Karla Pretorius

As a psychologist, PhD researcher, and someone who lives with ADHD and PDA, I've spent years understanding the intricate world of neurodivergence. My journey wasn't about 'fixing' myself, but understanding and embracing my unique neurological profile. Through this workshop, I'm sharing the strategies, insights, and hope that have transformed my own life, with the goal of empowering others to do the same.
