I'm Jayne Fox, how can I help?
I’m Jayne Fox, a Certified Mental Health Coach and ADHD Coach. I am passionate about helping neurodivergent people understand themselves better, recognise what does and doesn’t work for them, and cultivate self-acceptance, fun and joy. So they can live the life they want to live and do what truly matters to them.
I am the first Certified Mental Health Coach to offer ADHD coaching in Aotearoa NZ. And the first Certified Master Health Coach, too. This background and training means that I can support you as a whole person, from organising your busy day and getting things done, to managing your emotions and preventing burnout.

How did I get to where I am today?
Fifteen years ago, I got sick. Very sick. My doctor didn’t know why, and nor did any of the specialists I went to see. While battling with mysterious symptoms, I had to advocate for myself and help my doctor get to the bottom of what was going on.
This is when I learned an important fact: that we know what is 'normal' for our minds and bodies and we know when something is very wrong.
After numerous ambulance callouts, hospital appointments and doctors' visits, we figured out the cause of my symptoms together in the end. But that wasn't the end of the story – the burden on my body led to ME/CFS, which I have learned to manage over the years. As part of this process, I have gained a vast range of evidence-based tools, strategies and habits that help me stay healthy and keep my physical, mental and emotional health firmly on track.
I am grateful for all of these hard-won lessons, as they helped me keep going through demanding and difficult times, from the day-to-day challenges of raising kids to the trauma and tragedy of bereavement, heartbreak and loss.
Later, once my children were teenagers and I had space to step back and reflect on my life's journey, I knew I wanted to make a difference in the lives of others going through difficult times and empower them to overcome adversity.
Drawing on my Bachelor of Science and my background in team leadership, training and medical communications, I trained in health coaching, mental health coaching and nutritional science with PreKure – a leading educator in preventive medicine and mental health that is aiming to change the face of healthcare.
Through my training, study and lived experience, mental health has become a deep-seated passion of mine, as I recognise how crucial this is in everything we do and what a profound role it plays in our wellbeing and how we live our lives.
My mental health training also helped me better recognise my own neurodivergent traits, embrace the unique strengths that come with ADHD and AuDHD, and find strategies that help overcome the challenges.
Now, as a Certified Mental Health Coach and ADHD Coach, I help neurodivergent people live the life they want and do what matters to them.
With a trauma-informed and neurodiversity-affirming approach, I offer a safe space, practical support, and real-life strategies to help my clients thrive.
Let me know how I can support you to move forward to live the life you want and be the person you truly want to be.
