How to create a neuroafirming practice

A live webinar by two AuDHD Naturopaths – Laura Taylor and Jade Walker

This masterclass is more than just professional development — it’s an invitation to rethink how we show up in practice for our neurodivergent clients. Rooted in lived experience and clinical insight, this session is for any practitioner ready to deepen their understanding of neurodivergence and shift toward care that is genuinely inclusive, respectful, and affirming.

In a world where neurodivergent people are often pathologised, misunderstood, or squeezed into one-size-fits-all models of health, this masterclass will help you take a different path; one grounded in honouring autonomy, sensory safety, communication differences, and identity.

You’ll walk away with a deeper understanding of:

✅ What it means to be neuroaffirming in clinical practice
The term “neuroaffirming” describes a way of practicing that honours neurodivergent identity, respects individual needs and communication styles, and moves away from pathologising one’s unique differences.

✅ The A-Z of neuroaffirming language
Confused by the difference between neurodivergence and neurodiversity? Scared you’re going to say the wrong thing? We’ll cover everything you need to know so that you can communicate confidently to your neurodivergent audience.

✅ How to recognise (and unlearn) medicalised and deficit-based language
We’ll explore everyday phrases and frameworks that can unintentionally cause harm, and offer affirming alternatives

✅ Reframing what you expect from clients
Learn how to interpret patterns through a neuroaffirming lens and adapt your clinic policies without compromising your boundaries or business.

✅ Practical strategies and clinical tools
Leave with tangible ways to improve your client intake forms, treatment plans, communication, and follow-up systems.

✅ Neuroaffirming prescribing
Understanding where certain products aren’t appropriate for certain neurodivergent individuals and our top prescribing tips

✅ Important referrals
Whether someone is diagnosed or not, there are several modalities that can support neurodivergent individuals. Equally so, there are also certain modalities that may cause harm that you can inform you clients about.

Who’s this masterclass for?

This neuroaffirming masterclass is ideal for any health practitioner who wants to be up-to-date in the latest understanding of neurotypes such as autism and ADHD, and create a safe space for those individuals.

Whether you’re just starting to explore what “neuroaffirming” means or you’ve been walking this path for years, you’ll come away with a greater sense of clarity, confidence, and connection.

Why trust Jade and Laura?

Jade and Laura both have a strong lived experience as late-diagnosed neurodivergent individuals. For Jade the realisation came 2 years ago being officially diagnosed with combined type ADHD. Not much later she would also discover she’s autistic.

In a similar fashion, Laura also walked the same path recently receiving a combined diagnosis of autism and ADHD. The colloquial term being “AuDHD”.

Now seeing neurodivergent people of all backgrounds and regularly educating their audiences on social media, Jade and Laura can speak from lived experience, clinical expertise, and a deep understanding of the nuanced resssalities neurodivergent clients face.

Being a neuroaffirming practitioner does not mean ignoring the challenges, co-existing conditions or disabilities that neurodivergent folk face, but instead, it’s about validating those experiences while supporting clients in ways that honour their identity and reduce harm.

Come as you are. No masking required.
