when approached holistically, real, sustainable change is possible.

💡 Most of us were never raised with an understanding of our own energy.

💡 Most of us were conditioned out of our natural way of being before we even had words for it.

💡 Most of us grew up feeling like we had to be different to who we truly are to be accepted, loved, or successful.

But it doesn’t have to be that way for the next generation.

This little boy now has a chance to grow up knowing himself.

He won’t have to spend decades unlearning who he’s not.

Instead, he gets to lean into who he is, right from the start.

And that? That makes my heart burst wide open.


Woven Into Leadership: The Fierce Empathy Approach

This work, this deep, integrative approach, isn’t just for parents and children.

It’s the same foundation I use when working with leaders.

Because parents are the first leaders, their children ever know.

And the same Human Design insights, energy mastery, and neuroscience-backed strategies that help a child thrive?

They are the exact same tools that help high-level leaders operate from clarity, alignment, and deep, unwavering confidence.

This is the core of my book, Fierce Empathy – How Mavericks Can Lead From The Heart and Shake Up The Status Quo.

Leading from a place of deep understanding, trust, and alignment.

Because whether you’re leading a child, a family, a business, or a movement, when you understand yourself and others at this level, you create a real, lasting impact.

And that is the work I live for.
