Sleepy Sisters
Two sisters exploring the complicated and exhausting aspects of life. We're also neurodivergent small business owners and parents. We're convinced understanding your body's language is essential for everyone. Come hang with us in this unpolished space with the Sleepy Sisters. The sisters: Elizabeth Brink is a coach for neurodivergent adults who incorporates Somatic Experiencing and other body-based modalities to support clients' healing. You can connect with her online at www.thrivingsistercoaching.com or on social media as Coach Elizabeth Brink. Sarah Durham is an author, artist, and coach for neurodivergent folks who are in the 'bumpy middle' of a life transition, whether that be in highschool, college, or later in life.
