​“I can’t recommend it enough. Solidly research based, fully referenced, delivered from a place of lived experience with profound awareness for the intersectionalities at play in this space. I’m really grateful that PBHP [Plant-Based Health Professionals UK] gave me the opportunity to find Kana – I have learned so much” (Participant, 2025 Spring Cohort)

​

“I think the most meaningful part of the course for me was getting to know the very current and recent aspects of research.” (Participant, 2025 Spring Cohort)

​

“I talked with my mum yesterday about some different aspects of the health session that have affected her life, and opened up a discussion about the association between neurodivergence and chronic fatigue. My mum wants to buy your book when you write one Kana!” (Participant, 2025 Spring Cohort)

​

"I really appreciate all of that, Kana. It was a lot. Following the course, I appreciate more about how much it takes for you to pull that together. So I know it's all in your wonderful mind, but really appreciate all of the effort conveying what's in your wonderful mind into ours." (Participant, 2025 Spring Cohort)

​

“I find it really useful to start to have an analytical framework for these experiences- to help normalise, contextualise, and strategies from. For me that is such a powerful gift to share with neurodivergent people.

I also really like the emphasis on strengths based analyses alongside experienced challenges.” (Participant, 2025 Spring Cohort)

“I like Kana’s holistic approach : we are not just a brain, a body or emotions seen separately. We are a whole in our unique (but also brilliant & super interesting!) way of being in the world! I really like the idea of changing the existing paradigm. What aspects of the experience felt meaningful to me: the vision of this WHOLE & the idea of being able to advocate for this cause & help things evolve. It may just be the beginning of the journey, but this information is already huge & could have a major impact on redefining the norm, provided it is spread widely. That's what this course does so thank you...” (Participant, 2025 Spring Cohort)

​“I was more than surprised to discover this week just how closely physical issues are linked to neurodivergence. Realizing that pain, digestive disorders or extreme fatigue (which I partly associated, and so did my doctor, with long Covid) might not be isolated problems but rather connected to a different body structure has completely shaken my beliefs.” (Participant, 2025 Spring Cohort)

​

“I already had a bunch of people ask me if you're gonna give the course again.” (Participant, 2025 Spring Cohort)

​

“And as far as content goes: I had suspected it before, but this course really validated and confirmed that neurodiversity is a whole-person experience, and not something that can be changed or accommodated or "fixed"! Without it, I would not be me at all, because everything about me would be different - mental, cognitive, physical, etc.! And all of these aspects of me being me, and us being us, are valuable! I am still processing, and I am still sad and angry about some aspects that I have discovered about myself and my life history and about other people's situations. But at the same time I feel like we are on a good path toward recognizing and valuing people who are different. We might still be in a bubble of only a few people worldwide who can hold the complexity of the good-and-bad, but it gives me hope going forward, and feeling more at home within myself.” (Participant, 2025 Spring Cohort)

​

“thank you all for being one of these places that embrace all of who we are 💚🩵💛” (Participant, 2025 Spring Cohort)

​

I wanted to say that I see how much like also emotional work is in this course because of the... I mean, it's also so much vulnerability because you share so many personal experiences. And you share them in a way that make me think that, oh, it's it's easy, like it's just like a story you tell or whatever. But actually, it's your real life. So that that is quite a brave thing to do. And I'm very grateful." (Participant, 2025 Spring Cohort)

​

"I feel like, actually, I'm always getting emotional every week that we've had. But it's like the emotional in like a good way in, like a not not in a way that leaves me totally exhausted, but in a way that makes me feel like I'm releasing something." (Participant, 2025 Spring Cohort)

​

"I think this alone, that you speak about your experiences. And we have this space probably already helps and like. If we also create space like this for others, then we can generally help people feel more understood, because, like I am actually very high masking" (Participant, 2025 Spring Cohort)
