Your struggle isn’t due to lack of effort.
It’s about the missing elements in your ADHD ecosystem.
You’ve read the books. You’ve tried the planners, the apps, the timers. Each one works… for about a week.
You know yourself well. You can map out how entire systems should work. And yet your own inbox, calendar, to-do list, daily life feel like a different story.
Some days your body is wired and exhausted at the same time. Some days the feelings hit before you even open the task. And underneath it all is a quiet voice saying you should be able to do this by now.
But this isn’t a you problem. It’s a missing-elements problem, and that can be changed.

1:1 ADHD Coaching with Ying
The 6-element ecosystem that holds you as a whole person: body, heart, mind, and the life you’re building.
Why does it work?
simple answer:
A 6-element ecosystem.
Inspired by the Five Elements, 五行 (earth, water, fire, metal, wood) in Chinese philosophy, held together by space. Most ADHD support works on one piece of you. Lasting change happens when all six work together.
土
Somatics · Earth
Capacity
I feel calm in my body.
You can settle yourself when stress spikes.
水
Emotion · Water
Regulation
I can ride the waves of my feelings.
You bounce back faster when emotions hit.
火
Narratives · Fire
Self-trust
I believe in myself.
You see your strengths, not just your struggles.
金
Cognition · Metal
Focus
I understand my brain.
You know why you get stuck and how to get unstuck.
木
Execution · Wood
Flow
I get things done.
You start tasks and actually finish them.
空
System · Space
Adaptability
It sticks.
You have routines that work even on hard days.

The Award-Winning 6-Element Ecosystem for ADHD Brains
Recognized by the largest adult ADHD coaching platform
Everything in my coaching is built on the 6-element ecosystem
Lasting change with ADHD comes down to all six elements working together, in balance, supporting both your inner and outer worlds.
Inner dimension
- Somatics土
- Emotion水
- Narratives火
Feeling steady in your body and emotions, and trusting the story you tell about yourself.
Outer dimension
- Cognition金
- Execution木
- System空
Understanding how your brain works, getting things done, and routines that hold even on hard days.
The Bridge
1:1 COACHING WITH YING
The curve between yin and yang. Coaching connects your inner and outer worlds, so calm and self-trust turn into clear thinking and real follow-through, held by one coach who knows your whole story.
A missing element is why nothing worked before…
Mindfulness and meditation gave you calm, but never channeled that calm into action and follow through.
Productivity coaching gave you systems, but those systems ignored your nervous system.
ADHD courses gave you knowledge, but none of the personal support & adaptation to actually use it in your real life.
Sure, you could try to piece it all together yourself. But every new app, program, and helper starts from scratch, and the full picture of you gets lost.
With me, one coach holds the whole picture, continuously, 1:1, so nothing gets lost in between.
don’t take my word for it; read reviews straight from my clients
What changes when all of you is supported
Before I started, I felt like I was on a perpetual hamster wheel, working to exhaustion and accomplishing little. Now I’m more focused, and I make choices that actually serve me.
– Carrie H.
I feel less anxious about my diagnosis. As a BIPOC woman, it helped just knowing I wasn’t alone, and that real solutions were still within reach.
– Bri
Ying holds space for complexity without trying to fix you, and always finds the most valuable thread in my rambling to help me try something new.
– Paulo
Ying helped me break big goals into achievable steps, with practical ways to lower the difficulty of a task so I could actually finish it.
– Tiffany
The biggest takeaway was that smaller changes often lead to bigger change. That shifted my mindset away from feeling like I always needed to make drastic moves.
– Michelle L.
Somehow things that used to feel overwhelming suddenly feel simple and manageable, unlike productivity tips that just feel like more effort.
– Siyu Q.
How coaching works
Macro: what happens during your overall coaching journey
Phase 1
Mindful
- Notice patterns with loving curiosity
- Build somatic awareness
- Regulate your nervous system
Phase 2
Strategic
- Prioritize your energy toward real goals
- Find your actual bottleneck
- Build ADHD friendly systems for execution and follow-through
Phase 3
Multi-dimensional
- Run real-life experiments
- Build a strengths-based narrative
- Weave in routines that hold up
The order above is just for reading;
real coaching moves back and forth as your life does.
Micro: what happens in a 50-minute coaching session
1. Ground
Sessions can open with a short, optional guided meditation to settle your nervous system before we dive in.
2. Coach
Personalized coaching and strategic planning to help you bridge the gap between knowing and doing.
3. Carry forward
Each session closes with something concrete: a strategy to try, a tool, an experiment, or a new insight.
This is what clients consistently land on:
What you’ll walk away with
A more regulated nervous system, day to day
An ADHD specific toolkit you actually trust and use
Resilient systems that adapt as your needs change
Deep self-trust, confidence, strengths-based narratives
my coaching isn’t for everyone
Is it right for you?
My clients thrive because we’re the right fit from the start. Here’s how to know if that’s you…
This is for you if…
You started learning more about your ADHD later in life
(you don’t need a formal diagnosis) and you’re finally making sense of years of wondering why things felt harder than they “should.”
You’ve done quite a bit of self-reflection
and you want a coach who meets you at that depth.
Your mind moves fast and connects everything
and you rarely find someone who can keep up, follow where your thoughts jump, and help you make sense of it.
You hold many identities at once
You want a space where all of you is understood, without having to explain or shrink parts of yourself.
You are curious about how to balance your inner calm and outer follow-through
and how mindfulness and coaching work together
You want a space that’s nonjudgmental and warm
but also asks sharp, direct questions.
You’re ready for change
and willing to show up and try new things between sessions.
This isn’t for you if…
You want a quick fix or a one-size-fits-all system
While I have lots of strategies and tools that work well for many ADHD folks, we still tailor them specifically to you and discover what works for your brain uniquely, and that takes some experimenting.
You’re looking purely for productivity hacks
Here, we get curious about what you truly want and need, balancing inner and outer work, so you’re not just getting more done but building a life that feels aligned, sustainable, and deeply alive.
You want someone to do it all for you
Your real life is the experiment, and you’re the one running it. I’ll suggest tools and strategies, ask clarifying questions, help you understand what worked and why, problem-solve barriers with you, and hold you accountable along the way.
You’re looking for therapy, diagnosis, or medication support
Coaching works great alongside these, but doesn’t replace them.

Hi, I’m Ying.
Award-winning ADHD Coach
Featured Expert on SELF Magazine
Conference Speaker
As a first-generation Asian immigrant woman with a late ADHD diagnosis, I bring both lived experience and professional expertise to our work together. I am originally from Shanghai and came to the U.S. for college; I now reside in Northern Virginia with my partner and our pup.
I have deep expertise in both the inner and outer world. With 10+ years of meditation practice, I am a meditation teacher featured on Self Magazine. Before coaching, I led program operations and implementation at a mindfulness startup co-founded by Jack Kornfield, Tara Brach, and Silicon Valley serial entrepreneurs whose previous companies were acquired by Spotify and Airbnb. The flagship program I ran operations for was the lifeblood of the business. That’s where I saw firsthand that inner work and high-level execution aren’t opposites. They work best together.
These experiences inform this 6-element, inner and outer world balance approach that won me the coaching mastery award from the largest adult adhd coaching platform.
How I coach: mindful, strategic, multi-dimensional, bridging all 6 elements of your inner and outer world.
Three lenses, backed by real training & deep experience in each.
Mindful
A grounded, non judgmental presence, built over a decade of practice.
